We arrived about 7:45pm and the restaurant already packed with people.
Look at the row of aquariums, with various type of live seafood from eels, lobsters, fish and etc. Some may cost you a bomb ...
So, are we ready to eat ...
Starter, the Fried Porridge (RM10). It smells good but taste a bit salty. Could be due to the cutterfish shred. I'm still prefer Fried Porridge from Serdang, Kedah.
Next, 'Nam Ju' fried chicken wing (RM6). My kids love it.
Butter-fried mantis prawn, with salted egg yolk, lots of egg yolks ... the price is RM45, ouch! Yup, quite expensive as it used 2 big fresh mantis prawns instead of normal small size prawn meat. My recommendation to eat with rice, otherwise a bit salty.
Deep fried tauhu (RM8). This homemade is recommended.
Steamed La-La, served with chilli and lemon (RM10). Really increase your appetite.
If you like to try it, here is the address.

read this blog in forwarded email form, went to try with my friend last month. Conclusion: Worst ever dining experience!
highlights:-
1. the place is always FULL with customer from opening to closing. You know why? Because everybody has to wait MINIMUM 30mins from order to dish serving. My encounter, waited 50mins before first dish is served!
2. losing my patient, i went to counter to pay my drinks and plan to split. Cashier refused and the cook looked at me like "WTF"
3. Cook tag-line "we cook what, you eat what, WTF". Story line: my friend ordered "Kam Heong (cantonese) bamboo clamp", but the one served looks wet and no curry at all. I asked the waiter "what is this?". "sweet and sour bamboo clamp!" she replied. Then i asked "What did we order?". "Kam Heong bamboo clamp!" she replied without any hesitation. "Well, our cook may be want to cook all the same (meaning dont want to wash the wok so many times), sooo..." the waiter add on and looking at me as if i need to take it or leave it, WTF! I tell her "I CANNOT ACCEPT THIS!". So, she took it back to the cook. After 5mins, she came back with the same plate of "thing", just re-wok again with some chillies and still wet like "sweet and sour!" WTFFFFFFF!
4. 2 crabs fried with salted egg yolk, 2 steamed mantis prawn, 1 plate of so called "Kam Heong + sweet & sour" bamboo clamp cost us RM130!
Well, if you can wait, dont mind what being served and dont mind pay more, why NOT!
oh ya, if you want to try seafood, might as well go to Long Xiang (Seafood) Restaurant 龍鄉海鮮, just right across the street opposite Ah Keat Seafood.
