The restaurant's name “Sisik Sehijau Dedaun” translates literary to “Scales as Green as Leaves” in English. This refers to fish scales, which highlights the restaurant's main culinary specialty: ikan bakar (traditional grilled fish) and fresh seafood. Sehijau (As green as) is a comparative term used to describe a vibrant green color. Dedaun (Leaves / Foliage) refers to the lush green leaves & nature surrounding the restaurant's scenic lakeside village location. When put together, the name poetically connects the restaurant's signature seafood and Malay traditional cuisine with its lush & cool green nature environment. (Instagram @sisiksehijausdedaun)

My wife, Zarina and I visited this cool authentic Sisik Sehijau Dedaun restaurant for lunch, specializing entirely in traditional Malay cuisine, it is renowned for being one of the largest and most comprehensive “kampung” (village) style eateries and grilled fish hubs in the Serdang & Putrajaya area. I like best the “Kopi 3 Negeri” drink, which is slow-cooked over a low charcoal flame for up to 8 hours to achieve a highly concentrated, nostalgic & aromatic flavor.
I am mesmerized with the scenic “Healing” atmosphere because the restaurant is situated by a lake at D'Lakeside MAEPS, which provides a relaxed, and restorative environment reminiscent of my home village setting, that allowing diners to enjoy delicious and comfort food with scenic views. It offers a wide spread ranging from morning breakfast staples: lempeng, lontong & ubi kayu to a massive, bustling lunch buffet spread like patin tempoyak and seafood.
