Most of the time driving along using LDP, I could not help but notice this big billboard King Crab opposite Kelana Jaya Station, which is not a stranger to most of us yet I have heard quite number of my friends that they like this restaurant as so far I have frequently dine at Fatty Crab located at SS24 but not until recently got invited for a review session by BBO to the restaurant.

I just love the ‘Achar’ that is well marinated, with sour and a bit spicy and its a great appetizer to start off with.

‘Signature Long Ribs’ is something that we enjoy along, when it was serve, the aroma of it is so tempting till I grab a rib to lick and start bite on the edge, its juicy and the meat is tender, a dish worth recommending.

At first I did not bother to eat this yet as it involves using hand and I was still trying out other dishes, it was not until Sunny start eating it, and seeing the way he it is so tempting till I could not resist and jump in to grab the crab.

When I dig to find the crab part that I want, my fingers already covered with the creamy sauce and when I lick it, OMG! I was like in heaven. It was so rich in taste, creamy and I just cannot stop licking the crab craw. The meat is solid hard which shows the sign its fresh. This is one of the best butter crab that I have had so far and surely its a higly recommended dish by me if you do go to this restaurant.

Then Dato requested us to try to eat with the ‘Fried Man Tou’ and without much hesitation, I just walap the man tau and dip it into the butter crab and I was in heaven, with the creamy thick sauce and crispy warm man tau . . . I just wish I could have more of it, and that makes Andrew want to have the last piece of man tau as he keeps staring.

During the dinner, we have a special honor guest that dine with us too which is the restaurant owner ‘Dato Marcus Kam’, a young man who graduated as the Chemical Engineer and with the MBA qualification that has burning desire in everything that he is interest in. He is also a speak in a lot of events, and we have learn a lot from him during the dinner, to him, a great business talk would not be perfect if without wine.

I could not deny that we had a great food and would be one of the best seafood restaurants to recommend in the area. *Non-Halal

Although I am from Penang, but if you are asking me to tour you around the mainland, I am sure I will be lost or drive till another small town (of course do not mention the main area), but I have heard my friend mention a famous Thai – KhunThai Village food is nearby her area and also from my cousins. It was not until to plan out to meet up one of my best friend that had not keep in touch for quite some time and I had arrange dinner over there. Do not know where the place is and met up with a few of my Penang friend went over to my best friend which she is getting married few months time.

We reach there pretty early, about 7-ish and there is whole big parking located behind the restaurant and when we drive in, we was amaze how big the parking space is and the amount of car had nearly occupied the whole area.

The restaurant is decorated in very kampung style, with dry leaves and hut in the middle.

The main area when the restaurant was first started, after 3 years in business they had expended tremendously that makes them one of a famous thai restuarant in the neighbourhood that had attracted quite alot of people to dine there.

First order of the night comes out with ‘Lumpanan Chicken’ RM18 (L). The chicken meat is soft yet the outer layer was cook till abit crust as it is suppose to be that soak the aroma of pandan.

‘Otak-Otak’ @RM20 (L) is one of my favorite of the night, with its santan mild curry flavor yet filled with fresh seafood and mix it with rice, is something that I cannot stop eating while talking. It looks big but nits not a big portion as in the middle of the plate there are a wood place below it to make it looks like big portion. Recommended~

Khuntai (10)

‘Deep Fried Prawns with Starch’ @RM12 (S) was recommended by my friend, deep fried to golden brown, crispy on the oustide yet dip it with the sauce given, taste much better by pulling the aroma out.

Khuntai (11)

‘Seafood’ @RM30 The soup base is quite lime sour, spicy and with fresh squid and clamps I would say not bad as I still feel the one in KL Ah Roy Thai taste much better.

Khuntai (12)

When ‘Seafood Tom Yam’ @RM 32 (L), the soup base is quite lime sour, spicy and with fresh squid and clamps I would say not bad as I still feel the one in KL Ah Roy Thai taste much better.

Khuntai (13)

‘Mee Hoon’ @RM2 that to accompany on the tomyam soup, is something not to be miss.

Khuntai (14)

‘Fried Kang Kung’ @RM 6 nothing much to brag on it.

Khuntai (15)

‘Fish with Spicy Sauce’ @RM34 is the spiciest among all the dishes we had. A few sips had made my lips look like sausage and tears also about to burst. The fish had been deep fried well, and the spicy soup base that accompany with it, makes it a challenge. Very spicy yet I still want to eat it. Then my best friend’s eat like, ha, spicy meh? No ah..she finish the whole thing like there is no chili in it.. -_-“ , then only get to know that the spiciness level she can withstand is seriously high!

Overall, I find the place is not bad and the price of the total bills comes to around RM200 which is reasonable. One advice, to avoid frustration is reach there before 7pm to avoid the crazy crowd.
