: : The Venue : :
Sina’ (Mother in Kelabit) and Dad came down for Emeline’s wedding tomorrow night. Ben and I picked them up at the airport and sent them over to my Auntie Mimi and Uncle Kwang’s house to drop off their luggage. Then, off we went looking for a seafood place that has terubok. Decided to go to the Venue and see if we could get it there as the food are really good and the pricing very reasonable.
First order that arrived was the midin cooked with garlic and chinese wine. Taste a bit sourish but as we were all hungry, we wallop it pretty quick.
Of course, Sina’ and Dad definitely went for the oyster omelette. Tasted delicious and again, everything was eaten heartily.
Sina’ : Is that our fish on the counter? Aiyo! I wish they hurry up and bring it to us before it gets cold.
Well, it came a bit later compared to the first two dishes. As I was pretty hungry, I completely FORGOT to take a picture of it. By the time I remember, we finished half of it already. So, apologies if the picture doesn’t look so appetizing. Click here for more information on the fish terubok. It’s an extremely boney fish so the only way to eat it is with rice. The bones stuck in one’s throat will stick to the rice and be removed. Ben told me that most of the terubok fish found in restaurants around Sarawak doesn’t come from Sarawak but rather from Bangladesh! This is because there aren’t enough fish population to sustain the demand for it in Sarawak. The flesh is very sweet and juicy, but like I said, very boney.
They actually got our dish wrong here. We ordered Baked Crab but the orders were mixed up so we ended up with Fried Crab with Egg instead. Still, it tasted pretty good so we didn’t complain so much after that.
About The Venue, the last time I was there was back in the month of June. At that time, there weren’t so many diners there compared to now. It was pretty packed this time both inside and outside the restaurant. It was chaotic and took sometime for our orders to be delivered. Later, we found out from Auntie Mimi it’s because they’re not organized and she was right. However, if one is not so picky, the restaurant serves extremely good food. Unfortunately, it is non-halal as they cook pork leg there, which looked pretty appetizing but it sure was a lot.
