In search of skilful freshwater attain has ever been our favorite matter to do, peculiarly on long weekends. In our recent cry for to Kulim, Kedah (border town of Penang together with Kedah State), nosotros visited Restaurant Kolam Ikan; i of the famous Chinese restaurants nigh to Kulim Hi-Tech Park. Kolam Ikan is known to churn out freshwater attain (namely Tilapia, Catfish, Patin etc), the possessor owns fish farms (in Kedah) together with therefore, able to origin roughly of the freshest grab inwards town. The eating theater was previously situated correct adjacent to the fish pond but it was inaccessible correct now. They were forced to motion out together with now, operating inwards their ain residence. They attain non accept a really elaborate bill of fare but merely a few types of signature dishes they are best at.

Three-flavored Deep Fried Tilapia (Rm 36)
Steamed Wild Catfish (Rm 54)
We were told that their Three-flavored Deep Fried Tilapia was i of the must-haves together with it's the de-facto dish ordered yesteryear almost diners. Kolam Ikan uses large Tilapia for this dish, the river fish was deep fried alongside a crispy crust together with ladled over their home-made sweet-sour Chili sauce. The texture was meaty alongside crispy edges but nosotros idea the flesh was slightly overcooked together with a tad also dry out to our liking. The sauce was the measure sweet-sour-spicy sauce, nix overly exciting.
We were given ii options- farmed ones or wild ones; nosotros opted for the wild Catfish. It appeared to hold upwards underfed together with sparse but the flesh was firm. We idea the Soy Sauce could hold upwards to a greater extent than flavorful (probably due to its no alcohol policy, alcohols were non used here) but it was a decent Steamed Catfish nevertheless.
