Seafood at Restoran Bukit Tambun, Ipoh

First of all Restoran Bukit Tambun is not located in Bukit Tambun. It is actually located somewhere past the Perak Cave in Ipoh in an area called Jalan Kuala Kangsar. My Ipoh friend brought us here because his family loves the Fish Head Curry they serve and I have to admit that it's pretty good. I did a search for this restaurant in Google and in an Ipoh forum someone mentioned that this place was famous for being expensive. Well it cost us only about RM90 for the whole thing (and for 8 people) so by KL standards it's anything but :)


The Fish Head Curry. Actually it's more Asam than Curry but no one calls this dish Fish Head Asam. Very generous servings of fish head meat and lots of vegetables. The asam soup was most excellent too.


Deep fried mantis prawns with ginger and spring onions. I thought it was pretty good but mantis prawns are better made in other styles, e.g. buttered or kung pao style.


Unusual steamed lalas with ginger. I've never had these kind of lala before. They are huge compared to the common variety. I liked the heavy taste of Chinese wine they used.


Yau Mak with Foo Yue. Yau Mak is a little bit like lettuce while Foo Yue is fermented bean curd. Nothing great about this dish.

It was lunch time and the restaurant wasn't all that full but we saw that many tables ordered crabs. Might be worth checking out. I managed to get their address so here it is (can't give you directions thought):

Restoran Bukit Tambun,
28-30, Laluan Tawas Damai,
Anjang Tawas Damai,
Jalan Kuala Kangsar,
30010 Ipoh, Perak.

Tel: 605-2918868
