Broga Ikan Bakar

Went fishing again. Started of at 4.30 am this time. The craziness. Fished till noon. Caught nothing but a heat stroke. What a way to spend a Sunday. Decided to have a good meal to make up for it. Called up a friend and asked if there's anything good in the area. We were directed to a place famous for their ikan bakar.



The path that leads to the place. Not convincing at all. We kept chanting that we'd kill the friend if the food there sucked.


Shop sign board.


The place was surrounded by rubber trees and lush greenery. Could see the hills from there and it was a really nice scenery. The gentle breeze and fresh air really stired up my appetite.


The restaurant had a pond right beside it and it was filled with red tilapias. Oh, I forgot to mention that they only serve tilapias there, fresh from the pond.


People can personally "pick" their fish there and send it straight for the baking. It was just the matter of seconds for them to get a hook up.


Shop menu. Whatever it says.


The fishes are baked over charcoal. Food cooked on charcoal always taste good. I'm not sure why but they really taste good. Only problem would be that it'd take a freaking long time. It felt like forever waiting for our food today. Or maybe I was just hungry.


We ordered 3 types of ikan bakar (original, nyonya and asam), curry mutton, some okra/ lady's fingers, and some ginger duck. Quite a big order considering that there was only 3 of us. I know the picture looks disgusting, but it was pretty alright. The fishes there were really fresh and didn't taste of mud. The cooking style was kinda bland, which is good in a way where we could really taste the fish. No point in having fresh fishes if the taste were to be covered by some other flavour.


Curry mutton.


Okra.

The bill came up to RM81.20. Calculative cina didn't even spare us the twenty cents. For 6 dishes, I'd say the price is quite alright. I enjoyed the environment and I'd come back again someday. Next time for beer and ikan bakar.
