Naim Gulai Sembilang is a semi-documentary put together by a team of
Malaysian print and television journalists.
Saltwater catfish is known as Ikan Sembilang in Malaysia, Brunei and
Indonesia. It is deemed superior in texture and fame than the freshwater
variety known as Ikan Keli.
The semi-documentary tracks fishermen in a northern Malaysian enclave,
returning with hefty catches when Sembilang tends to be elusive.
They swiftly get down to business as wholesalers whisper their bids.
Next stop is a nearby wet market as the owner of a famous restaurant
specialising in Sembilang dishes haggle prices with retailers.
Her outlet in Tanjung Dawai, 15 minutes away, draws customers from
various parts of Malaysia. Boiling-hot Sembilang curry serves in
claypots is the biggest attraction.
The Sembilang business has lately generated an end-product in the form
of paste, enabling Malaysians longing for Gulai Sembilang to prepare the
dish at home in a flash.
