Pulau Aman -- Seafood Paradise

Pulau Aman located at Tambun, 15 min boat trip from mainland to this small and peaceful island...
Fresh seafood available all day long from the boat came back...and depends on luck and season, customers can buy whatever that offer here...freshness is guaranteed... then will be prepared and served by the  kitchen service here...

We got AAA size mantis prawn (so-called lai niu har), super big crabs, and uncountable shrimps...
 
Don't worry...the charges is always surprisingly cheaper than any other seafood restaurant you can named...

Iranian mates + Iranian food + Kuala Lumpur = Awesome

Acknowledgment for Ehsan and Marjan... you two are sweet and adorable...

After almost one year of "hi and bye...", out of expectation, came to a click with my Iranian lab mates...
Can't believe someone nearly 4000 miles away in another side of globe...we could sit together and share... totally frank chatting from religion, culture, lifestyle, business, family, thought and perception...

Though Ehsan claimed that he can cook better than these, but still I would like to share here, my first Iranian meal at Garden...
This is the typical Iranian rice served with fillet and grilled tomato...
The rice is not the ordinary one that we have in South East Asia...and the preparation is much more tedious according to Ehsan...not simply steamed with electronic rice cooker...each and every rice grains are so perfectly shape...with very light taste...slowly diffuse in my mouth...
Besides, there are salad (which is mixture of cucumber and tomato dressed with lime sauce) and also creamy barley soup... May be its too hasty to draw a conclusion, Iranian food are prone to sour taste with lime and tomato..

I am pretty much enjoy my fillet...while they have beef tenderloin and minced meat...
I am so full after ate half of the meal...but can you imagine normally in Iran, the portion served is two times bigger than this?
Life is full of surprises...
