Muar and Melaka Trip during CNY- Pt1

On the second day of CNY, my husband and I drove down to Muar and Melaka to visit some friends there. My husband's friend Eugene who is staying in Parit Jawa, a small fishing village about 15 minutes drive from Muar took us to this place to eat the specialities here.

Entrance to the village:

This is the restaurant we went....an attap hut facing the better Warong Makan built by the local town council. It was crowded. Actually behind this place, there are two better looking seafood restaurants. But Eugene brought us here.You can select type of seafood near the kitchen.Local favourite drinks, mine too....pineapple juice ( but in can lah!) According to Eugene, this is a rare fish.....just deep fried and eat with sambal chili provided.

This is stingray with preserved vegetable (Kiam Chai) and tamarind.

Sambal udang with petai.

This is the star of the restaurant...Assam Fish. According to Eugene, Assam Fish originated from this small little village. If you want extra gravy, you can ask at no extra charge. The fish is very fresh and full of tamarind pieces (assam keping) and shallots flavour. Unlike Penang or Melaka style of Assam Fish where chopped Bunga Kantan or Mint leaves are garnished, this Assam Fish lack of those but still taste good and it is not as sweet as the Penang or Melaka style, it is more sourish.

All the dishes go so well with rice. It was so hot that day and we were eating spicy food...T-shirt, slippers, good food, good companions...it is kinda of good experience.
