In the town of Pasir Penambang, there are a number of restaurants. One of them with a good view of the river is River View Restaurant. Set on a large wooden platform, it is open on two sides, allowing a good view of the Kuala Selangor bridge and river and nearby fishing village.
There were a number of tourists at this restaurant.
Favorite Dish: Excellent steamed white pomfret (bawal) -the sauce was clear, piquant and spicy, simply delicious!!
We ordered the set meal for 5 adults, 3 big kids and 3 little kids. Total bill which included several soft drinks and Chinese tea = RM198.50 (US$50)
The set meal came with steamed pomfret, braised large prawns, fried oyster ommelette, deep fried mantis prawns, flower crabs with butter sauce, fried asparagus, rice & jelly for desert. The food was fresh, but cooking style rather average, except for the pomfret & crabs, which were delicious.

We visit this place at least twice a year. Last visit was in October 2007. Next visit shall be July 2008. It remains a good place to visit-with good, reasonably priced seafood.
This is a pleasant restaurant by the riverside at Carey Island (Pulay Carey). It's interior is cool and comfortable(although a bit dark...but you can still see your food)
This restaurant has been here for years, started out as a shack and expanded. It is quite famous in its own right. Tour groups from out of town do drop by - I've seen people coming in bus loads-not kidding!!
Those working in neighbouring factories in Teluk Panglima Garang (eg. Toshiba) and Klang also drop by here for lunch.

This is the original and one of the best malay beriyanis in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The place is a normal place. Nothing special about it but the food is good. I'm more into quality of food and service rather than the place itself.
They make good original beriyanis from Muar and they now have branches everywhere.
Favorite Dish: (1) Nasi Beriyani Gam Ayam (Chicken) and (2) Nasi Beriyani Gam Kambing (Lamb)

typical indian muslim restaurant ..no fancy decoration only focus on their dishes
Favorite Dish: The rice is accompanied by side dishes such as fried chicken, curried spleen, cubed beef, fish roe, fried prawns or fried squid. The vegetable dish would usually be brinjal (aubergine), okra (lady fingers or "bendi") or bitter gourd. A mixture of curry sauces is poured on the rice. This is called 'banjir' (flooding) and imparts a diverse taste to the rice.

Located within a Condominium complex with its own lake (a’ la Venice), this restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. The night we visited it had the look of a home-styled place that was beloved among locals (especially those living in the Selayang area). In fact, I only found out about this place due to the recommendation of VT’er and food lover, audrey118.
Normally, when I visit a restaurant with my family, we usually order very 'standard - but - classic "can’t - go-wrong" Cantonese dishes, rather than anything that sounds too fancy. Well, the good news is that this restaurant does the standard but classic dishes very well indeed, which I consider is a mark of a good, reliable restaurant. Having said that, I noticed that they also had some house specialities which I didn’t try, but they looked very good, such as the Thai rojak/salad.
We noticed that the people at the next table had brought their own bottles of Australian red and were chatting and laughing loudly throughout the night. In summary, this is just the sort of restaurant to bring your friends and relatives if you plan to have a relaxing evening, without too many frills.
Favorite Dish: The ubiquitious Claypot Tau Foo (Beancurd), was cooked with good sized prawns, scallops and crunchy broccoli, slices of carrots and cauliflower all served up in a sizzling hot claypot. You can choose the type of tau foo that you prefer and we chose white Chinese tau foo, rather than Japanese tau foo (soft tau foo with egg). The gravy was simply scrumptious, and had us reaching for a second serving of steamed white rice. Probably the long drive had also made us all very hungry!
Whole kampung Chicken steam-baked with Chinese herbs had a terrific aroma when it was brought to the table, and the succulent white flesh of the chicken literally fell off the chicken bones. My children and I especially enjoyed the drumsticks and the gravy had me reaching for even more steamed rice.
Romaine lettuce hot-woked with fu-yee (fermented beancurd) and garlic was crunchy & delicious. It was a hit and snapped up in seconds.
Lala Clams fried with garlic, were a bit too small but still quite tasty.
Crabs-we ordered 1.5 kg in kam-heong style. It was quite tasty, but as this dish arrived last, we were too full to finish it and had to doggie-bag the rest. Actually it tasted even better the next day and we even fought over the left-overs. The crabs were RM40 per kilo and each crab was around 600 grams, so there was plenty.
Total bill for 4 adults, 2 big & 1 small kid was approx RM150.
Opening Hours
The restaurant is open daily for lunch & dinner but closed for Lunch on Sundays, and closed for Dinner on Tuesdays and Fridays. Call ahead to make reservations and to pre-order your food (day before or on the same day) and you’ll be served faster.

This slightly out of the way restaurant is known to foodies only through word-of-mouth. I came to know of this place through a friend of mine who is part of a regular "gourmet group" or self-confessed "gluttons" who spend their weekends tracking down places for good food at reasonable prices.
So, what is this restaurant like?
Well, for one thing, it is located in the middle of an oil palm estate. There is no restaurant signage, because the restaurant occupies the bit of land right next door to a owner's house.
You can order ala carte or take the set menu - which is what I did, since unfortunately, my Cantonese is rather limited.
The service is brisk and businesslike but not fancy.
You need to order at least 1 day in advance through the telephone. They only open for dinners on Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays (from 5pm onwards). Contact Mr Tee, phone number provided below.
To watch the Fire flies at Kuala Selangor, you would need to drive further one for about another 30 to 40 minutes.
Favorite Dish: Set Menu for 10 people (all big eaters preferably...)
Glutinous rice with salted egg yolks, chunks of marinated pork, Chinese mushrooms**
Beggars Chicken (The chicken is stuffed with aromatic Chinese herbs, wrapped in aluminium foil, before being encased in clay and baked in a hot oven for 4 hours)
Beggars Duck** (similar to the chicken, but with the addition of a different types of herbs with a brownish sauce. After being cooked for so long, the duck meat was so tender, it literally fell off the bone...I am quite partial to duck.)
Beggars Pork Trotters with chunks of yam * (I am partial to yam)
Steamed fish - Thai Style ** (the fish was fresh and sauce was tangy and piquant)
Wok tossed Large prawns ** (good sized prawns - very fresh! Cooked in dark sauce with a tinge of spicy chilli)
Crabs in spicy Kam Heong style (very fresh, very meaty)**
Green lettuce with oyster sauce
Pork stomach soup with pepper*
