Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Tiga, Puchong

It was after a Sunday morning leisure ride at Putrajaya, a friend recommended this restaurant for a fish head delicacy and off we went to this place without any difficulty of course with the aid of waze apps. We were early and the first customers of the day. The front of the shop has a big aquarium with a variety of live fishes to choose.

Curry fish head is one of the two signature dishes in this shop served under a burner and its taste was awesome, the curry flavour is strong and creamy. I love it.

Next came the deep fried cubes of Tofu, nothing great just a typical tofu dish.

Stir fried Tau Mui (sweet pea sprouts) with shimeji mushrooms was interesting and delicious. I enjoyed the bite of the texture of the mushrooms together with the tau miu. 

Steamed salted kampong chicken was good too, the gravy was tempting, tasty but rather salty hence not too much of this soup.

A big stainless steel wok on a portable burner with a big black tilapia fish and lala clams, topped with chopped garlic and spring onions. The taste was superb and an empty small bowl provided for you to enjoy the soup. This signature dish is selling well, you can opt to add on squid and prawns in it.

Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Tiga has three more shop lots annexed to it and you can imagine how good is their business. A place highly recommended if you love to eat fish. It is located somewhere near Hero Supermarket slightly off the old Puchong road. Have a good food hunt.

And lastly a complimentary soothing jelly.

Empurau Treat @ 旺星(六福)酒家 Pandan Lake Seafood Village

Thanks to Teow Oei for inviting me for this fish tasting session and I was glad to meet James Wong the master of all these fishes. With us is my buddy Joe aka Jotaro Zen

This Empurau fish costs more than ten thousand Ringgit and it from Sibu Sarawak.

James breeds many type of fishes, his tilapia are as heavy as 4 kg and definitely big for a tilapia fish. As for this food tasting he prepared a salt baked dish.

Together with us is a group of friends from a Chinese media.

The skin was carefully removed by James and was then ready for the tasting. I like it. It was fresh sweet and juicy in the inside. Good leh!

James took me to his kitchen and showed me the fishes that we will be eating later. He asked me the smell the emparau fish, a bit shock and out of courtesy I smelled it and surprisingly it had a good aroma....

There were two type of catfishes that we will be eating one of them from Laos and another a local bred.

James discussing with his chef as how he wanted the fishes to be prepared....

The highlight of the evening, the Empurau fish merely steamed with a slight doses of salt and nothing more, incredibly tasty.  It had a sweet creamy taste, I like it.

The scale is so soft that it is eatable.

The two different type of catfishes on the table, Loas versus Malaysian.

My tummy was already full and yet James took out a plastic bag of fresh oysters from China and he going to served again..

Braised fresh and raw fish maw. The taste was absolutely different from the dried type, it was very creamy and sticky...ready stick to your mouth. I think one requires a period of time to acquire such taste especially for the first time.

Here comes the oysters from China served on a hot plate still big and succulent.

The other half portion was prepared in deep fried version which was supposed to pair with our beer.

I have never eaten so much fishes in one meal and these were expensive particularly empurau. Thanks to James & Oei for their kind invitation and it was a memorable meal for me.

Soon this restaurant will be shifting to a new place as the present one has been sold for a development.
