4/5 Boon Loong L. 3 years ago on Google
Segenting
is
said
to
be
the
oldest
Chinese
settlement
in
Batu
Pahat.
The
early
Chinese
coming
from
China
arrived
in
the
coastal
area
of
this
town
and
chose
to
settled
in
this
village
before
moving
out
to
the
city
centre
gradually.
Driving
through
the
narrow
road
leading
into
the
new
village,
I
took
my
time
to
look
at
the
kampung
life
as
I
grew
up
in
kampung
as
well.
We
had
to
park
our
cars
in
any
available
spots,
and
then
walk
a
short
distance
to
reach
this
popular
seafood
restaurant
that
is
extended
out
to
the
sea.
My
customer
is
already
a
regular
here
by
the
time
we
joined
in
the
project,
and
it
was
his
treat
all
the
time.
This
post
is
a
culmination
of
my
several
trips
down
to
Batu
Pahat
which
explains
the
numerous
dishes
described
below.
◾fresh
and
huge
sea
fish..
we
had
a
pomfret
(dau
dai
chong)
so
big
that
it
fits
for
a
wedding
bouquet,
something
that
is
not
easily
available
here.
Also
one
fish
that
it
looks
like
coming
straight
out
of
Alien
movie
(look
at
its
head).
◾Chilly
crabs
that
any
discerning
foodie
will
approve.
Fresh
mud
crab
equivalent
to
XXL
size
drenched
in
the
spicy
and
eggy
chilly
sauce,
complete
with
deep
fried
manitou
for
dipping
purpose.
We
had
to
ask
the
cook
to
cut
down
on
the
generous
chilly
(too
spicy!)
◾Kam
heong
lala
(clams)
-
again
too
generous
on
the
bird
eye
chilly
making
the
dish
too
hot
for
some.
However,
no
complaints
on
the
plump
and
juicy
clams.
◾Kung
bou
dishes
-
we
had
both
squid
and
mantis
shrimp
and
loved
both
to
the
max!
◾Prawns
-
first
we
had
it
steamed
with
Chinese
wine
and
egg
white
and
it's
original
taste
shone!
On
our
subsequent
visits,
we
had
deep
fried
versions
and
although
good,
I
still
prefer
steaming.
◾Claypot
pork
belly
with
salted
fish
-
lacked
the
fragrant
of
salted
fish
but
generally
tasty.
◾Steamed
whole
kampung
chicken
-
loved
the
herbal
soups
but
the
kampung
chicken
meat
was
tougher
(which
was
normal
if
you
compared
to
regular
chicken)
◾Sweet
and
sour
fish
fillet
-
while
the
fish
meat
was
firm
and
flaky,
the
sauce
somehow
lacked
the
oomph.
◾Cantonese
style
fried
noodle
and
kuey
teow!
The
noodles
definitely
got
the
essential
wok
hei,
covered
in
the
eggy
gravy
and
topped
with
fresh
little
prawns
and
other
seafoods.
◾Fish
slice
porridge...
This
was
clearly
the
favourite
among
all
of
us.
Perfect
comfort
food
with
the
flavourful
soup
◾Oyster
omelette
-
lack
in
amount
but
the
oysters
were
fresh
nonetheless.
◾Taufu
and
vegetable
dishes
are
essential
in
almost
every
meal.
Prices
of
the
seafood
here
are
generally
cheaper
than
eating
in
town
area,
and
you
will
have
to
drive
about
20-30
minutes
to
reach
Segenting
from
the
town
centre.
For
me,
the
company
coupled
with
the
awesome
wines
and
other
types
of
liquors
such
as
gins
and
whiskies
definitely
got
everyone
happy.
