A Good Malay Feast: Kedai Makan Rahmat

Date: Mar 29, 2015

Yesterday, we went into Malaysia to visit my father’s grave. My dad passed away 26 years ago on Mar 23. It is before Qing-Ming, therefore, we always came in to pay respect during this time.

The grave is around Kong Kong, which is close by Pasir Gudang, So, we decided to search on Google places to eat after paying respect.

And we found this place. Apparently a famous Malay restaurant by the seaside.

Wow! The restaurant only sell afternoon meals. And close on Friday.

The restaurant is just like those you find in Batam or Bintan. But this restaurant sell Malay food.

The restaurant is full of people. People who is hungry just like us.

The restaurant is just beside a fishing village. This is where they supply all their sea food I suppose.

Let’s check out what food they serve here...

This is ikan Siakap.

This fish is on EVERY SINGLE table.

They slow fry the fish into very crispy.

Inside and under the crispy skin is very delicious meaty fish.

Every table also have this fry prawns. Very nice and fresh prawns.

The prawns go very well with this sauce. Some kind of soya sauce with a bit of Onions, and lime, and chilli in it.

The fish taste great with this home made sambal.

This Tempeh is REALLY GOOD. It sort of taste like banana, a bit sweet a nice. Especially mix with the samba chilli. This is actually fermented soybeans.

The beef rendang is very tasty too.

The chilli ayam (chicken) sauce is nice.

Fried kampung chicken.

We never meant to be here, but here we are, and it is the only restaurant around where we are, deep inside a Malay fishing kampung. So, let’s enjoy ourselves.
