Kedai Makanan & Minuman Sauk

Went to Sauk again to sample the river delicacies there. This time I did not go to Sun Kong Restaurant but to a place called "Kedai Makanan & Minuman Sauk" (directly translated its called "Eating and Drinking Shop of Sauk"). Supposedly the food there is better then Sun Kong.

More info regarding Sauk can be read here from my previous entree.

The first thing when you get to a restaurant which involve fish or anything that is charged according to weight, is to check the price out. If not you will be eating at your own peril :P

This is one of their speciality dish. Looks like spring chicken right? In Cantonese its called "tin kai". Its basically frog legs which is a local delicacy in this village. I was certainly not disappointed.

Steamed Tengalan

"Tengalan" fish or scientifically called pontius bulu is another local Perak delicacy. Its a very popular local river fish here. This fish is best steamed. Do be careful while eating them since they are notorious with their forked bones.

This is another specialty from the restaurant, "sai tou" fish belly.

Sai Tou Fish Balls

No Chinese meal would be complete without green vegetables


Total bill for the day was RM145.90. Not bad for a meal for 8.

Overall the food is at par with Sun Kong but cost is much more reasonable. Nevertheless, you won't be getting of the really "big" fish that you can get at Sun Kong here. I'll definitely be visiting this place again.
