Asam Pedas Mak Ngah Parit Jawa - Muar

There is an angry debate about the state has the best Gulai ikan Asam Pedas (Sour Spicy Fish Curry); Melaka or Johor. It is somewhat unfair to compare the two because it is a comparison between green and red grapes. In any case, in this restaurant came in a place known for asam pedas and ordered the Ikan Merah (Red Fish Grouper) asam pedas. The fish is fresh and firm with the engraving more towards Sauer than his Melaka cousin. The engraving is also a bit more watery. I personally prefer the Melaka variety as it has more body and depth, but again it is personal preference. Now I have to describe the ‘Lokan’, which is a local shell I never had anywhere else. The freshness is reflected in the pronounced taste of the sea in the Lokan itself. The size... it's almost insanely big that it's more on the side of the chewing. But what makes it unique is it water ‘bags’ that burst open when biting in them and releasing the fresh sea taste. Overall, pleasant food (if you are not a hygiene freak) in picturesque surroundings. Fresh seafood is guaranteed. And at RM48 for everything, it's a literal steal.

Great spicy asam pedas and seafood dishes. Must visit for asam pedas lovers

The first place I wanted to go to was closed so I dropped by here, a place not yet on Maps. While the fish was fresh (to be expected from a shop that's next to a fishermen jetty), the asam pedas itself is quite average.

Reasonably price. Friendly operator. Limited choices but the main dish are all there. Asam fish, vege and friend egg

My first and last visit. Service was chaotic. You came in first, you got your meal later than those who came after you. Waited so long for our fish only to be told that is was not available. Taste.....nothing to shout. I've tasted better asam pedas than theirs.
