Ikan Patin - Gulai Tempoyak Ikan Patin Gerai Kak Mek, Temerloh

 Sugar overload...had coca-cola and Coconut Jelly. I refused to sleep till we arrived at Temerloh...while Papa and Mamarazzi hunting for Ikan Patin, I dozed off.

Woke up found myself here. A small stall by the roadside. The stall that we went to last time was not open.

I asked camera from Mamarazzi. I wanna snap photo....clear ah the photos? well....Mamarazzi "edited" them la.

This man "terror lah". He can catch the fish by using his hand only. No need to use net!

  3.5kg...for 4 Patin Fish....nat bad.

 He also helped Mamarazzi to clean the fish.

 Chop! Chop! Chop! and the wifey wrap them up and collect money.

  Not bad la...Doesn't even cost RM50.

As it was getting late, Mamarazzi suggested we have dinner at Temerloh. It was school holiday. The highway is expected to be pretty jam up. Better "makan"(eat) first.

Googled and saw many recommend "Gerai Makan Pak Usop" at Temerloh Esplanade. Got lost a few times coz the GPS got "dizzy". Halfway, navigating it would suddenly say "Route re-calculation". 

Gave up....just "hentam" and drive blindly la. Spotted the stall.. Too bad it was closed...*sobs*

 

 Lucky for us, the stall next to it was open and it was also another recommended eating place. Gerai Kak Mek

 Wow...they have TWO big pot of Gulai Tempoyak Ikan Patin. For those of you who doesn't know, tempoyak is fermented durians. It's used to cook gulai which is a type of "soupy" food. It's spicy and and have curry-like sauce.

Papa asked the price before ordering coz we read somewhere that some stall sells this type of fish at an exorbitant price.

this piece was RM10. Not bad la coz it was such a big piece. initially Papa wanted to have both the head and tail but luckly Mamarazzi said one piece is enough. Too much can't finish.

True enough...one piece was just nice for us. 

Fuiyoh...I can tell you that it was "raining" in the stall as we ate or rather as Papa and Mamarazzi ate. The gulai was very spicy. But Papa slurped up the gulai to the last drop. It was THAT good

  Some additional dishes 

 For me...I opted to be safe. I had Keoy Teow Ladna. Not spicy at all though it looks yellow.

Mamarazzi said last time when she was in Standard 6, a Malay friend invited her to her Hari Raya open house. The mother cooked up a storm, rendang daging, curry chicken etc. Most of the dishes have red color..meanning contains Cili.

Mamarazzi can't take much of Cili la....she spotted one dish which is yellow in color. Hmmm...that one must be a "safe" dish. Yellow couldn't be spicy, right.

Oh boy! how wrong she was. It was Gulai Tempoyak. Mak Datuk Oi!! It was so spicy that she can't feel her tongue anymore. It was cooked with "cili padi" (Bird's eye chili). That is the super spicy cili as compared to the normal red ones.

  Papa had to "cool down" with this.

  But this did not deterred him for "Tapau-ing" some more of the Gulai Tempoyak Ikan Patin home. Asked for extra "soup" so that Mamarazzi can "add-in" the Ikan patin that we bought earlier.

Fuih....that was one experience that I won't forget so soon

Oh ya...where is this stall...it's located at C-1, Lurah Semantan, Temerloh. Googled the phone number is  : 09-296 5602

If you are using the same sotplug GPS that Mamarazzi is using, try pointing it to Petronas at Lurah Semantan. It's easier. The row of stall is just opposite of the petrol station.

To Infinity and Umbai!

After exploring the room, of course ler time to go To Infinity and ...swimming!

 Yup...Casa Del Rio Melaka have a swimming pool called the Infinity Pool.

 

Why Infinity Pool?Well....errr....no need to explain gua. Only kids pool have boundary. The adult side seems to stretch to infinity.

 Great view of the river.

 Can see Menara Taming Sari and the big big ship from the pool.

 Great pool side service too. Complimentary drinks.

Evening time.....time to hunt for fish...oppss...food.

Growing very "tall" liao.....gonna need more than 3 seats if I were to sleep comfortably...

Last round we went to Umbai too but at another part. This round we went to  Perkampungan Ikan Bakar Terapung , Umbai, Melaka

Sleeeppy...why so fast arrived  geh....I haven;t have enough of my beauty sleep yet leh.

