Just realized that today is the last day of February. Another long-time-ago post ;p It was last September trip.
Before heading back to the airport to go back to Kuching, we went to Broga for the famous grilled bamboo fish at Restoran He Ping (Lot4903a, Jalan Tanah Pinggir, 71750, Broga, N. Sembilan). We went there the day before but it was closed but lucky that we met the owner and asked him about the opening hour so that we can go back to eat the next day before heading back home.
I don’t have any idea of all the food pricing, it’s too long ago. However, it was reasonably priced. I wasn’t the one paying too. Anyway, the fish reminded me of ayam pansuh (chicken cooked in bamboo). We had to wait 45 minutes for the fish to cook hence you are required to wait if you want to eat this fish. We went there early, so not many people. You will have to wait quite long if there’s lots of diners.
Highly recommended. It’s fresh and there’s no fishy taste too. The aroma of the bamboo sure is giving the dish the special taste. I don’t know how to explain, you just have to try it for yourself.
Left: Ladies fingers with garlic.
Right: Herbal chicken.
Both the vegetable and the chicken were not cooked the normal way, they were cooked in aluminium foil on charcoal if not mistaken. No stir fried , no pots and pans. Very unique. In fact, you can opt for your fish to be cook this way too if you don’t want to wait, shorter time required.
That’s all for now. Hopefully I have something new to update soon. Goodness… So pathetic. Working full-time is really no fun… Sigh… Trying to love it. I’m feeling like as if I’ve not been sleeping for weeks -.-” Really got no mood for anything after work, just want to laze in front of the computer, watch drama series or just shut myself out from the outside world. Damn… Facing so many people everyday is a challenge for an introvert ;p Agree? Only the introverts will know how it feels.
Hello Irene, can see you love eating, or live to eat. I eat to live.
You now in Kuching? I guess the place has changed a lot since my last visit there, wayyyyy back early ’80s.
But love the seafood there, and the pasar malams.
Hey, next day try take pics of the pasar malam there post here. Love to see the place.
Have a great week, Irene, keep a song in your heart.
Lee.
Lee, now… I would say I eat to live being in this new field I am now. *LOL*
Yes, I’m not based in Kuching. Back for more than a year, to be exact 1 year 2 days. I assume you meant the Sunday market. It’s no longer in the old place, it had moved to Kubah Ria, after the hanging bridge. The bridge is also gone too.
Foods at HE PING Restaurant that you mentioned is very bad in terms of quality and not worth for money..
Jacinta Cheng, oh really? I guess it was by luck. For me, it was Ok that time.
I visited the restaurant with my family this raya holiday to broga hill and stop over nearby restaurant. Is very not worth to eat there the food were badly prepared and very small portion for 9 person to shared. We order 3 different type of fish dishes 1 chicken and 2 veggie which cost us RM220++. very expensive dishes. Not worth a penny spend.
Hi Kelvin, wow… It’s totally different from our experience. I guess it’s been years. Now things are getting expensive and portion are being reduced.
