real fish in a rice shop
Malay cuisine is straight to the point and follows the maxim WYSWYG to the hilt. In fact it is the most popular food in Malaysia , all things considered. For one , the majority of the local population makes a beeline for this kind of ubiquitious offering , in Megamalls , outside apartment complexes , Government Buildings , residential estates and ....yes the backStreets.
The crowd below is a pretty common sight in Malaysia , with hungry customers looking lovingly down , ogling and feebly trying to resist the multiple tempting charms. Why ! It does take an extra strong spirit to overcome the delicious array of stunning colors and fragrant ( pungent ? ) aromas, no ?
A BSG favourite , the absolutely gorgeous fresh living greens ( ulam ) with the adorable fermented sambal(s)
cencaru ( armour fish with super hard bones ) ikan bakar with another signature pungently biting sauce
a masterful display of freshly fried fish ( from the nearby sea ) , adorned to green perfection
the bestest cheapest lala you can find ( now you can forget all the seafood centres ! )
another one , this is the slimy soft fresh water version
baby squids , ( watch it ! sushi king )
delightful desserty companion the cendul with giant red beans ( no need to go Penang oredi )
here by the roadside , all for a RM a fraction of what you will get in seafood restaurants

Is that cincaluk being used in one of those sambals? Mmmm... yummy... It's an acquired taste but I love it! :D
nice blog. must rmbr to stop by whn i nxt go lumut. one question, wotis WYSWYG ? haha
yah, what's WYSWYG? will.you.stay.will.you.go?? haha!
yes, Malay cuisine is direct and almost au naturale. even a simple grilled cencaru tastes fantastic with just sambal belacan and chopped onions and lime. gorgeous.
so far..so far...when r u goin to blog about KL????

Suddenly I see and read so many fish, I scared! :P
Do I see cincalok in the second pic?? My favourite accompaniment but been banned from having it in the house by my wife!

CENDOL! hehe ... Not reli a fan of Malay style fried fish. Not sure why, probably cz tends to be very dry and boney. No tempoyak? LOVE tempoyak. hehe
i know it when i see a good malays stall selling good malay dishes. malay food can be really good, much better than nasi lemaks. too bad, cant hv liquer/beer/stout with nasi melayu...juz dont know, it juz does nto go with it. too bad so sad, but a dose of sambal belacan is good....plus a simple diarhoe(right spelling?...screw vocabs) lol.
Aiyo...i've been craving for malay food too~ i need some spices~
