Terra Pong Restaurant
Hulu Langat
In Hulu Langat, Selangor lies a very nice looking wooden restaurants built on stilts with ponds all over the place giving it an illusion of a restaurant built on top of water. Some of the “rooms” have intricately carved wooden walls. The restaurant is rather big with various buildings being linked together by wooden walkways.
The Terra Pong Restaurant looks like it is built on water.
The layout of Terra Pong Restaurant is actually rather large; a large wooden structure perhaps one of the largest in its segment (restaurants). They serve seafood, Thai and local cuisine. What’s more interesting is that they serve fish that are swimming from their tanks of which is claimed to be raised by them (the restaurant operator), feeding only on special pellets. They have a variety of fishes to choose from such as tilapia, river catfish, and mahseer.

During my visit I had the fried calamari, fried barramundi cooked “tiga rasa” (3 taste being sweet, salty, and spicy), seafood tom yam, butter prawns, fried omelette with onions, a chicken dish with herbs and spices cooked in soy sauce, Thai papaya salad, and fried vegetables.
Personally, I found the food served to be decent with three dishes standing out from the rest. I love the tom yam; a sweet, sour, and spicy Thai dish. The soup here is on the sweeter side and I personally prefer my tom yam to be on the sweeter side. For those who love spicy food the tom yam here is one to try.
Tasty tomyam that is more on the sweet side.
Another dish that I really liked is the fried calamari. The fried calamari is tasty being fried with a super tasty batter that is more on the salty side with a hint of sweetness. The fried calamari is crispy on the outside and tasty on the inside. The dish comes with chili sauce but I personally preferred it without.
The other dish that I enjoyed is the soy sauce chicken dish that is cooked with various spices. It is on the sweet and salty but on the sweeter side. The dish also has a burst of flavours from the herbs used. The gravy goes very well with rice.
Terra Pong Restaurant is a good place to go to should you be entertaining people, having family or company events such as lunch meetings or annual dinners etc. The ambience of the place is good and one can reserve a section that is more private or away from the crowd.
Delicious papaya salad.
