: : Mukah Seafood : :

Took an old collegemate who is down from Penang for work. She wanted to eat some of the local dishes so decided to take her to Mukah Seafood, Ban Hock Road.

We started off with some appetizers, namely keropok a.k.a. prawn crackers. These were made in Mukah and was actually quite tasty. Not too much flour in it.

We also ordered some midin but as there was already another post up, I decided not to take a picture. You can view the postings here of the cooked and uncooked version.

This is a Melanau dish called umai made from raw fish. The waitress didn’t know what was the name of the fish in English but it’s called ikan bulan (moon fish) in Malay. The fish is cut into slices and mixed with lime juice, blended chillis, purple shallots and some sugar, salt and pepper to taste. On the right hand side of the picture, is a small sauce dish filled with uncooked sago pearls. Yes, it actually looks like that after getting it from the sago tree bark.

This is a yam dish cooked with red snapper and other vegetables. Some yam is blended first to make the soup but pieces of it are cooked with the fish. YH ate quite a lot of this.

Popping by the Food Section, found that Josh had some interesting links posted up. I’m not going to put the links here as it’s all in his posting. So, go there to find the link. Yep, I’m playing treasure hunt here.

The last blackout food story.

It’s amazing how catastrophe bring people together. Then again, it also brings to mind how we all take our neighbours for granted and never get to know them better.

“Chocolate is no longer chocolate.”

I can hear all the *gasps* and *choke* online right now. Then again, is there a real difference in French Chocolate compared to British Chocolate? Can’t tell the differene. Then again, I’m not much of a chocolate lover. Resultant of a childhood whereby all chocolate consumption was regulated by parental authority.

Homemade Hisbiscus Flower Margahritas.

I will never look at our National Flower in the same way again. Wonder if it will ever be a fad thing during National Day?

Yo Fang! We gotta try and do this with tea! Hahaha!

“Famous chefs naked with their blender”

The lady looks great but not sure about the men. How come we never have such things in Malaysia? Do it for charity mah!
