sunset over straits of malacca |
However, the journey took more than an hour, due to the traffic at Meru town, then Kapar town and when we reach Jeram (in Selangor), this place is not exactly located near the roadside, but we have to drive-through narrow road once we turn into the directed way as per signboard and what seems a very 'creepy'country road to me, with tall shrubs on its immediate road shoulder ( if i were to go alone, i would rather go home and cook myself my own ikan bakar!)
OMG, the place was packed!! surprised!! surprised!! People really go this far to seek for 'good food'?? Anyway, we found out that the food served didnt really meet our taste-bud standard, I mean the 'sweet& sour fish' was only a fried fish (which they actually used the recycled oil to fry it - it taste bad) and sloppyly cover with plain plum sauce with no usual granish of onions, pineapple, or coriander leaves!! ouww, c'mon, even a 'weekend chef' like myself can do better than that!! and the fried calamari was overwhelm with white pepper.. on overall, we really feel it's a 'waste of time'! but that's an experience.. and now I cant wait to go to Umbai-Melaka in couple of weekends for another seafood trip..
p.s. I have snapped some photos, will upload it once I found time to do it ;)
