Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restoran Ampang - As Fresh As It Can Get Crabs and Seafood.

For fans of fresh seafood especially Crabs, now you can get to savour it all at Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restoran Ampang located at No 18, 1 Avenue, 68000 Ampang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

The main mission of Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restaurant Ampang is to serve top quality imported fresh seafood to its patrons. Decking off the restaurants are its array of salt water fish tank where you get to choose the crabs, lobsters, oysters, different varieties of top grade fish like Grouper, Red Snapper, Jade Perch, Sea Bass(Siakap) and more.

One of the top prized Crabs available from Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restoran Ampang is the French Crabs which is still swimming in the aquarium. You can also pre-book the King Crab in advance if you plan to savour on this crustacean.

The restaurant has been opened for the past 5 months and is very well lite and cleanliness is of prime importance to create a nice family dining experience.

Our review started with a special top grade French Scallop as our appetizer (RM30.00 per pcs). The juicy and succulent scallop are blanched and served with an in-house made sauce called the Sexy Lady Sauce; a concoction of garlic, chillies and local basil. The firm texture of the scallop was nice to bite in and was well paired with the dipping sauce. This dipping sauce is a great combo with any order of the seafood that is poached or steamed.

Next, we had the star of the night which is the French Crab with Mongolian Sauce (RM13.90 Per 100g). The French crab is first fried on its own before stir frying with the Mongolian sauce.  According to the Chef, the standard Mongolian sauce uses only Goat Butter but as the taste could be very musky, he replaces it butter and to added in the black pepper to give it a spicy taste to suit the local palate which can appreciate a little spice to the crabs. You can also order your other seafood but use this sauce as the cooking style.

After that, we had the Steam Assam Fish (RM7.00 per 100g). The fish that was chosen was the Red Snapper which was still swimming minutes ago. The fish meat was indeed the right texture and you are able to taste the natural sweetness of the fish. The Assam sauce was just the right balance of sourish and spicy level. We had to call some white rice to eat with this addictive sauce.

To go with your dishes, one can also order the Scallop Sauce fried rice (RM16.00 - Large); a signature dish at Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restaurant Ampang. The scallop sauce is in-house made too and garnished with cubes of chicken meat, prawns and squid fried to a perfect Wok Hei, it was a delicious fare by itself. Note; this dish is a little spicy but you can request it to be milder if your tolerant to spicy level is at a minimum.

This is followed by the Chillies Mussel. The New Zealand Green mussels are stir fried with a special chilli paste that is made out of garlic, dried chillies and the dry shrimp to give it a pungent chillies fragrant and aroma.

and for the Vegetables; we had the Broccoli with Sea Asparagus and Pacific Clam. The blanched Broccoli are laid on the plate while the sea asparagus together with pacific clams, mushroom are braised with a special sauce and laid on the plates. This is a new dish which is set to be introduced to the standard menu.

Our last dish of the night is the Salted Eggs Mud Crab (from Rm8.90 per 100g). The commendation of the Chef in producing such a sandy salted eggs coating was superb. Every little inch of the crab is fully coated with the salted eggs which make eating this crab a tasty and delicious affair.

The first thought of Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restoran Ampang is really the quality of the fresh seafood. The aftertaste of the natural sweetness and its texture lingers on our taste-buds even as we are writing this blog post.

Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang - Specialty Chinese Dishes and Seafood

Kajang is famous for its satay offering and most people that go to Kajang usually flock to those Satay stalls. But this time around we are not going for its' Satay but instead to try out a popular Chinese restaurant which is the Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang located at 17-20, Jalan KP 1/2, Taman Kajang Prima, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia, a Chinese Restaurant that started way back in 2001 which offers wedding banquet and authentic Chinese and seafood dishes in Kajang.

Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang has recently renovated its restaurant to offers a better dining experience and ambiance that befit the growing demand and upmarket offering for Chinese and Seafood cuisine in Kajang.

With the refurbished setup, the Chef has also come out with a few new dishes to entice its customers taste buds as the preferred choice for Chinese Food and wedding banquet in Kajang.

For more privacy dining, Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang also offers its customer with 10 private room dining with karaoke facilities; each of these rooms is named after the popular Chinese Dynasty. Some of the rooms can be combined to hold mini private banquet of up to 60 pax. The ground floor hall can accommodate up to 40 tables while its first floor up to 60 tables.

Our review started off with the restaurant signature dish which is the Padi Fried Crab Rice RM48.00 (Medium) and RM68.00 (Big). The rice is first fried with Pandan Leaf, Lemon Grass, and Eggs before setting into the lotus leaf and sent to the steamer. It is then topped with two type of crab meat i.e flower and mud crab meat. This method of cooking makes the rice very fluffy and flavourful. We like the fact that the crab meat is extracted out to make eating this crab dish a breeze; especially those that loves crab but does not like the process of getting to the crab meat.

