The Umbai Sotong Goreng Tepung Binge
Umbai, the quaint fishing village serving Malay style fresh seafood next to the sea. Around 25 minutes drive from Malacca town, this place is known for their “medan ikan bakar”, a group of different stalls serving grilled fish.
This place opens after 5.30pm, so don’t come too early or you will have to wait for them to set up their stalls.
We chose this stall, partly because of the view, and mostly because of the food, which by far seems to attract the most customers.
The modus operandi is quite simple- You pick your seafood and the way you want them to be cooked in.
They cook and serve you. Seafood aside, stir fried vegetables are also available.
J and I went there for one purpose. Deepfried squid in batter, or in Malay, sotong goreng tepung! Between the both of us, we had 1 whole kilogram (kg) of sotongs. So, that means 500g all for myself. The crunchy batter, the springy sotong, and the dipping sauce, OMG, the combination is divine!
They serve their dishes along with nasi lemak. Flavourful and heavy with the smell of coconut milk, it is a must have.
Their dipping sauce was simply good for the seafood, especially then cincaluk and chilli sauce.
We saw a rainbow on the way back! Nice, isn’t it?
