Reunion Celebration Dinner At Rawang Famous Steamed Fish, Ipoh

Last week, we had a reunion celebration dinner for a friend who seldom gets to visit us. There were altogether 10 people in our group. Out of the whole group only hubby and I have tasted the food at Rawang Famous Steam Fish.

We have earlier planned to go with the rest of the group but somehow the plan was put on hold. So with the visit of this special friend from another state, we were finally able to gather as a group to enjoy a delightful dinner at this restaurant.

It was a weekend and every table was taken by customers. Fortunately, some from our group reached there earlier and managed to secure a big table for us and ordered the food as well.

The restaurant also sells this Bentong ginger.

I think it was RM24 per kilo if I remembered correctly.

My friend bought this bag of ginger.

She drinks ginger tea for its health benefits.

Gentle words cause life and health;

griping brings discouragement.

Rawang Famous Steam Fish In Ipoh

We have noticed this eatery many times when travelling to and from Gopeng. And many times especially during dinner time, we noticed the place is usually packed with customers. We have been talking and wanting to try the food here with our foodie friends but nothing happened.

It finally happened and 5 of us were able to meet up at this Restoran Rawang Famous Steam Fish one fine evening.

The restaurant is on the same row as the Symphony Suites.

It is a corner shop next to the RM2 shop.

 There is plenty of parking space.

It was a weekday and not very crowded.

 The place is spacious and comfortable.

 The drinks corner at the back and the menu on the wall.

 The payment counter on the left and the kitchen behind the screen.

 A giganti rhizomes of Bentong ginger on display.

I am not sure whether it is for sale or not because picture captured by hubby.

 While waiting for our dinner, we enjoyed a friend's special tea.

  The first dish to arrive at our table - Deep fried fragrant salted chicken.

Signature dish of the restaurant - Steamed Tilapia with Bentong ginger.

 We ordered 2 fishes for 5 people @ RM22 for a bigger fish.

The smaller fishes sold out.

 Stir fried mix veggie of lotus root, celery, baby corn, mushroom, green peas, gingko seeds and white fungus.

 And our favourite - Sambal Petai which truly deserves our praise.

A big thank you to our friend who treated us this yummy & hearty dinner.

Planning to return soon with another group of foodie friends.

He isn't really being slow about His promised return,

even though it sometimes seems that way.

But He is waiting,

for the good reason that He is not willing that any should perish,

and He is giving more time for sinners to repent.

(2 Peter 3:9, TLB)
