Deep fried Baby chic and Fishy Steamboat Over the Sea

Let's cross over the sea and take a look what's worth while...


9-Feb ~ Deep fried Baby chic and steamed fish head was some of the signature dish of Ong Cheng Huat. Located at Bagan Lalang there, this place was significantly famous for its fresh foodies.

It was indeed an isolated place where you will need great attention to get there.


We arrived there around 1140am and the place was already packed with customer from afar and near. They were not only famous for its’ fresh food, and also they self made coconut flower alcoholic drink. You can called this coconut wine if you want to… *grin*In this place, we were served Leng Teh as the drink. Leng Teh was the drink made of Chinese herbs that have a cooling effect. Boiled with brown sugar to double the effect. The 1st dish to come was this steamed octopus and garnished with some garlic oil. It was so fresh that you could eat at its own. Dipped with some chili sauce garnished with crushed peanuts. Next to come was the steamed clams a.k.a Lala, what we called locally. These Lalas, were steamed with generous serving of ginger and crushed garlic. The garlic and the ginger itself can really enhance the freshness of the clams.Then was this crunchy serving of fried popia. The fried popia over here are different with those we taken anywhere. Instead of deep fried the rolled up popia, these popia was made of a few layer of well stack of ingredients such as chunks of prawns and chopped meat.Next, we have this Kerabu Cucumber. This dish was made of shredded of cucumber, onion, dried prawns and some crispy cashew nuts and top with the some sweet and spicy sauce.
Served as good as the entrĂ©e.And here comes the most talk about dish, deep fried Baby Chic. This premature chicken was marinated well and deep fried for better. And you just can’t help to lick your finger till the end.
Wohoo….. Take a good look at the little drumstick.Then was this steamed fish head with lots of crushed garlic and slices of ginger. The fish was so tender yet so fresh and you just can’t help to slurp up the sauce itself. 2 thumbs up!! Another signature of this place was their fried noodles and Bihun. Yum Yum!!Take a good look at the dishes on the table served for 9 pax.As a dessert, we ordered this Deep Fried Ice cream. Assorted flavors of ice cream were put into this batter mould and deep fried. You can taste the crunchiness on the outer layer while on the inside; you can taste the coolness within. As a whole, this place served fresh food and nice tuak!! Pamper yourself with the bites of the deep fried baby chic and nourish yourself with this steamed fish head.
You can never said NO for that!!

When night falls, we rushed to this Zi Wei Yuan steam boat at nearby Raja Uda. Zi Wei Yuan was famous for its fish steamboat. One thing I found similarity when dining in Butterworth. They will normally served Leng Teh as drink for guest. Thanks to the cooling effect I guess!! Over here we were served Barley drinks.

Each of us were given this special home made sauce. It was a mixture of soy sauce, crushed garlic, cili padi and some vinegar. A perfect match with those piping hot ingredients from the pot!! Here comes the our yum yum fish pot. Inside the pot, there’s already some fish soup together with others ingredients like the seaweed, ‘fu chuk’ (made of soy) as well as chunks of deep fried fish cake. They used the charcoal to heat up the soup for better taste. And the taste…. Love it!!Besides the fish pot, there’s other side dish that you add up as well. Over here, we ordered some leafy vege, pork kidney, magi noodles, extras ‘fu chuk’, some fish balls and some mushroom.
Look at the bowl of goodies!! Aren’t you drooling right now??And this little fellow was one of my favorite pal as well. It was called the Bamboo shoots. It was crunchy but indeed it absorb the goodness of the soup easily.
Yumyum!! As a whole, if you happen to drop by at Raja Uda, do drop by to relish this goodness of the fish pot then!!
