Restaurant Fishing Village 元魚鄉餐廳, DK Senza, Bandar Sunway

Last weekend, we visited Restaurant Fishing Village 元魚鄉餐廳, a fairly new Chinese Seafood Restaurant in Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya. Located on the first floor of DK Senza, near Taylor’s University, the restaurant is spacious and serves a myriad of delicious Chinese dishes at affordable prices, perfect for a comfortable family meal. This spot is also particularly with the university students as they offer reasonably priced set lunches (RM17.90) daily.

The restaurant specialises in seafood and has various fishes such as sultan fish, catfish, threadfin, tilapia and grouper fish head, as well as tiger prawn, sotong and mantis shrimp.




Here are some of the dishes which we tried during our visit and would highly recommend:

✨ 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜-𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚 𝙏𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙖 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝 (RM48)
Sweet, sour and spicy sauce originating from North (co-owners are from Penang) served on deep fried tilapia fish. Very appetising! This is one of their signature dishes, so do give it a try.




✨ 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙜𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙡𝙠 𝙨𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙜 (RM32 for medium, RM60 for large)
Our must-order dish! And they do it so well here. Definitely one of the best we’ve had! Super crispy batter with fresh squid ❤️




✨ 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙥𝙤𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙝 (RM28 for medium, RM48 for large)
Another one of our favorite dishes whenever we eat out at the Chinese restaurant. Thin slices of pork belly cooked with dried chillies and salted fish. Yum!




✨ 𝙏𝙤𝙛𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙝 (RM18 for small, RM28 for large)
Homemade tofu, simple and nice!

Recipe: Braised Mushrooms and Fish Maw with Abalone

Father’s Day is coming (this Sunday!). Most Asian parents love abalone, fish maw and mushrooms so I figured this would be the perfect dish to spoil them with this weekend.

Braised Mushrooms and Fish Maw with Abalone
Braised Mushrooms and Fish Maw with Abalone



For this dish, I'm using canned South African abalone, and I have to say I'm really impressed by their size. They’re ready to eat, so all you need to do is just heat them through slightly in the braising sauce. As for the fish maw, they’re like sponges and will soak up all the flavours of the delicious braising sauce.

You can get all these ingredients on Great Ocean Dried Seafood, link here: https://bit.ly/greatocean8 (Note: Fried butterfly fish maw currently on Buy 2 Free 1 promo; use code "GREAABAL" to get RM10 off the abalone, promo valid from now until 19 June only)





Braised Mushrooms and Fish Maw with Abalone
Recipe by Baby Sumo
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 can South African Abalone (8 pcs)
1 pcs fried butterfly fish maw
4 large white flower dried mushroom
1/3 broccoli, cut into florets

For the braising sauce
400ml water
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp Haday seasoning wine with ginger & chives
1/2 tsp chicken stock granules
1/2 - 1 tbsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or minced garlic)
A dash of white pepper

For cornstarch slurry
1T cornstarch mixed with 2T cold water

1. Soak fish maw in tap water for 2 hours or until softened. Cut into bite size pieces. Store in fridge until required. (Tip: Place a saucepan cover over the fish maw to fully submerge it in water)

2. Soak mushrooms overnight in fridge, trim off stalks.

3. Bring water to boil in saucepan then add other braising sauce ingredients and mix well.

4. Braise mushrooms for 10 mins, then add fish maw and braise for further 20 mins. Set aside.

5. Blanch broccoli in a pot of salted water for 2-3 mins. Drain and set aside.

6. Place abalone in braising sauce and heat through for a minute.

7. Arrange ingredients on plate. Thicken sauce with cornstarch slurry and then pour over the ingredients on plate.

Flavors at 40 Buffet, TRACE Restaurant & Bar, Element Kuala Lumpur

Element Kuala Lumpur celebrates its fifth year anniversary by launching a collection of health conscious, wellness focused menu options for guests dining at its hotel restaurant located on Level 40 – TRACE Restaurant and Bar. Flavors at 40 is the new buffet that highlights locally sourced, fresh ingredients as well as a selection of healthier dishes and crowd favourites.


The hotel has also embarked on a farm- to –table mission with BoomGrow, to serve fresh and green eats that are great with any choice of food. The greens are harvested from the heart of Kuala Lumpur and served fresh. Diners can assemble their own Poke Bowl with a selection of condiments such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, capsicums, purple cabbage, etc. that are also sourced locally. To encourage healthier eating habits, Element Kuala Lumpur and BoomGrow has also started a campaign, “The Green Chow Down” with goals to embrace creativity in healthy eating.



“After two years in lockdown, Malaysians are embracing cleaner eating habits, with less meat, more greens and more plant-based options. At Element we aim to source our produce locally with the intention of reducing food miles and our carbon footprint. We still offer meat dishes, but we have incorporated more locally-grown vegetables, locally sourced meat, and seafood and cooking ingredients into our buffet line,” said Executive Head Chef Mohd Taib Ridhwan.

Diners can also look out for wholesome dishes such as – Chinese Style Double Boiled Soup with Herb and Fungus, Chicken Salad, Slow Roasted Herbed Mutton, Braised Mock Chicken with Mushroom, Mussels Cooked in Spicy Coconut Gravy with Johor Pineapples, Stir Fried Thai Basil Beef, Wok Fried Mixed Vegetables, homemade soups and broths.

Look out for the live –pasta station, with homemade tomato pasta sauce; locally sourced from Cameron Highlands. The ala-minute cooking style also reduces wastage as diners can select their own condiments, sauces and additional ingredients.


The buffet also offers crowd favorites such as Char Kway Teow, TRACE Signature Pizza, Curry Laksa, Fruit Rojak; assorted Grilled Western and Asian delights.

Recipe: Nyonya Chang (Nyonya Rice Dumpling)

 A few years ago, I had my first Nyonya chang in Melaka, and I fell in love with it instantly. Fast forward to 2022, and I made my first ever Nyonya chang at home. :)

What's special about Nyonya chang? Nyonya chang is tinted blue with blue pea flower and is filled with a sweet-savoury pork filling, which includes minced pork flavoured with coriander powder and candied winter melon. 

Nyonya chang recipe


With online shopping these days, you can find all your ingredients for making rice dumplings in one place. My favourite dried goods shop, Great Ocean Dried Seafood, even came up with a ready pack Nyonya dumpling set which comes with all the dried ingredients needed to make the Nyonya chang (ie glutinous rice, dried shrimp, tea flower dried mushroom, coriander seed, white pepper, blue pea flower, winter melon, bamboo leaves and cotton rope). So convenient! You can buy it here: https://shope.ee/L8RAR7htA

Nyonya Chang ingredients



There is quite a lot of work involved in making rice dumplings, so I highly recommend doing the prep one day ahead so you can concentrate on the wrapping the following day. I've listed out the tasks according to days below to help with the preparation.

Hope you all enjoy your rice dumplings this Duan Wu Jie (Dragon Boat Festival)! Wish you good health 端午安康 (Duān wǔ ān kāng) on this day.
