Bawal Padu — Restaurant in Shah Alam

Nothing really to shout about...

We were at JPJ to renew my car's roadtax, and after we were done I had suggested that we have lunch at Pak Su Ori's, which we hadnt been to for quite a while. My wife, as always, 🙄 would have a different idea and suggested this place.

Luckily we managed to get a nice parking spot right next to the restaurant. My wife immediately asked for the Fried Bawal set, which was served with multiple sambals and condiments. The menu basically contained everything fried, like cat fish, chicken, pomfret fish, squids and the likes, of course with their own respective sambal and condiments..

Fortunately for me, they also serve Kambing Bakar set, which was the only thing that had appealed to me. Be it as it may, it was not properly prepared or cooked, with the bones being left out amid the tough meat, making my chewing extra careful to remove the smaller sized bones. And the tough meat was not exactly easy to swallow...

Next time, Im going to...

Tried Bawal Padu recently and was really impressed! The Ikan Bawal Bakar was perfectly grilled, with a rich sambal that added just the right kick of heat without overpowering the fish’s natural flavor. The portion was generous and came with fresh veggies and flavorful dipping sauces.

The Sotong Goreng was a standout – crispy on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned just right. Paired with rice and their signature kuah kari, the whole meal was satisfying and delicious.

Service was fast and friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. Highly recommended if you're craving local grilled fish and seafood with...

Food was okay, reasonable.. But for service..sangat lambat... We came for lunch around 1.30pm, 4 of us. We ordered set bawal goreng, set ayam bakar 2, set ayam goreng kunyit 1... Took 1 hour 15 mins to get the bawal goreng, and ayam bakar...waiting another 30 mins for the ayam kunyit, but decided just to take away the ayam kunyit since we rush in time...

Need to improve on the service quality..really...
