Garden View Restaurant's Fresh River Bounties - Bukit Tinggi, Pahang

It was one of those evening among friends. We talked about eating at Genting's Burger and Lobster. Then at a whim and on a fancy we decided for Bukit Tinggi. The lure of the river fishes and prawns were too great for my Singaporean friend. It has been a while for him. After 2 days of mediocre food the promised of a great gastronomical experience was too hard to resist. We left for the cooler climes of the hills. An hour and 15 minutes' drive added to our appetite.

Wow the steamed river prawns were like an lobster. A sufficient replacement for the lobster at Genting's Burger and Lobster. The garlic enhances the natural sweetness of the fresh flesh.

They have a extensive menu for river fish. Our 800gm Soon Hock was another 'wow'. Steaming it is a must. Any other way will not do justice and a waste of money. I dug the bulging cheek and savour the best portion from this river bounty and could not stop singing and thanking God for his goodness in his creation.

The other 2 dishes was the sotong appearing for a cameo part ans the customary vegetables in the humble river 'weed' in the form of the watercress to round up the meal.

Bon appetite!
