Hi, after almost 7 years of blogging, Tam Ciak Po is finally moving into new home, it's very own domain at Eatophilia.com.

We're still moving and some 'paint work' and 'unpacking' still going on, so please forgive the mess. Promise it will be good soon.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned for my new posts.

One big amazing thing about Batu Pahat is, everyone in food line don't seem to care for earning more money anymore. Eateries are now closed by 9 pm and like KL area, there's now a gap time between serving lunch and dinner. When we got back BP last weekend, we couldn't find something to eat, at 2 pm! We had to go to a restaurant that we will only go at night for dinner. Anyhow, there's no complaint as it serves one of my favourite Patong-styled Asam Fish in Batu Pahat.

Patong is more known amongst chinese when it's actually Parit Jawa in Malay. It is a small town in Muar district known for seafood and the most famous dish is, without a doubt, the Asam Fish. The dish is very different from the other Asam Fish served in Klang Valley. It emphasize on the sourish taste rather than the spiciness or sambal. One can easily finished up two servings of rice with this appetising dish.

Another dish that we should not missed (in my humble opinion) is the Sambal Petai With Prawn and Sotong. We get the best of three worlds by ordering this, although we can cater for it to be petai with prawns only, prawns with sotong only etc. No worries, the restaurant owner is more than happy to modify the dish according to your needs.

As it was lunch, we ordered for only two dishes and the bill summed up to RM27. That's how cheap eating in Batu Pahat is.

Disappointing Crab Buffet @ Gobo Chit Chat

It is our birthday month again but mine arrived first. CS asked me to pick a good buffet and he’ll give me a treat as long as there are crabs. I found Gobo Chit Chat that has a seafood buffet that everyone, practically everyone on the blogosphere raves about. We were busy on weekend but fret not, as there is a Monday buffet – The Crab Buffet. There will be cooked to order claypot crab which is also featured in the Seafood Buffet.
