Steam Fish : KL, Salak South Baru

This place is near Ti-Ratana charity home in Salak South Baru, KL. I first went there in 2007, and it was introduced by my supplier. For the direction, refer to the maps below. Briefly, if you are on KL-Seremban Highway south bound, turn left into Desa Petaling, and head to the right side of Desa Petaling.



Rarely I hear people serve steam fish during lunch, especially in a normal kopitiam. This kopitiam's main dish is steam fish head, and only someone who's familiar with fishes know what type of fish they are serving. The kopitiam itself is not very visible from the road, so you need to spot the tables and umbrella by the kerb.

The 2nd time I went there, I had the head portion, and it was simply flavored using soy sauce and garnished with coriander leaves and ginger slice. The plate served to us was roughly 1 foot long. So you can imagine how big was the fish, and that was only the head portion. We also ordered side dishes, consisting of bean sprout with salty fish, and choy sum. The total price came to RM31.

How it fared? 5/5 stars for the fresh fish, the big portion and the price.
