However there was a trail of story about this bridge. Prior to this, this bridge was once destructed due to its fragile material (wooden made) and part of the bridge was collapsed and caused 2 injuries and thence it was abandoned.
The reason of being called lover bridge as it has made up many love relationships that lasts eternally. This place used to attract many couples to be here for sunset watching.
Hence the villager couldn't bear it to see this miracle and lovely bridge being abandoned & they'd proposed to state government to rebuild.
Besides, the collapse of this bridge resulted 2 families restaurant business were impacted badly ( low & Lee). Thus, they tried several attempts to propose to state government to rebuild. Finally, the bridge has been successfully rebuilt in 2015. And it serves as a jetty for 40 fishing boats.

If you're photographer, this could be the best piece of scenic place to completely release your shooting talents.
Surprisingly, the sea water is quite clean and it's suitable for swim. If you come at a low tide, you would probably need to walk quite a distance to reach the sea water.

13. Restaurant Asam Batu Laut
After a tiring day, we pamper ourselves with a blissful dinner at this place called restaurant Asam Batu Laut. This restaurant is located beside a mangrove bay, and the ambience is too outstanding. While having your meal, you can have a closest view to the bay and feel the sea breeze. Hearing the waves gently tap on the stone until the sky slowly into the darkness and the horizon is gradually fading and last merging into the grey and into night.
The seafoods served in this restaurant are super fresh, they seems just freshly caught in the sea.
The signature dish is fried oyster egg. The oyster is as big as an eye ball shape and when you bite on it, the juice burst out from the centre. Too impressive & toothsome! The fried egg further complement the taste of the oyster. Too good to believe.
Try the oats prawns too. The prawns are very succulent and tender. When you peel off the shell, they look half transparent with orange stripe. It tastes like exactly the sashimi with mild oats scent. Worth trying.
We order 3 dishes + 2 bowl of rice + 2 drinks only cost us RM 53.90.
Reasonable.

3. Sungai Pelek Food Hunt
When you're on the way to tanjung sepat, you will pass by a small town called Sg. Pelek. Nothing fancy about this town, but you can stop over for some street snacks within the town. There are some open sided stalls near to roadside selling some tea time snack. I'll recommend you the following :
A. Prawn crackers / Spring Roll
Locate this mobile cart selling prawn crackers and spring roll. The stall run by a Chinese woman and her daughter. The special highlight is the prawn crackers. Super crispy and there are 2 huge prawns attached in the centre of the crackers. A perfect bite for your tea time. The batter is well mixed with onion and leek. You won't taste a lot of flour. Can try their home make spring roll too. The filling is tasty with well marinated minced meat
B. Chinese Pastries
There is a stall selling some Chinese Pastries. The variety is impressive. And some nyonya pastries are equally nice as the ones that you have in Melaka. Try the cendol kuih. It's nice
C. Fu Zhou giant Cookies ( 夜夜香福州光饼)
This stall is located in front of the Chinese kopitiam YE YE XIANG (夜夜香). This stall is selling traditional Fu Zhou Cookies. There're 3 kind of fillings. BBQ pork, red bean & peanuts. Personally, I like the barbeque flavour as its more savory kind and tastes like home cooked recipes. But it comes with some fatty bits. Its worth to try.
