In further part from Sg. Kob, the Kemunting Lake View Restaurant is 'floating' on the lake whereby they're specialising in river fish as well. I love the natural scenery that I've while enjoying my farewell meal here but it's a little shaky being floating on the lake...
I prefer Kemunting Lake View Restaurant as they've more choices of dishes here. The most favourite of mine is always the 3-Flavours 'Jin Feng' fish. The thick sauce is not only sweet and sour but with a little spiciness to stimulate my tongue. I'm not yet an expert to guess the ingredients inside the sauce, but the aroma is very nice and it's very appetising.
As usual, our next dish is always the Fried 'Patin' fish in Soy Sauce. The size of the Patin fish is smaller here and thus the meat is not too thick and not so oily. Some people will prefer the more oily Patin fish as that is the specialty of this fish. Patin fish in soy sauce is somehow a quite standard cooking method to hide the natural, strong soil taste of this fish. Here comes our 3rd character, the Steamed 'Pak Sukong' fish. This is plain steaming with garlic and soy sauce. The soil taste is covered by the saltiness of the soy sauce and with the aroma of the garlic.

Here in Kemunting Lake View Restaurant, they do serve some special dishes like frog, deer or ostrich meat as well. We've ordered the Fried Ostrich meat with Ginger and Green Onions. I've to admit that I like the ginger taste but the ostrich meat is a little over-cooked whereby it turns out to be more chewy. However, the meat is somehow more tender and juicy than chicken.
We've too much meaty orders. Followed is our healthy vegetable meals of Fried Potato Leaves, Fried Cabbage and also the Fried Bean Sprouts. 
I don't think if I should classify the dishes as healthy because there have been too much oil inside the vegetable. It'll definitely be a better choice if the chef can reduce the oil consumption while frying the vegetable.
My personal preference in river fish is at Kemunting Lake View Restaurant as the dishes here are heavier in taste. It's easier for me, a non-river fish lover to accept the flavours here. It's kind of depending of your tongue to choose the suitable river fish for yourself.
Bear in mind, the river fish in Kulim opens only at daytime because the area is not equipped with electricity. There's no light at the night time ;)
Restoran Kolam Ikan is specializing in river fish and it's located deep into the forest of Sg. Kob area. I've to admit that it's an adventurous journey to pass by the narrow rocky roads. The river fish is prepared and cooked freshly here whereby the owner has setup their own feeding ponds around the restaurant. It's an amazing scene that we've reached the pond during the lunch time, looking at the pool of fish rob against their food.
Restaurant Chaw Choon is a famous Dim Sum place that is well-known in B'worth whereby people will start to gather early in the morning for a Dim Sum feast with family. The main shop is at Kampung Benggali that is nearby the ferry port while I prefer the branch shop at Raja Uda area as it's newer and cleaner.
They serve a large variety of Dim Sum that I don't know which to start with. My first temptation always goes to the Prawn Dumplings. I don't know how to name the prawn dumplings, what I know is that 虾烧卖 is normally stuffed with the mixture of chopped prawn and meat while 虾饺 is rich with the big prawn inside the transparent dumpling skin.
Restaurant Mei Wei Hin is specialising in Dim Sum whereby they open twice a day; if not mistaken, in the morning at about 7am and from about 7pm in the late evening. I personally like the Dim Sum here as they're using prawn as the main ingredient, it's just perfect for me as a seafood lover instead of a meaty girl.
Let's start with the main characters of Dim Sum; the Meat Dumpling烧卖 and Prawn Dumpling虾饺. To a non-meat lover, the meat dumpling appears to be tender and just nice only for me as my favourite is still the prawn dumpling whereby every single prawns are so tender and juicy that they're so fully stuffed inside the dumpling skin.
Another favourite of mine that I've ever tasted in any Dim Sum restaurant before is the Turnips Dumpling菜糕. It's more alike mixed ingredients of corn, red bean, peanut, turnips and some chopped prawns. Every single bite is rich of different flavours and the ingredients are very fresh that in fact, they're crunchy. This unknown dumpling is added with coriander leaves to enhance the aroma and adding in another freshness, flavour to the prawn itself.
My friends personally love the White Carrot Cake罗卜糕 here. From outside, you must be wondering what this 'black stuff' is... Actually, the carrot cake is fried till very crunchy yet it's still very soft and tender from inside. Every bite is the natural taste of the white carrot.
For the main course, I've chosen a GOP spaghetti or it's also called Aglio Olio spaghetti that is fried mainly with olive oil and garlic. The chef has put in some chopped tomato cubes and cherry tomatoes for a more refreshing taste, also with the Parmesan cheese to add on a little saltiness. The spaghetti is delicious except that I prefer more garlic to enhance the aroma.
