When it comes to traditional Kuala Kangsar
delicacy, no one knows it better than the husband and wife team Saidi Othman
and Zaliah Ibrahim, the lovely owner of Teratak Warisan Kampung; operating for
the last 15 years. With their 30 types of dishes serves daily, it is no wonder
that repeated guest and those whom came from afar seek for Saidi and Zaliah ‘air
tangan’- authentic-‘Kuale’-dishes.
Fascinated with how his grandmother cooks
ikan loma (without choking its small niddle like bones), Saidi begins to learn
the art of cooking ikan loma or Thynnichthys thynnoides/white carp (upon
googling); a fresh water fish that is found aplenty in Perak. The famous ikan
loma dish is ‘ikan masak pindang’ or fish in brine style; a clear soupy type of
dish using ginger, chili, galangal and etc wrap in seniar leaf and boil for 2
nights.
Because of their passion for food and his
love for his heritage, in 1999 marks the birth of Teratak Warisan Kampung .
Said manning the restaurant while Zaliah manages the kitchen, a perfect
combination and match made in heaven.
Few Kuale dishes that is popular amongst
the near and far are Gulai Kemahang, Nasi Lemuni/Legundi, Kebebe, Betik Muda
masak air, Ikan Bakar dalam tanah liat and Siput Sedut campur pucuk paku, these
are usually paired with ulam (local salad) such as paku rawan, daun asam jawa,
pegaga and etc eaten with sambal belacan and kerabu kelapa. Not to forget Ikan
pekasam, the legendary Lenggong delicacy.
Located just behind the Kuala Kangsar bus
station, this corner lot restaurant is able to fit in minimal 50 patrons in one
go, ideal for group (only upon reservation) and family get-together meal.
Saidi’s aim is to introduce and educated
the younger generation to authentic local delicacy as much as possible, preserving
Kuala Kangsar heritage and signature dish. Hoping that one day, Kuala Kangsar
dishes will famous at international level.
