Chia Bee Restaurant
Chia Bee Restaurant serve variety of food and their specialty here are their fish. Chia Bee is a big Fishing Pond place but with few comfortable seating place next to the Fishing Pond. The restaurant have both indoor with air conditioning seating place and also outdoor seating place if you wish to get close to nature.
Depending on your preference, it is both comfortable dining either indoor or outdoor.
Food here is tasty and especially their fish is fresh here as some of the fish are kept alive at their restaurant until the moment they clean and cook it. That makes the fish staying fresh when served.
At Chia Bee Restaurant they serve Chinese Cuisine, even though it is mainly seafood but they do it Chinese Style, haha ! You can either order ala carte or dishes to go with rice and it is served hot to your table. During my visit, i was served with dishes and rice. I like it because it actually makes me feel like home with 3 dish and a rice, haha !
Udang Galah Goreng Planta
Udang Galah Goreng Planta is one of the dish i get to try here. The Udang Galah or known as Giant Freshwater Prawn is big and tasty. I like the meat, it is very juicy and the taste of planta smell very nice and buttery. Combination of planta and egg make it very more aromatic.
Talapia Masak Tiga Rasa
I like this Talapia Masak Tiga Rasa, the outer layer of the Talapia fish is very crunchy and there is less bone inside. The sauce that is put on to it is very appetizing as it is a bit sour and spicy.
Sayur Goreng Kicap
Enough of all meat, now lets look at some vegetables. This plate of Sayur Goreng Kicap is simple and the serving is big. The vegetables that i tried here is a type of Pea Sprouts or more commonly known as Dou Miao to the locals here. It is crunchy and taste good.
Chia Bee Fishing Pond
Fishing Pond here at Chia Bee is open for public and so you can come here to fish either before or after your meal at their restaurant, haha ! Chia Bee does not provide any fishing equipment so you will have to bring your own fishing equipment if you wish to fish here.
