It captures my imagination. I am still tempting to visit there. Not because of the super delicacy, but something rings in my mind, like PappaRich.
I guess I fit perfectly in their target group.

Ikan Bakar Seri Menanti, Jalan Bellamy KL.
Fong has wanted to take me to his favorite ikan bakar stall months ago but we could not find any opportunity to sneak out during lunch hour. We are too popular in the office as we stuck with the colleagues during lunch all the time.
Not that we do not want to bring them for good food, but some time too many heads and mouths result nothing special.
So, one fine afternoon we two brother quietly drove to Sungai Besi, Jalan Bellamy (just beside Istana Negara) to have the best ikan bakar in... Istana Negara area, at least.
There is one row of stall all selling same thing, ikan bakar (satay kajang mentality), I am not sure which is the best, but seems like all share same quality with equally crowd.
The environment was nothing special and hot. I saw many office workers sat there with tie and sweating like water pouring on them. But they seems enjoy the grilled seafood very much in that condition. Funny as patrons were "grilled" under the zinc roof eating grilled fish.
The food? "Mou Tak Ding". For long I had never have such a good grilled seafood. Those stuffs were very well marinated with special source, finely grilled on hot plate and served together with special prepared chilli sauce. I voiced nothing during the course. My mouth was full of... sotong bakar.
Price? Value for what's inside my wallet.
Picture taken with the guy BBQing fresh marinated seafood. See the smoke? Bet it smells fantastic!
Sotong came from heaven! This is the picture I had in my mind when I saw it.
Err... with such good seafood, even it came with normal rice with vegetables, still make me a memorable trip.

Please do not judge this kembong as dry and hard as it seems. The flesh was terrible fresh. Dipped with the special chili sauce... wow!
Another fine grilled fish!

Terengganu Style Nasi Dagang in USJ
From the place where I came from, our breakfast was usually nasi lemak or nasi dagang. Sometimes just some kuih-muih or chinese style chee cheong fan, kari mee, etc. I had used to this kind of foods.
When I first came to KL, I could not find my nasi dagang at all. Stalls at road side are all selling Malay kuih, nasi lemak, fried noodle or beehun.
One day when I traveled to Penang, my friend told me that he will buy nasi dagang for me for dinner, I was so excited that I finally found this delicacy at some other place. Unfortunately, their nasi dagang is "REALLY" nasi dagang. White rice with all the dishes, mamak style.
Finally one day I met with a friend from Terengganu and stayed in KL for years. He told me that there is one stall in USJ section 15, which sell this traditional food for breakfast. As it is rare in the area, normally it will finish its stock before 10am.
Yesterday morning as I woke up too early, I decided to go there to have it to fulfill my dream. I still could not figure out how the makcik cook the rice. It taste like "pulut" but looks like normal white rice. The rice is rigid enough to be separated. I found some ginger and spices in there. Nasi Dagang always serve with "kari ikan". And you can only use one particular type of fish. My mum said the fish call "blooded fish". Its big and the body round in shape. Taste abit like sardine or tuna. With quite a lot of bones but the bones are large enough to be separated when you eat the fish. The fish cooked in sour kari with fresh chili and santan.
So, friends from the West Coast, if you would like to try this "original recipe" of nasi dagang, East Coast style, go get it in USJ Section 15!

The Best Goreng Pisang in Town
I had tried many times. Whenever I bought this goreng pisang to my friends, the first feedback was always:" Yayaya... goreng pisang, normal laaa...."
Then, when they saw the fried bananas they would said:"looks so small, what type of pisang is that? Wow! Why you bought so much? How could I finish it? You better eat more..."
And then, after the first piece, they took the second one, and the third and forth and...
After finishing all, comments came:" I think its the flour the matter."
"It may because of the type of banana they use. Looks so small. Mnn.... must be the banana."
"How can it be so crispy ha?"
So, this is Azmi Goreng Pisang in Shah Alam. A stall selling goreng pisang near the commuter station (section 15) in Shah Alam.
As you can see, they are frying the banana by using 8 big wok. I never seen people selling fried banana like that. And usually you have to wait and long queue.
Normally people buy RM5 or RM10, RM20 of fried banana. Wonder why they bought so much? For 20, 30 packs? For you info, RM1, you will get more than 10 pcs. And I dun know if its my problem or else, I could eat RM2 of Azmi Goreng Pisang alone.
