Thoughts: The locals say that this is one of the best Nasi Kukus at the Balok area of Kuantan, "Nasi kukus Warisan Keluarga" offers Nasi Kukus with Fried Chicken as well as "發酵榴槤巴丁魚 Paih Ikan Patin Tempoyak" both at an affordable rm$8 per serving. 

The rm$8 Nasi Kukus comes with generous steamed white rice, fresh from the steamer along with some cucumber and surprisingly tasty fried chicken with salted egg and sambal on the side. BUT what was tantalizing to smell and taste was the Patin fish cooked with Tempoyak Durian, mildly sweet and sour but not extremely pungent durian smell or taste!

Tempoyak is a Malay condiment made by taking the flesh of durian and mixing it with some salt and kept in room temperature for several days for fermentation. The Malay condiment is usually consumed by Ethnics Malays in Malaysia and Indonesia in South East Asia. There are perhaps many "fermented products" of "preserved" food products in this region; like the 峇拉煎 Belacan (whish is fermented shrimp paste), Tapai (發酵糯米 fermented rice), and Tempoyak (發酵榴蓮 fermented durian); but Tempoyak was probably discovered accidentally from the excessive unconsumed durian and thus left fermented, during the abundance of durian season in the region. The Preserved Durian Fermented Tempoyak serves as a natural food flavoring by adding the Tempoyak into chili paste or curry can add a distinct aroma and savory flavor to the dish, like the popular "發酵榴蓮巴丁魚 Patin Fish Tempoyak" from Temerloh, Pahang.

Food Thoughts: It's 巴丁鱼 Ikan Patin Tempoyak today for lunch, where "Tempoyak" is actually 发酵榴莲肉 fermented durian meat. Which is then used as one of the ingredients to prepare the curry for the Patin fish. Tempoyak itself is a seasonal dish (based on availability of durian) for 马来民主 ethnic Malays and 印尼人 Indonesians alike. It seems that Tempoyak is not consumed solely but rather as a 调味品 condiment or ingredient for cooking such as with 椰奶咖喱 coconut milk curry as gulai tempoyak ikan patin. It was mentioned in 文希亚都拉 Hikayat Abdullah, Tempoyak was mentioned as a staple food for the people of 丁加奴 Terengganu in the old days. The taste of the gravy is 味道偏酸 "sourish", I must say it is somewhat an acquired taste. Overall, it was an interesting food adventure. 
Restoran Temerloh Catering is located at Shah Alam's Seksyen 15, amongts shop lots (corner shop) behind ICCSA (Ideal Convention Centre Shah Alam). ICCSA is a prominent structure easily seen from Federal Highway (Batu Tiga - Bukit Rajah stretch). 
Besides fish dishes, there are counters for chicken and vegetables to choose your dishes, most dishes I am not familiar with. It is a self-service restaurant, when you are seated with the food you have picked up from the counters, a worker will come to "valuate" the amount into a portable digital device. Just name your table, and verify the food at the payment counter to pay before you leave.
