It is not easy to find this good restaurant after the Endau Bridge from Mersing. The useful landmark is to locate a Seven Eleven (7/11) shop along the main road Kuala Rompin first on the left, and turn directly into the opposite street facing 7/11. Fu Man Lou is buried within rows of vacant shops. After entering this street turn right to search for this restaurant. It is worth your efforts. Growing to be very popular with anglers returning to Singapore from Rompin fishing, home of Sailfishes.
I was introduced to this family restaurant by my Rompin boatman. I fell in love with the shark head collagen and its soup. Collagen is good to lubricate for my knee cap. Before I was suffering from the pains of meniscus tear. In Singapore, I could not find similar quality. Roast suckling pig is a must for each visit, and costs about $90 each. Steamed fish is a great delicacy here. Innovative dish is rojak topped by crispy sliced squid. You can send your catch of the day for cooking in this restaurant for a fee.
Each time I visit Rompin for fishing, I am excited to visit this restaurant for great quality food. Go for it !

For Game Fishing at Kuala Rompin River, anglers have their meals at the Rompin River Seafood Restaurant. It serves breakfast & dinner. The Restaurant is simple local coffee shop atmosphere but its located by the River Front. Indulge in their delicious breakfast & dinner and watch in awe the stunning river front view of sunrise & sunset , amazed by the traffic of anglers & boats in action. Breakfast has fried noodles, local coconut rice & various type of soup noodles. Menus are extensive with many choices . We enjoyed not only the marmite chicken, thai style tau foo, stir fry belacan kangkong but the many flavoured style they cooked from our catch of the day. The owner & his staff are friendly & efficient in their food services. It is a great place for leisure/game fishing , there are chalets for anglers just next to the Restaurant, Worth recommending!!!!

A friend had informed us that this stall serves fresh Udang Galah (lobsters). When we arrived at this place in Kampung Leban Condong, Kuala Rompin. It is beside the main road with a giant lobster figurine by the roadside as signage. Just a typical Malay Food stall but the Udang Galah is worth mentioning. We tried the simple Udang Galah fried with Tumeric and salt to taste. Simple yet Fresh and succulent. A simple advice, check and confirm the price of the Udang Galah before your meal. A cheap eatery but the price of the Udang Galah places it in mid range. Trust me, if you like Malay cuisine then its a must try!!

About 2km from the bridge of Endau Rompin towards Mersing, we chanced upon this restaurant and left with satisfied full bellies. Testament to the cook's ability, it is very popular with locals who bring their own seafood to be cooked here. It is a family run business with very warm, friendly service. Reasonable price, fresh seafood, cooked well.
