Amazing tasty fish paste from Warung Aziz Satar @ Cukai, Terengganu

I went to Terengganu on duty trip and was recommended by my colleagues to try satar in this shop. Once I tried it, I really fall in love of the food here. The little pieces of fish paste wrapped with burned pandan leaves taste really good. The natural pandan leaves wrap brings in the good roasted aroma to the fish inside. Do savour this traditional local made delicacy if you happen to be in Kuala Kemaman, Terengganu.

Price:9/10(Cheap. Each stick with 10 pieces at MYR5.00. Its good to eat as it is or my favourite is to eat it with bread).


This is what they called as satar. Roasted fish paste. Very delicious fish paste with some condiments and chili. Beware if you can't take spicy food.

Besides satar, they also have roast squid, roast fish, roast sting ray and roast glutinous rice. All wrap with banana leaves before roasting to give special aroma to the food.

Excellent fries and bison burger at High West Distillery & Saloon @ Park City, Utah, USA

We had our lunch here as per good review from online while I was looking for place to have good food in Park City. The food option in Park City is quite limited as its a small town. I had the distillery tour at this High West distillery before but don't have chance to eat there at that time. Now, I know that this place serves great food and the must try their best ever blue cheese coated fries. If you like vodka/whiskey, do tried their locally brewed spirit as well. I would recommend anyone to come here for lunch/dinner if you happen to visit Park City, Utah.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Their burger was good and its my first time to have bison meat burger. The one item that must try here is their fries. Its the best fries that I have so far. The fries mixed with blue cheese which is the best combination. The Schnitzel which is wild boar meat slice is just moderate with uneven flavoring. Half part taste blend but another half taste great. However, I do like the Schnitzel topped with caper. The stout drink that we ordered were good, however we missed the chance to sample their vodka/whiskey).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. High West burger with fries at USD18.00, The Schnitzel at USD23.00 and Samuel Smith oatmeal stout at USD7.00. Total bill at USD48.00).




High West burger. Its a 8oz bison & beef blend patty. The fries with Gruyere blue cheese, whiskey braised onions & toasted house bun.

This is the best fries that I ever had. It mixed with Gruyere blue cheese. Excellent.


The schnitzel. Fried wild boar meat with house greens. The meat was topped with caper & bacon bitters vinaigrette.

Nice juicy wild boar meat.


Wide selection of spirits at the bar.
