Restoran Duyong, Cherating

Five years ago when we first visited Cherating, we found this hidden Thai & chinese cooking restaurant. It is built on a wooden deck by the sea. If you are visiting in the morning, you will be able to have a panoramic seaview seafood lunch. Whilst visiting at night, you will be able to experience the traditional asian fish village restaurant overlooking Gebeng (infamous Lynas) shore.


Despite the 45 mins drive from Telok Cempedak, we were back there again for good food after 5 years. 






Thai Fragrant Coconut to quench our thirst








Seafood Tomyum Soup 
This is first time I've seen fish ball in tom yum soup. The soup is sour, salty and spicy. Not much seafood in it, all I can remember is fish balls!










Fried Vege, Fried Mackerel with ulam & sambal belachan -small (RM10)
Value for money, the brinjal and banana fritters were very crispy. Sambal belachan is hot and rich in flavour. 






Claypot crab with glass noodles
Crab were too small, and doenst have a lot of meat. But the glass noodle was evenly coated with ginger, peppery black sauce! Awesome!






Fried Kailan with salted fish (RM 20)
The kailan is too old. And I think it is very very pricey!






Garoupa in Chilly Lime sauce
Garoupa is fresh and is steamed, coated with lots of garlic, chillies and lime. Absolutely tasty!
