    Planted in One Precinct Bayan Baru, Assam Pedas Premier is the place to be if you’re looking to charm your taste buds with authentic bowls of assam pedas. Sidestepping from usual humble-looking joints, one can expect a warm and cosy atmosphere. Prices do vary according to the selection of fish – stingray, mackerel and kembong line up as contenders, and it would be wise to opt for set meals which include salted egg, spicy sambal belacan and ulam. The combination of flavours downright delivers in each spoonful, thus you’ll be surprised, in a blink of an eye the bowl is polished clean. If you need another reason to visit, their nasi lemak ayam berempah is another showstopper.

    Hopping over to mainland, to a restaurant that presents an exhibition of mouth-watering delights each and every day. De Pauh Garden Restaurant is easily identified with huge red awnings and white-washed alfresco dining space. Once you've stepped in, pan your sight from left to right, scanning all the mind-boggling array of food that amps up your hunger, and if assam pedas is your jam, you’re in for a treat too. Served steaming in a claypot, a hotchpotch of fish fillets, tomatoes and okras tie together to deliver mouth-watering flavours. It’s good to go with a mound of white rice but other sides like fried chicken, mixed vegetables and salted eggs vie for equal attention. 

    Tips

    Get in early if you're planning to nab a spot in the alfresco
