Restoran Robson Heights Fresh Seafood

This is a very popular restaurant located parallel to the Federal Highway.

The ambience leaves a lot to be desired but every time I come here, I am amazed at how packed and crowded this place can be.

I was there last weekend and the place was really abuzz. I could easily identify some well-known figures from the Malaysian political arena.

This is one of their signature dishes – claypot crab rice. The crab is always served in a separate plate, having done its part in the cooking process. I was told that the crab is placed over white rice so that as the cooking process goes on, the juice from the crab will flow onto the rice, thus making the rice fragrant & of course, delicious.

If you have never had this dish before, you would probably scratch your head wondering what this is. Well, its …believe it or not- super crunchy deep fried brinjals with meat floss on top.

We also had the following dishes:-

Restoran Bubur Goreng, Klang

Nothing is better than a piping hot bowl of porridge on a rainy evening. But this time our porridge was not plain old Chinese porridge. In fact, what we had here was fried porridge. So what makes this dish special?

Well, the porridge was fried (RM13)……yes, you read it correctly….FRIED, with lots of garlic, it was bursting with flavour and the yau char kuai on top made it even more tempting. Absolutely unforgettable!

The soft shell crab (RM36) was nice too.

We also ordered other dishes:-

Fried noodles (RM15) - I really like the way they arranged the 3 'balls' of noodles

Hokkien mee (RM15)

Stir fried tei wong miu (RM12)

Lala (RM22)

Restoran Ko Hua, Sekinchan

It was late in the afternoon when we drove past Sekinchan and we agreed that we needed to break our journey for afternoon tea.

Ko Hua is a corner lot shop and there were a few men busy chit-chatting and smoking away to while away their time.

We ordered fried noodle (RM9) and some fried squid (RM13). I love the deep fried squid, in what I would call a light, puffy batter, making them crackling on the outside yet tender on the inside. This made the squid easy to chew and of course toothsome.

SF Seafood, Sungai Buloh

I was at the Sungai Buloh Chinese School for an event and decided to pop into the restaurant next door for some food before heading home. You many choose to dine alfresco or dine in the air-

conditioned section. I chose the latter as it was sweltering hot.

We ordered this dish called the green dragon vegetable (RM8)  and salted vegetable soup (RM6).

This is salted eggs with pork (RM16) , a dish that is rather ‘new’ to me. I love the mild saltiness of the morsels of meat.

This is ikan jebong steamed with some ginger and lots of garlic (RM30) – the freshness of the fish made this dish simply heavenly.

Complimentary dessert -sliced watermelon

Restoran Crocodile Farm Seafood Village, Subang

The surroundings  conjure contentment as the restaurant is located within the greenery of the Subang Lake. Sitting here at the Crocodile Farm reminded me of eating in a kampong house. There is no air-conditioning but the  fans going in full swing are sufficient to make me feel comfortable.

Fresh coconut –we ordered 3 …and someone was in for a surprise as his turned out to be sour coconut juice – which implied that the fruit was rotten. He immediately asked for it to be replaced and the waiter willingly obliged. I can now confirm to you that there wasn’t any extra charge for the replacement.

Venison  – stir fried with spring onion, the meat was not only tender but very aromatic.

Stir fried yau mak with garlic –another wonderful dish whereby the vegetables were still crunchy and not withered, just the way I like it.

Tofu with snow fungus – certainly a delightful sight and a treat for the palate. Love it!

Steamed village chicken – done to perfection, just add some tasty gravy on top and this made me ask for another bowl of rice!

Steamed crab with eggs – when a single, huge and fresh crab is steamed, what I would expect will be sweet, tasty and fleshy meat ….and this certainly lived up to my expectations.

The crab was so good that I resented having to share this with the others!!

Cicerello’s, Fremantle

If you are wondering why I have not updated my blog for about a week, thats because I was out of the country.

About half an hour’s drive or so  from Perth is the village …oops CITY of Fremantle. Frankly I find it to be a little too tiny to be a city. Anyway Fremantle is a harbour due to its location which is just at the mouth of the Swan River.

I took a stroll along its streets and got the feeling that I was back in time….many of the streets will give you the feeling that you are somehow lost in the 19th century.

Well, maybe this is what charms most tourist and after an hours' walk I decided it was time to eat.

My choice was none other than Cicerello’s. Established in 1903, it prides itself as ‘Western Australia’s Number 1 Fish n Chips’. The view from the restaurant is simply mesmerising and the atmosphere is relaxing.

I chose to sit right next to the harbour. Many ships are docked there and birds are flying everywhere.

I ordered 2 types of food (yes..because I was starving after all the walking). The lady took my order  and I paid up. I expected to be given my food…but no, she gave me this device and told me to wait for my turn.

I went back to my table and after some time, the device  vibrated . So I  went back to the counter and collected my food.


I really loved the tasting plate. Everything was so fresh...….finished up everything…after all it costs a bomb (after conversion it would be over RM100!)

I didn’t finish the fish and chips (which by the way was ordered because I wanted to find out how WA’s best fish and chips tasted) perhaps because I was too full after eating the tasting plate and also because I am not that crazy for fish and chips.

Yik Kee, Karak

With the East Coast Highway, we no longer need to drive through Karak town in order to get to the East Coast. Today, I made a special trip there just for old times sake. My destination was none other than the famous Yik Kee restaurant. Although they have several outlets in the Klang Valley and Gohtong Jaya, nothing beats the original Karak Yik Kee.

I was happy to see that nothing much has changed in Yik Kee physically. I can find the toilets easily and th layout of the restaurant  was just as I remember it. There are 2 sections – air conditioned and non air conditioned. We chose to dine at the former as it was a rather hot afternoon.

A trip to Yik Kee is never complete without their signature sang har meen – and this was the first thing we ordered. Priced at RM46, this plate of noodles was …in one word, AWESOME!!

Fish paste soup (RM12) - this soup may not look appetisingm but trust me, the freshness of the fish can be tasted in every single fish ball.

This is oiled lettuce (RM8) – slightly oily though!

This BBQ duck (RM15)  served with a tangy sauce which certainly was a good complement. It was interesting to note that despite the way the duck was served, the skin was still crisp and the meat pleasingly firm. Love it!
