We were early (as usual) and from start to finish, we were the only diners there. I reckon this restaurant sees more people later in the day especially at dinner.
Since I have never been here before and therefore not familiar with the menu, my brother did the ordering.
While waiting for our food to be served, I spotted this shop nearby.
I walked over and found that they are suppliers of Iberico pork (cooked and raw). You can visit their online shop here : mybarn.com.my.
Ah! Our first dish was this pot of lala soup. I'm sorry I don't have the proper names of the dishes. Although I am not crazy about lala, I found this soup very powerful kapow!
I could taste ginger and the lala made the soup so tasty. There was also a lot of wine in the broth. This got the thumbs up from mum too.
This plate of tiger prawns was superb!
They were very fresh and succulent. These prawns were very tasty and there was more than ample sauce coating these crustaceans and some more to pour on your rice.
For vegetables, we had the paku belacan (one of our favorites at Kar Hiong) and it was well executed. The sambal was delicious and the ferns were young and tender.
This steamed fish with soy sauce was another excellent dish. We were given the option to choose a fresh one from the aquarium or a frozen one, and being practical people (hah..hah...) we chose frozen.
No regrets as the fish was so good from the freezer or not.
I would not mind coming back here because all of us enjoyed the dishes that we had that day. Besides it's on our way back from the nursing home and parking is easy.
Good morning! Good that you found another haunt for your family meal other than Kar Hiong.
ReplyDeleteGood evening! Yes, a nice change from the usual place.
DeleteYa, this place is well known for its fresh seafood (I think I might have eaten here before a long time ago). That prawn dish is probably "si chap har" or soy sauce prawns (something I cook often at home coz it's so expensive to eat prawns outside these days). How much did that prawn dish cost? Nothing less than RM60 I reckon. The portions here look a bit small for your family's tank...lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I don't know the price because my brother paid for the lunch hah..hah... You are so right. My brother at the end of the meal remarked that we could have added another dish. LOL!
DeleteA long time ago I have been to lala chong when they were at subang, near subang airport. Tasty food ๐ good to know that they have maintained their standard after so many years.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea they were near Subang airport previously. The food is indeed very tasty and fresh.
DeleteIt's indeed a yummy spread of seafood lunch.
ReplyDeleteEven a non-seafood fan like me enjoyed it very much!
