Many Kuantan folks have
recommended this place to me & I finally made the time to try out the food
at Tanjung. It was drizzling as I walked in and I noticed that the entire place
(I’ll tell you why I use this word instead of restaurant!) was empty except for
the waiters and waitresses.
I looked around just to make
doubly sure that I had not got the wrong place. I saw what resembled parts of a
boat! And that was not the end of the ‘surprises’! I even believe I saw engine oil bottles….argh! the place
certainly looked unkempt to me. Frankly the disheveled appearance put me off
and as we were deciding whether to go next door, the waitress smiled at us and
politely asked us which table we would like. There were hardly any tables there
– less than 10 I would say, and most of them were filled – a huge table which
can sit 10 people was filled with pineapples, another was covered with
vegetables………
We chose a table for 8. And
started ordering food:-
This is stir fried spinach
with garlic. A very ‘safe’ dish to order – if you now what I mean as it does
not take much culinary skills to get this dish right.
Mutton curry – tender , rich
in flavour and mouth watering, this dish was of course my favourite.
Butter prawns – I love the
crispiness of the prawn shells so much that I actually ate some of them. The
curry leaves used added an irreplaceable fragrance to this dish whilst the cili
padi used added flavour to this already wonderful dish.
Pork ribs in Marmite- although
the ribs were slightly tough, the well marinated ribs were heavenly.
Steamed fish – steamed with
ginger and garnished with some spring onions and parsley, the freshness of the
fish was definitely felt as we devoured the fish within seconds!
What surprised me was that
although the building looked big from the outside, there were hardly any tables
available for lunch time customers. Furthermore, I was told that credit cards
are only accepted for dinner. For lunch, payment is strictly on a cash basis
only.
