Nibong Tebal - Seafood Porridge
I would not fail to stop at the above on my way to Penang on each occasion. Nibong Tebal is a small town which is easy for you to locate this small restaurant tucked in the middle section of a row of single storey shop lot.
The other infamous dish, which I don’t really see in KL or PJ, is the boiled squid. I am one who do not fancy squid in most styles cooked, except fried. It is being topped off with some fried garlic and shallot together with its oil to add fragrance to a dish as simple as this. This is being served with a chilly sauce (not spicy at all!) topped with ground peanuts. The squid is crunchy and tasted well with the peanut sauce and chilly.
You can have either plain crab or fish porridge or both. I wonder what they put in the soup, besides the sweetness of the crab that oozes in as well. Flower crab is being used here, thus, it’s easy for you to bite into the shell to take the meat out.
How to locate this place? Take the Nibong Tebal Toll exit via the usual North South Highway
After paying the toll:
- Follow the Nibong Tebal signage (which is the left, and Jawi is to your right).
- Go straight and up the fly-over (looks like a bridge) and keep left.
- As you drives down the fly-over, keep left (there’s a sign to say Nibong Tebal – like a U-turn under the fly-over) and follow the sign – town.
- Just drive straight on and you will pass Maybank on your right.
- Then you approach a row of single storey shop lot on both right and left.
