Ah..finally it's my first off day again..and I'm preparing myself to sleep late and enjoy all the free time I had even if sometimes it means gotta sacrifice my sleep...hehe..time really flies so fast that even 3 days of off days, doesnt seem enough at all!! Sigh..I wanted to catch the movie "BeoWolf" since I saw the review and looks really not bad at all...it's been almost 2 weeks since the movie opening and believe it or not, it's still fully booked everywhere! Damn. I cant believe it. And it's not so convenient these days to go online whenever and where ever I wanted to do my booking unlike last time..and I'm counting for my bf to book it. And he...as usual screw it up..the last minute thingy always make you a loser by the end of the day...so that's it..I ended up missing the movie tonight..I was really making such a Hoo-Haa because of this, but nevertheless we will watch it this Friday..Thank God..:P So, we stopped by this place to eat since it's really been a long long time since I stepped foot here..and miss their big platter of dory fish...hehehe...
One thing Im fascinated about is the place and environment itself..look at the design and photo frames hang up the wall , it says every single thing about fishes..anything which is related to fish. I bet the owner has really came up with such innovative and creative ideas to mantain the design throughout all branches and make it a distinctive restaurant being the first of it's own..no copycats unlike what you notice in some certain restaurants.
Actually we wanted to order something individual , but then I was so tempted to order the big meal platter for 2-3 person which costed RM 50 bucks and they have a mixture of cuttlefish, prawns, fish and mushrooms..but little did I know all of it is fried stuffs...I wanted just fish platter alone, but then again it seems a little bit boring to have one type isnt it? hahaha..greedy me..but eventually it turns out I prefer grilled cooking than fried...every single thing like the prawns, fish were really fresh . The tender meat at first bite with the fragrance from fried crispy flour, just simply delicious.. lucky for me that I noticed the pan surface wasnt oily at all...that's a good thing to know. :D He loves the mushrooms so much..it's kinda special since it's a huge mushrooms where they take it to fry..imagine having to taste fried mushrooms...it's not something which you will eat it everyday..right? I let him take almost all the baked butter rice since he was craving to eat rice ( rice king)..haha. Overall, though apart from those stuffs being fried and a little bit dry , it's worth the price since the huge gigantrous portion can actually cater for 3 person instead of two! We really have problem finishing the plate clean as I was stuffed up till I cant bearly move my tummy initially..haha. We left the big thick fries untouched - no choice..too bad it's a waste I know but hey not too bad since we didnt throw away any fishes and prawns ..LOL :D
My advise is, if you ever call this, only do so if you are coming in big groups. Then there is more variety and freedom to choose and call. This place definitely wont be my last since it's considered one of my favourites especially when it comes to fine fish meals..:) Total bill amount came up to RM 62 inclusive govt and service charges. I ordered their Mint tea by the way at RM 5.