Stir fried kangkung RM6. A bit salty but just nice if eat with rice.

Fried Sotong(Squid). Based on seasonal price. This plate costed us RM12.06. Yummy.

Papa had Kerang(Clam?)...Alamak..portion so big though asked for small portion.  Big, sweet and fresh. RM8

Mamarazzi actually wanted Kepah(mussel?) but ter-ordered Lala( smaller type of Mussel). This one was RM12.

She did not enjoy it much coz some of the Lala still have a bit of sand in it. Guess, this proves the Lala are fresh coz if the Lala have been in the water long time, the sands would have been washed out already.

I also want a Kerang la.

Eh....why nothing inside ?

See...empty...naughty Papa...ate the kerang already and gave me empty shell. But I really enjoyed playing with the shell la.

Mamarazzi wanted Ikan Bakar(Grilled Frish).  This was the tiniest fish...but still very big hor? Ikan Jenak based on seasonal price. This one was 800gm , cost us RM28. Fresh.

Wah...the sauce for the fish was super-duper spicy. Yumm Yumm according to her.

My "relatives" must have smelled the nice fragrant of the seafood. They came to "tumpang makan".

Over ordered again....

While waiting for Papa and Mamarazzi finish makan, I played with the shells. My new "lego" .

Restaurant Warisan Sambal Opah, USJ 9

 Got to know about this place through B.Y.O.B 's Lady Boss. Said the Nasi Lemak here taste very good but have to beware as the queue for the Nasi Lemak will be very long.

 Sure enough! wah lau eh...queue till outside the road leh.

 While Mamarazzi was queueing up, I went and look around. Hmmm...got "noodle" here leh.

 Adoi....no wonder long queue la. Everyone was buying more than a packet. The one infront of Mamarazzi was buying 10 packets!

Not to be out done, Mamarazzi also "tapau-ed" 6 packets. Two for each of us.

 No wonder they cook such big pot.

 a lot of "lauk" to choose from too.

 "Tapau-ed " some eggs for Papa. 

 And a bit of Sotong for Mamarazzi. These two "lauk" costed RM7.  Kinda pricey for Mamarazzi.

Nasi Lemak was RM1 a packet. Portion just nice for small eater. Big eaters like me need to have at least two packets.

Though portion not that big and some would say RM1 is expensive for the portion, but Mamarazzi taste the Nasi Lemak and said it was real good. Got a lot of Santan.

For me, I love their Ikan bilis, Very crunchy.

Restaurant Sri Melaka, Amcorp Mall (Revisited)

Hehehehe! It's me again......trying out my not so new camera. Mamarazzi said I snapped 100 self photos , only 1 can be used.

 This one.....a lucky shot. Don't  know why since last month we went to Restaurant Sri Melaka, I've got a craving to makan at that restaurant again.

I call this restaurant as "Little Giant Restaurant" coz at Amcorp Mall there is a little Giant Hypermarket and I associate it with the restaurant. Mamarazzi also puzzled why I do that.

Anyway, after a "bodek-ing" session with Papa, he brought me there. No need bodek Mamarazzi as Bookxcess is there mah

This round I had Keoy Teow Soup. Not in the menu but I "bodek" them and the Uncle Waiter say can make.

 Hmmm.....already told them no need so much ingredient and yet they still give me so much ingredient, How to finish ah? They very generous leh.

 Last round, SK commented that the Nasi Goreng Nyonya there quite nice when Mamarazzi posted about Restaurant Sri Melaka

We had that. MMMmmmm....Mamarazzi said really not bad wor. Very aromatic and got salted fish taste. Yummy!

She had Curry Laksa. Fuiyo...so big bowl and generous with ingredients too. There were Chicken meat, tauhu Pok, kerang, kacang panjang , taugeh and lots of soup. She likes it this way coz she always opt for bihun plus yellow noodles.

Usually the Bihun soak up the soup very fast. Hence the more soup they give her the better. Only down side was the soup was quite oily. Next time must ask them not to put so much oil.

 As for me, I will stick to my keoy Teow soup. Safer and nicer.

 Once again, Papa ordered ABC for me. 

 But I rather eat the Dessert that came with the set meals.

Cute presentation of the dessert.
