Food
1. 柚木园烧鱼
Grilled/Claypot tilapia fish is one of the specialty in Semenyih. Yet there are many restaurant offering Tilapia Fish but I personally prefer this restaurant. Perhaps Semenyih is surrounded by lake water, it produces very high graded and good quality of fresh water fish.
This retaurant is famous with Grilled Tilapia and claypot steam. The fish has no Muddy Smell at all. And the pearly white meat is so tender and juicy. It's just like chewing the live fish.
The price is super reasonable too. Highly recommended.

This Japanese restaurant is located inside the Eco Forest Park. You need to drive into the park and it's located just beside the open car park.
I was truly impressed by the taste of this small little Japanese hut restaurant. The sushi was just too scrumptious and flavourful.
Trust me, the Japanese food served here is not as common as the restaurant outside, it's more like a fine cuisine style and you can feel the skill and passion of the chef. The skewers are nice too. Must try! Price is a little costly but worth to try.

3. Chicken Rice (Nasi Ayam)
This chicken rice stall run by a Malay family. Its located just right opposite a grass field. It's totally not noticeable as the stall is indeed look a little bit plain and there is no signage or signboard.
But the queue is unbelievably long everyday and indeed, it was the queue that attracting my attention instead of anyting else.
The chicken rice is very diffrent from the one that we used to have in kl city. It's like a Small Village style of rice, and the chicken is well marinated with their signature gravy, rice is served in turmeric fragrantly style, and the chicken portion is surprisingly big. Its a very blissful kind of meal as t comes with a chicken, rice and a soup.
