Tasty grilled fish

Usually, we'll have dinner out after my dad finishes his work. We'll have simple dinner nearby our home. There was this once when we decided on having fried noodles. We ended up in a restaurant named Tin Hiong Lau (in Inanam, near to Inanam Pharmacy). There's this stall that cooks 'Ikan Panggang', also known as grilled fish. Grilled fish in Malaysia are normally prepared by first seasoning/marinating the fish with spices/chillies/chilli paste etc. and then grilled on top of a banana leaf till it's cooked. My dad had grilled fish in this particular stall before and said it's delicious. So, we ordered a medium sized stingray slice. To my surprise, it's one of the most delicious Ikan Panggang I had before. Although visible red chillies are seen on top of the fish, it's not that spicy. It's slightly sweet and the fried onions gives the fish a bit more ummpph to the taste. However, it's slightly oily. Otherwise, it's definitely two thumbs up for this stall's fish!


Part of the grilled fish. Can't wait to try this fish out even before I remember to take a shot of it.

Served with lime and onions topping.

Chilli that taste would taste well with pan mee :p

Hello from BORNEO!

It's been quite a while since I post. Finally I get to come online as I was away for Kuching a few days. It has been a tiring journey, KL-KK(BKI)-Kuching-KK. Fortunately, the journey wasn't all that bad. Enjoyed the food in Kuching. The food was cheap and nice. Anyway, today, I would like to talk about one of my favourite food in KK.

It's none other than SEAFOOD but in porridge (or rather congee but locals mostly use porridge). This restaurant (I'll update on the name of the restaurant ASAP) cooks good congee. The texture is smooth and most importantly for me is, it doesn't taste too strong of ginger. Besides seafood, chicken, pork and beef are also available.


Claypot fish congee


Slices of fish


Claypot pork congee

The good thing about serving congees in claypot is that the congee remains hot in the claypot for a longer period of time compare to ordinary bowl which retain the heat and congee's texture and taste. The claypot congee ranges from Rm6.50-Rm10.00 per person. Besides congee, this restaurant does serve Yong Tau Fu, noodles and some common dishes I yet to try.

Overall, I prefer the fish congee. The slices of fish are fresh and given in a generous portion. I normally add in a little bit of Sabah chilli padi to enhance the taste. Hmm... I think crab congee would be nice and sweet. I'll give it a try someday. Ciao for now!

Land Below The Wind.. Here I come!

I've been very busy these few days. I've been busy packing my stuff back to my hometown. I've been busy preparing all the pets to be put at Dave's place. I've been busy transferring cars to Dave's place. I've been busy thinking of what I've missed packing and so on.

Tomorrow, at this hour, I should have arrived back home. I'll be seeing my dad and youngest sis. I miss them. However, leaving back home, I'll be missing my dear Dave here :(. I'll miss my friends here as well. Sonia, I'm sorry that I couldn't arrange a free time to bring you out as I'm stuck with errands.

This coming trip back home will be a bit different. Tomorrow, I'll touch down in the land below the wind. The day after tomorrow, I'll be in the land of meow~~ meow~~; Kuching!! I've never been there for quite some time. I'll update my trip from time to time. As for now, I must ciao~~

Current Snippets

I'll be back! pretty soon...
