Steam Sea Perch with Wuntun Noodle

Steam Sea Perch with Wuntun Noodle

We have had dined on this particular cuisine in a small town restaurant in Malaysia. In fact, we had the steam tilapia wuntun noodle cuisine in a Chinese restaurant in the village town of Rawang several years ago. It was curiosity that led us to this particular restaurant. Every time that we pass-through this town, we noticed a sign that advertise this special cuisine. So, one day we decided to dine there and by following the sign, it led us even deeper into the Chinese village until the residence turn coffee shop type restaurant.

A Specialty Noodle Cuisine

And to our surprise, the restaurant was full. There were at least thirty tables and each was occupied with diners, mostly families. Seems like that restaurant was indeed famous for their steam tilapia with wuntun noodles. It was a rather simple dish. Steam fish with lots of ginger, sesame seed oil, oyster flavoured sauce, and sprinkle of spring onions. Added onto the dish is two servings of wuntun noodles. We actually went back to the restaurant several more times with family and friends.

Steam Fish Noodle Cuisine

And in our continued quest for authentic and unique cuisines, we found the similar cuisine being served in other Chinese restaurants in small Chinese villages in Selangor. So, yesterday I decided that I wanted to cook this noodle cuisine. I cook with a sea perch as that was the suitable choice of fish I have in the freezer. Sea perch and tilapia have the same texture, soft and lumpy when cooked. I prefer sea perch over tilapia because the sea perch does not have that strong fish smell.
