Tonight, my brother took us to sample his recent discovery - vermicelli cooked with big-head prawns 冬粉生蝦煲 at a restaurant in Bukit Tinggi. I have never been to Bukit Tinggi which is on the way to Genting Highlands. It is a funny place. A whole row of shops and restaurants literally just pop up in the middle of the highway. It is nowhere near the sea but all restaurants serve seafood - although I think there is a river nearby but I can't see it.
Traffic was relatively good coming here, took us only 20-25 mins rather than the usual 40-45 mins. When we got to Bukit Tinggi, we drove past the main street, past all the big restaurants to the one right at the end of the street. It's a small restaurant with vegetable and fruits stalls on both sides and a counter that sell many specialty snacks.
This was what we were here for! Looked steaming good. |
This steam Sun Hok fish 順殼魚 was nicely done. Cooked just right so the fish was firm yet juicy. |
We also ordered other dishes but they were only OK when compared to the prawn dish. So, maybe next time, we just double up the prawn dish and call it a day!
Update - 5 April 2013
Went back again with the family for the vermicelli cooked with big-head prawns. This dish was still good. I was told that after my first visit, this restaurant has gotten a bit more popular and as a result service has gone downhill. That is a fatal fault in a restaurant business, I hope they take note of this.
This trip we tried a new dish - deep fried 非洲魚. Again, the quality varies, this time it was OK.
