Freshwater Fish, Anyone?

Last Saturday, we had a road trip to Sungai Kob and Sungai Sedim, Kulim. Sungai Kob for food whereas Sungai Sedim for nature walk.

Sungai Kob is off Kulim Hi-Tech Park where Silterra, Infineon, and etc situated. So why Sungai Kob? Cos there is a restaurant somewhere inside this small town/pekan.

Heard before Jason of Astro AEC? This particular restaurant was featured before in his show. It serves freshwater fish and only freshwater fish. You cannot 
find chicken, meat or anything here but ONLY fish!

It is situated in a very sua par place deep inside the oil palm plantation and this is a freshwater fish farm first before it became a restaurant.It is 1.5km from the mainroad and the road was bumpy, so if your car is lowered, beware. You'll see alot of signs helping you to get access to the restaurant.

The second sign



The third sign



Here we are..



It is said that there are alot of flies. But when we were there, there were flies but not that much lo.








We reached there around 1pm and was greeted by a fierce aunty taking order from us.

Fierce aunty: Lai, What fish want to order?
Us :Aunty, got what fish ar?
Fierce Aunty:(muttering all the fish dishes available)
Me :What type of fish is that?
Fierce Aunty:Freshwater fish la!
Me : -_-|||

Okie..I might be quite stupiak sometimes.Ignore me.

So we ordered three types of fish dishes and a vege dish. While waiting for the dishes to come, we went for a walk among the ponds.


The Patin fish pond



The Tilapia pond



Me and the carp pond



While walked back to the restaurant, WH told me that the fierce aunty was looking for us when the food was served. The conversation goes like this..

Fierce Aunty: Eh where are them?
WH : Oh, they went for a walk
Fierce Aunty: How come you all know about this place?
WH :We searched from the Internet
Fierce Aunty: Oh..you dunno meh...You know the Jason of Astro AEC came here and
interviewed us and was featured in his show.
WH : We don't have Astro wan at home...-__-|||

Fierce Aunty walked back to the counter and take something

Fierce Aunty: Nah, I give u this CD..You go home and see then you'll know what to do order next time you come here.




Apparently, the whole show was in Mandarin and I dont quite understand what they are talking bout. I just know that they have seven type of fishes only. Thats all.


Three Flavors Tilapia



Steamed fish with garlic



Deep Fried Patin with black soya sauce





The Deep Fried Patin with black soya sauce dish is actually QUARTER of the original size of a Patin fish! Just imagine how big the fish is! Thats why you never see a tail there...and it looks weird!O.o

All the fish dishes are nice and very fresh.Patin steamed with garlic is highly recommended! The total bill is RM124 for eight person including drinks and rice which is reasonable I would say.

Oh ya, the map to the restaurant, just in case you guys wanna go there. This map is a combination of going to the Tree Top Walk in Sungai Sedim and to the Restaurant. I took it from the Tree Top Walk website. I know this map is kinda small..umm..cos I really dont know how to enlarge it! The restaurant is highlighted in PINK colour font.



Gonna blog later about Sungai Sedim, this entry is quite long dee...hehe.
