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. Sotong goreng tepung! Between the both of us, we digested 1000g of sotongs. So, that means 500g all for myself. OMG, artery clogging, cholesterol hijacking goodness.

They serve their dishes along with nasi lemak. You are gonna love them despite the artery clogging goodness.

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?
