When my daughter was still here last week, she wanted to have some ikan bakar (grilled fish). I remember there is a stall outside Fat Mom’s, along Lanang Road…but when we got there, we discovered that the stall was not open. So we went to Taman Harmoni instead…
This is the open air food court located around Jalan Awang Ramli Amit (formerly Race Course Road) and Archer Road, something like that Taman Muhibbah near my house in the Delta Comemrcial Estate, Jalan Pedada…but they only sell only halal food at this one.
We had the grilled sambal sotong (cuttlefish) which was very very nice…
…and the ikan bakar…
We had the black pomfret (bawal hitam) and it would have tasted great, had the fish been fresh but unfortunately, I think it was one of those frozen ones that tasted bland and was somewhat disappointing. I was told that the very popular satay stall – formerly at the original Sibu Recreation Club in the town, moved here as well but I did not know the stall number, so I just ordered some at random…
They were not great either, and some of the sticks were a little bit too overdone. I would prefer the ones at the Malay stall at Taman Muhibbah near my house. Nobody wanted rice, so I ordered a plate of mee kahwin for us to share…
Normally, they would have mee/noodles, kway teow and mihun, all mixed together…but this one did not have the mihun. Fried with shrimps and sotong, all of us agreed that it was very nice and something worth having.
I don’t know how much all that was, as an ex-student happened to be having his dinner there too with his family and he took care of the bill. Responding to that, my daughter remarked, “Gee! It’s so nice to a teacher!” Ummm…I shall reserve my comment on that! LOL!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
