The Best In Rawang

Whenever my friends know that I am staying in Rawang, their first comment is whether I knew the restaurant famous for its steamed talipia fish. Most of them know the restaurant Lan Je because it have been around for as long as I can remember. This restaurant in so famous that the only dish worth ordering is Steamed Talipia and nothing else.

Since I am from Rawang, I think I should reccommend another restaurant that have at least 18 ways of cooking Talipia fishes. I have tasted several ways of how this Talipia have been cook and I would like to reccommend three types of these cooking.

1) Chin Fong Talipia.( Top Left)

The talipia are fried and steamed before serving wrap in alumminium foil. The wraping seal up the juice and contained the aroma of the curry leaves during the steaming process.

The fish is crispy at the surface yet juicy when you bite into it. It is both appetizing as well as spicy to the taste. A definite to hit with spicy food lover.

2) Kwai Mei Talipia.( Centre )

Literally translated as "Unique Flavor Talipia". It is indeed unique because the fish is marinated in orange juice and fried with curry leaves. It is a favourite with both children and adult alike. The uniqueness is that on one hand you like the smell emitted by the curry leaves and on the other, the savoury taste of orange.

4) Kwai Fei Poh Pin Talipia.

For thos who do not like fried fishes, they have steamed talipia with sliced abalone. Normally, steamed talipia are associated with muddy smell. The way the fish is steamed have removed all the mud smell and with the slices of abalone you would think twice about labelling talipia fish and a lowly fish.

The smoothness of the fish plus the spring texture of the abalone, you cannot imagine the fish is talipia. Most would think the fish to be a Napolean Wrasse fish but not at that price.

Direction:

To get to this restaurant, you need to turn toward the left after exiting the Rawang interchange toward Batang Berjuntai / Batu Arang. It is approximately 3 km from the toll, on the right side of the road directly before the Shell Station. You should see the restaurant before you reach the traffic junction to Bandar Country Homes.

Other Dishes:

There are other dishes to choose from among my favourite is the Shanghai Spicy Chicken ( Top Right Picture). his special dishes are concoction of the restaurant owner. The chickens slices are fried with four types of chillies and add with a tinge of salted fish. When eaten hot, you would enjoy gulping them with plateful of rice.

Price:

The Prices are reasonable. The prices of talipia dishes are from RM 18 to RM 30 depending on the size of the fishes and the style of cooking. It is a good place for family dining as you would have nice food without a dent in your pocket.
