Time for some relaxing Ubin fishing

Woohoo, another Saturday has come, and this time, David, Chng and Hokkien Pro (he speaks Hokkien like a professional) decided that Ubin was the place to be, as we simply wanted to chill out with some beers, David's amazing Curry Chicken with French Loaf, and dinner at Great Atlantis with the Catch of the Day.

Here we are launching my good old Ubin boat at Punggol Marina.

Our aims were simple, and we headed to our first spot, hoping for a Barramundi to cook for dinner. Meanwhile, I had my Carrot Cake breakfast and we settled down to sing some songs and tell stories of past adventures.

We moved around Ubin for a while, looking for a nice place to enjoy David's special Chicken Curry which he had specially prepared the night before, and found a very calm spot to enjoy our food and drinks. Oh, by the way, we landed some small Threadfin Salmon before lunch.

'He mai chiak, nang chiak!' was our refrain as we thoroughly enjoyed the picnic at sea. At some point in time, we started singing 'Ni Ze Me She De Wo Nan Guo' by Huang Pin You, and we sang it with feeling, truly. There's nothing like floating in a boat off Ubin's calm waters, enjoying some nice food, accompanied by Tigers, and singing some oldies.

Suddenly, Chng was on to a decent fish and we all cheered when dinner came into the landing net. It was a pretty decent Barramundi, or Kim Buk Lor.

Chng and David know that dinner has been settled.

Then we all started catching more Barramundis and a few more Threadfin when the current picked up. The action was rather good, but I lost two good Threadfin at boatside and one more huge fish which managed to cause me a friction burn when I held the line.

Even a simple picnic trip at Ubin produces decent quality fish.

Anyway, when we got hungry, we headed back to the marina for our highly anticipated La La Beehoon and Hong Kong Steamed Barramundi. With wild caught fish for dinner, who could ask for more?

Great Atlantis does a wonderful Hong Kong Steamed Live Wild Caught Barramundi.
