Wants for dinner…

Melissa came home on Friday last week for the weekend and she wanted the Indonesian pecel lele (RM5.50)…

…for dinner so when the sun went down…

Sunset at Bandong

…there we were at this place again…

Penyet Bandong

…so she could have what she was craving for.

I also had the same as I also love the deep-fried keli (catfish) and the sambal (chili dip) is really nice and goes absolutely well with the fish and the raw vegetables and we all love the rice, wrapped in banana leaf…

…which has that special fragrance of its own.

My missus had their ayam penyet (RM6.50)…

…as she is not fond of the fish (nor duck and a lot of other things).

I also ordered the ikan bakar (grilled fish) from a stall nearby…

…to share as I have heard some people raving about how nice the grilled fish from the stalls at Bandong is. Well, it  was good – a big slice of ikan parek (stingray) and the sambal was good too but I wouldn’t say it is the best that I have had. I had something much better in Penang and I miss the Portuguese grilled fish at the food court at Mid Valley in KL. That one was absolutely awesome! This did not come cheap either – RM17.00 for that…and since it did not get us jumping up and down with delight, I guess I would not order that the next time around.

Of course we would be back here again…

…for the pecel lele and the ayam penyet and the very nice satay that we did not order that night and perhaps, we could also try some more of the many things available here.
