A new Indonesian restaurant is now open in KL, located at Jalan P. Ramlee. It is Pondok Gurame. An Indonesian food restaurant serving Javanese foods and Sundanese foods. Gurame is the name of a fish (pronounced as Gu-Ra-Mi or Me). It tastes really nice when it is fried. I saw the advertisement in The Star today with a phone number for reservations and a nice poster showing the Gurame Fish.
It exists in Singapore since 1991 and has opened its branch now in Malaysia. Its been long time since last I had this fried Gurami or Gurame fish.
Here is a short description of Gurame Fish: (Source: Food and Entertainment Online)
The Gurame fish was first used as food in Sulawesi, and subsequently brought to Java in 1916 where it became a popular local dish.
Found in rivers, swamps, wells or fresh water ponds in Java, Sumatra, Phillipines, and even parts of Australia, the Gurame fish (Osphronemus Gouramy) is a fresh water fish, though its adaptability to saltwater conditions is still subject to debate. Max Webr den De Beaufort, author of “The Fishes of the Indon-Australia Archipelago,” affirms that the Gurame can adapt to saltwater. Local experts in Indonesia, however, disagree.
Gurame can grow up to 65cm (about 2ft) in size and 8kg (17 pounds) in weight, as in the case of the Gurame Angsa. Ideal conditions for the Gurame include an altitude of 50-400 metres above sea level, and a temperature of between 24-28 degress celsius.
