Malay Fried Ikan Bawal @ Factory area towards Juru Autocity(day)

I was so grossed out and indignified the first time someone recommended this place to me.It is a shack,like a mexican cantina,looking like some outlaws hideout.
You sit down on the rotten wooden benches like refugees,and eat the fish n chicken that was fried in blackened oil while burning under the hot sun.All the while having to fight off the flies and begging cats.
You just cannot wait for this nightmare to end so you can return to the comfort of your car.So you ask for the bill,you balk at the price,what? RM$5 per fish?
go home,swear never to speak to the recommendee but then something happens the next week.
All of sudden you get the urge to drive all the way here in your mercedes,lorry or kapcai so you can pour the fish curry atop your sweat riddled rice while munching into the steaming hot crunchy scrumptious black bawal fish that the flies would die for and cats would sing for.
Because where in the world can you get fried black bawal fish for $5 in Penang or Butterworth right?You can get steamed white bawal but at another unsavoury place near the old sia boey.Not fried.For fried costs a minimum of $10(in some backwaters of jelutong) to average of $25 onwards in places like the lousy Ang Huay Loh(it ain't even bawal in ang huay loh ok?)
Please don't eat here cos you might be as embarassed as me,to have to eat back my own words
