Took an old collegemate who is down from Penang for work. She wanted to eat some of the local dishes so decided to take her to Mukah Seafood, Ban Hock Road.
We started off with some appetizers, namely keropok a.k.a. prawn crackers. These were made in Mukah and was actually quite tasty. Not too much flour in it.
We also ordered some midin but as there was already another post up, I decided not to take a picture. You can view the postings here of the cooked and uncooked version.
This is a Melanau dish called umai made from raw fish. The waitress didn’t know what was the name of the fish in English but it’s called ikan bulan (moon fish) in Malay. The fish is cut into slices and mixed with lime juice, blended chillis, purple shallots and some sugar, salt and pepper to taste. On the right hand side of the picture, is a small sauce dish filled with uncooked sago pearls. Yes, it actually looks like that after getting it from the sago tree bark.
This is a yam dish cooked with red snapper and other vegetables. Some yam is blended first to make the soup but pieces of it are cooked with the fish. YH ate quite a lot of this.
