On our way back to KL from Melaka last few weeks, Khalis and I stopped for lunch in Seremban with the in laws. We went to this famous restaurant in Seremban, Restoren Nelayan. They served authentic Nogori food and had gulai tempoyak. The highlight of the day was ikan kerai which I unfortunately couldnt try because of the tempoyak. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed my terubuk bakar..So much that I finished sepinggan nasik.

You see, terubuk bakar is very special to me. Its something that my dad loved to make on Fridays. I'm not sure if he still does. There are not that many ppl at home nowadays.

That time in Seremban was the first time in my whole life that I had terubuk bakar prepared by someone else other than my dad. There are two dishes that my dad could prepare better than anyone else. First would be ikan singgang and second would be terubuk bakar. He used to make ikan singgang a lot when I was small and not so much when I was in my teenage years. Nowadays I guess he doesnt cook at all. My dad's ikan singgang's not too sour and a lot sweeter than average. Same goes for terubuk bakar - his is sweeter.
