PATIN GULAI MASAM SIMPLY THE BEST...A RIVAL MENU OF PATIN TEMPOYAK, TEMERLOH SPECIAL DISH

The patin is actually a group of catfishes native to South East Asian waters. They’re also known as ‘Shark Catfishes’ because of their resemblance in shape to those ocean predators. But all known species of patin are toothless! Some are small while others like the infamous Mekong Giant Catfish grow up to 3.5m long and 600kg in weight. Here’s a fun fact: those affordable frozen fish fillets sold in supermarkets as ‘Dory’ or ‘Sutchi’ or ‘Pangasius’ fillets are in fact, Vietnamese-sourced Ikan Patin.


In Malaysia, the biggest patins average around 30kg although ones bred for commercial purposes are sold when they’re just about 2kg – 2.5kg. Although it would take a trained ichtyologist to tell the difference, the two most commonly found types of patin in Malaysia are the regular patin (commonly referred to nowadays as Patin Sangkar, because of intensive farming of this type) and the Patin Buah, a wild species.

The differences between those two seem to be in texture: the Patin Buah, being a wild and free-swimming variety, has a firmer texture and better flavour. Consequently it is also much more expensive. There are also Patin Muncung, Patin Lawan and several other species. But the farmed variety and the Patin Buah are the most important commercially.

Temerloh, as a town, is pretty much like most small towns outside of the Klang Valley. Relatively quiet, less traffic woes and people here live at a slower pace than what we KL folk are used to. But beyond the sense of sleepiness that often besets small towns, Temerloh is famous nationwide for one thing: Ikan Patin…
