IKAN PATIN

Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak
(Silver Catfish in Durian Paste)


It is in fact a traditional dish popular in the inland riverine areas as the Patin fish is found in abundance in the rivers of Pahang, especially in the Sungai Pahang ("Pahang River").
But, like all Malay dishes, this dish is mostly not taken on its own but is eaten with rice. And the Malays normally eat rice with at least three different dishes, comprising of fish, meat (like chicken, beef, lamb, mutton) and vegetables.
If you come to Temerloh -- the home of the Patin -- then this Ikan Patin Masak Tempoyak dish can be found in most of the restaurants and food-courts in the town.

The ikan patin masak tempoyak dish is not that complicated to cook, except that the durian paste or tempoyak must be available as it gives the special flavour and hence the name of the dish.

THE FAMOUS GULAI TEMPOYAK IKAN PATIN!
