Kak Long Panas, MMU (best malay food on campus :))

Nadia's catfish

Just got back from UM and had a really nice nasi goreng for linner (too late for lunch, too early for dinner). And as I rest my tired feet from 2 hours of lecture, I might as well just sit back and blog about yesterdays lunch at MMU's very own, Kak Long Panas, the place at the Centre food court, at the sportsplex. At MMU.

Miza's catfish

I am not so sure why Kak Long is panas (hot), because usually the dishes are warm, but perhaps its the place, because it is a bit hot there, open space and all. If we compare the food at Kak Long's with erm...let's see, the only other similar Malay place on campus, HB3, then Kak Long is definitely first place. HB3 recently created a stir with their maggot-filled fish and since we're lacking in competition, I guess it can go 2nd place.

Sheemz's veggies. Yay~ no catfish
for me today. Maybe tomorrow.

Kak Long serves a variety of Malay dishes. Chicken in yellow coconut milk (ayam lemak), chicken in soy sauce, cillied fish (usually 2-3 types of fish), local salads including jering, cilli with fermented prawns (sambal belacan), and some dishes to order too. But, somehow or another, we always end up getting the cillied catfish. Why huh? Am I subtlely implying the other dishes are not as good? y  e  s.

The cillied catfish is crunchy, and delicious. And it only costs around ~RM5 with rice and vegetables. We do get tired of it though, some times, and when we do, we order the Pari in the claypot. And when we get tired of that, we go back to the cillied catfish. Or the mamak place at FCM. Its a pretty straightforward cycle. Of the eating habits of rocking MMU lecturers. 

And, by the by, cillied catfish is scientifically proven to get you Professor within 10 years.
