Pasar Awam Pontian (Pontian Wholesale Fish Market) is a great place to buy fresh seafood that are catches from nearby Kukup Fishing Village. And the best thing to do after buying fresh seafood will be to cook them immediately. Ah Huat Kitchen (亚发代炒), located in Kedai Kopi Seng (锦成茶餐室) amidst a row of shophouses opposite the fish market, is one of the best places to have the seafood cooked-on-behalf — you buy the seafood and Ah Huat Kitchen will cook for you.
Depending on the size or quantity of the bought seafood and how they will be cooked, prices may vary. Of course, the more tedious the cooking methods and additional ingredients, like meat, veggies, garlic, ginger, etc, provided by the stall will cost a little more.
Some dishes that we have tried include squids in squid ink, steamed pomfret, chilli clams and salted egg prawns (above). On another visit, we have squids with squid ink again (but the squids we bought had not much ink), fried chilli prawns, deep-fried fish and steamed fish. Fresh fishes are always best when steamed.
The cook-on-behalf concept by Ah Huat Kitchen is a great option to try when in Pontian. You will pick the fresh seafood yourself and let the cooks do what they do best. Furthermore, meat, vegetable, noodle dishes can also be ordered from Ah Huat Kitchen.
