So I went for a short staycation with my friend by the seaside at Avani Sepang. After the sunset, then we were slowly googling up some places nearby for dinner.
For #marketfriday, let's go to a simple Malay seafood restaurant called Restaurant Terapung (Floating Restaurant in Malay) H.M. Bagan Seafood in Bagan Lalang, Malaysia.
This restaurant is just 1.2km away from our resort and it only took us 5 minutes to drive there. It had some good reviews from Google so we thought just give it a try.
When we reached, the staff ushered us to choose a table and then led us to another area behind the dining area to choose our seafood.
There were all sorts of local seafood. I spotted some clams, bamboo clams, squid, crabs, prawns and also a variety of fishes.
They do look fresh. The price of the different seafood is displayed on a board.
They also asked us how we wanted to have the different seafood cooked. We can choose to fry them, deep fry them, steam, grill or boil. For the different ways of cooking, we can even opt to cook them spicy or not spicy. My friend cannot take spicy food so we opted all to be non-spicy.
While waiting for the seafood to be cooked, we ordered coconut drinks.
Considering to have a vegetable dish as well, we ordered the Kailan vegetable stir fried with salted fish. It was very tasty.
Here comes all our seafood!
This is deep fried squid battered with flour. I absolutely love this. It comes with a very delicious Thai kind of sauce.
The second dish is bamboo clam cooked with ginger.
At first we thought the bamboo clam weren't much. We took it by a rough estimation so we don't know how much it would be after it is cooked. But we did find quite a lot of it fallen off its shell. The gravy is very appetizing too.
Finally this is a barramundi fish steamed with supposedly lime but we saw lemon instead. Still, it did not disappoint. It was tangy and savory. So good and fresh!
And of course we finished everything!!!
This restaurant is said to be a floating restaurant as its name suggested. I could see there is an area that is probably on stilts overlooking the sea. But honestly it was all too dark to see anything haha.
Asides from that, the pricing is very reasonable. All these dishes cost us only MYR91.30, less than MYR 100! It is a huge surprise to me because usually the tourist spots may charge a higher price knowing that tourists will come by. The food was also satisfying and we went back with a happy stomach!
MYR91.30 is $20.49 !!! That is a bargain for two people to eat like a king?? Score!!!! You really did do well!
I have to admit, the battered and fried squid is my favorite! I love it. We call it calamari here, but, it is the same! Everything looked absolutely fresh and delicious! I am still amazed at how much the food was! You don't want to know how much that would be here! The place looked clean and the ingredients looked delicious! I think #MaretFriday should make a field trip there! I apologize for such a late reply, I have been out of town watching the wild horse round-up and did not have regular wifi available at my camp. I am going through all the posts and reading them, that is the best part of the week, and you have spent much time and effort putting your post together. I never have to wonder about how things are going in your part of the world. Seems like I get to hear weekly about the happenings. How fun for me and all the other people who stop by to give it a read. As an aside, I have been really happy with how well the #MarketFriday participants are stopping by others' posts to give them some support and leaving comments. It is the way to share, and the way to make everyone feel like their contribution means something... you know it does! Thank you so much for participating in the challenge!!
Thank you for participating in #MarketFriday! I appreciate the time and effort that goes into putting a post together for the challenge. It is with great pleasure that I read through and realize how much we have all tried to include things in our world that may be unique to the area. I have learned so much about the different cultures of the world, especially the small things that go unnoticed except by those looking for them. Life is interesting, wherever you are, whatever you are doing. I hope the week has found you healthy and happy, as we all look to prosper in our way of life.
