To Bako for lunch

It was 2nd day of Hari Raya last Sunday. Weather was nicer as we had rain the night prior. So the morning was breezy and cloudy. 

So hubby suggested for a special drive to the beach or countryside for lunch. We initially wanted to go to Buntal but luckily I made a call first. The restaurant was closed so we diverted to Bako after confirming that the one in Bako was opened for lunch.

We navigated from Matang to Demak Laut and then to Bako. It was a nice drive as lesser cars on the road. Soon, we reached Bako village and found a good parking spot before walked over to Bako Seafood Restaurant.

We didn't managed to book a table over the phone but we got a table as walk-in. Anyway, we placed our order without delay and soon, the food was served. 

We used to enjoy its deep fried oyster balls in the past so this time, no exception as we had that as well. 

The Pacific white clam and fish balls soup was next. It was good and tasty!! Big, springy fish balls with the taste of the sea from the clams. 

The curry bamboo clams were nice and meaty as well. The thick curry gravy went so well with white rice. 

We also had their signature deep fried seafood beancurds but beware, it was hot!! Nice to take with or without its spicy dipping. 

Steamed prawns with egg were great but by now, we were already pretty stuffed and can't finish this dish.  So, we had a takeaway for the remaining prawns. 

And also this fried 'ngor hu' (thread fin fish), we had to bring home for our dinner that evening. 

Overall, our delightful seafood lunch was RM212 plus drinks. By then the place was packed with patrons. We quickly made our move and drove back to Kuching.
