Family Gathering

醬蒸非洲魚 Steamed Tilapia with special sauce (RM38)
The fish was big for a good price, definitely worth it. The sauce is also house-made, special with sambal sauce too. Personally, it was a bit too oily for my liking, but still okay for an occasional dish.

姜蓉龍躉魚片 (RM28 per 100g) The bosslady recommended this dish because their fish was on promotion. They were very generous with the ginger mince and the fried garlic pieces, which improved the texture. The fish was slightly overcooked according to my family but they still considered it good since the estuary garupa fish isn't easy to cook.

We went in here because my mum was looking for an old friend who owned this restaurant (but didn't manage to because he owned the other one named 福記 so pls contact if you know). Pictured: S 貴妃苗菇仔 (RM20) M 炒蓮藕 (RM20) M 雙豆腐 (RM22) The tofu especially tasted good, they even make white tofu flavourful but not exceptionally salty and the 招牌豆腐 was crispy but not oily, with just the right amount of flavour.

Complementary and they've been serving this since the start!

According to mum, they've been famous for their sambal since the 80s/90s when they were still operating under a big tree. The petais are big and they do not skimp on the serving. RM20

Homemade tofu with an eggy taste. RM18

Served in a melon shell with big melon balls 😉 The sauce is sweet and goes perfect with rice! (RM24)

Lime Steamed Fish 酸柑蒸魚 (RM36)
Homemade Minced Meat Tofu (RM13)
Lamyu Yao Mak Vegetables (RM12)
Homemade Herbal Tea (RM3)

Came here a few times and my family was attracted by the fresh seafood and rice that was packed with millet. This time there weren't as much millet and the overall experience wasn't as awesome as the last few times I was here, perhaps the bosslady wasn't around to keep everything top notch. Nevertheless, the food was still good and I would recommend family goers to try this place out. Also, you can request to add extra mushrooms to the steamed fish too. They boil their herbal tea themselves with generous ingredients, so it is pretty worth the price.

This women-run restaurant with no signboard is famous in the area for dishing up some delicious Hong Siew Yu Tao, or stewed fish head cooked on a wood fired stove. I’m not the most ardent fan of freshwater fish taste, but the garlicky, fermented soy gravy was delicious and made up for the pungent fishy taste. Also worth noting is their stir fry pork innards filled with wok hei.

Like any good Chinese restaurant, it’s less about the decor and the service and more about the food — so come hungry but also be prepared to wait at least an hour for your meal.

Stepping into Fast Food Fish Head Restaurant is like coming home to family. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, even though I could barely speak mandarin. I muttered Tilapia and tofu, and the lady who took my order totally knew what I wanted. Got the Steamed Tilapia in classic Chinese prep with fermented black beans, ginger and light soy sauce. The fish was perfectly cooked - tender and silky, and not too ‘fishy’ at all. The fried toufu topped with minced meat though, is a must order. It’s got that whole crispy on the outside and silky on the inside thing going on. Yum!