This is then followed by the Marmite Dong Bo Meat (RM28.00). The pork belly is first fried and then braised with a special sauce to soften the texture especially the fat layer of the belly. When the orders are made, it is then cut to the right portion and is then coated with a marmite sauce that caramelized into the pork belly meat. The result, tender meat with a distinct marmite aroma and taste. Wonderful with a bowl of white rice. This Dong Bo meat is best paired with Red Wine.

Another signature dish of the Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang is the Sweet and Sour Tilapia (RM4.00 per 100gm). The notable difference is the presentation of this dish. Normally for other restaurants, the chef will deep fry the whole fish and served with the sauce but here, the chef, has sliced out all the fish meat and deep fried it separately, this makes for a great presentation and is very easy to eat. The other plus points are that the sauce is set on the base which is good for those that would enjoy the crunchiness of the fried fish meat.

The next dish is the 2 Varieties BeanCurd (RM20.00). The first bean curd has a Japanese influence; in that, it uses the Japanese Egg Taufoo which is mixed with minced fish paste and mushroom. It is moulded before being steamed and fried to a crisp, giving a texture of crispy outside but soft on the inside. The other style has the fried beancurd with a Thai style sauce that gives a refreshing sourish and tangy taste.

The last signature dish is the Fried Lobster with Curry Powder (RM23.80 per 100 gm). These Boston lobster are not the frozen type; you can see them swimming in the aquarium on the ground floor. It is as fresh as you can get. The Lobster are first lightly fried to give it a more reddish hue and then cooked in a special flavourful curry concoction. The firm texture of the lobster is infused with buttery curry taste and an aromatic broth, such that it melts in the mouth and leave a satisfied savoury aftertaste.

The new dishes which will be featured in the standard menu is the Deluxe Mixed Vegetables. Using fresh Wai San (Burdock) which is rich in iron was indeed a surprise to us as normally Wai San is favoured as an ingredient for soup. Stir fried with a combination of fresh diced prawn meat, peanuts, and kale; we find it a nice combination with the different texture that gives our taste bud an experience of the real taste of its' original ingredients.

The last dish is the Vietnamese Style Prawn Cracker. Inspired with the Japanese Tempura; 3 giant prawns are first sliced in the middle and then layered with a thin layer of seasoned batter and sent for deep frying. The result is a nice crunchy texture with the succulent prawn meat in every bite. It is like the Cucur Udang but with giant prawns. Although the look of this dish is simple, the taste was extremely delicious.

Overall the dishes serves at Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang scored top marks in terms of presentation, taste and prices. The Chef at the restaurant takes great pains to ensure that each dishes are presented to make eating it a simple affair without much fuss.

As the current trend is for one to enjoy their meal with wine; Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang also offers a wine selection which is hand-picked by the restaurant owner that you can choose from to be paired with your dishes.

But for those healthy fans; Fortuna Palace Seafood Restaurant Kajang also has their own Juice Bar that serves freshly squeezed juices.

Aroi Dee Thai Restaurant Putrajaya Palm Garden Hotel IOI Resort

Helmed by Chef Seeri; a very experience Thai Food Chef at Aroi Dee Thai Restaurant Putrajaya located at the new setup on the 8th Floor of the Palm Garden Hotel IOI Resort Putrajaya, Selangor will once again; tantalise our taste bud for its delicious Thai dishes.

With the new setup, Aroi Dee Thai Restaurant is able to offer an elegant Thai Dining experience in Putrajaya where you can entertain your guests to authentic Thai cuisine.

With a scenic view; you can also dine at the outdoor balcony area where you will be rewarded with a breezy and nice backdrop of the KL skyline from afar especially in the late evening.

Our first dish is the Sago based appetiser Saku Sai Gai (RM 22.00). The filling is a minced chicken cooked in a special sauce. This dessert resembles the Chinese Sesame Balls but instead of deep frying it is steamed. It is best eaten hot as it tends to be chewier as its gets colder.

Followed by the Thai Pandan Leaf Chicken Gai Hor Dai Toey (RM 22 For 4 pcs). We like the frying style as it is not over fried, this gives a pandan enhanced flavoured with a nice soft crisp while the chicken meat which is already flavoured is succulent and tender.

We can't miss the next dish which is the Seafood Tom Yam Kung, Chef has a special skill that makes this soup very authentic in terms of the flavours with the right balance of spicy and sour level which get us going for the second and the third until the last drop.

Another signature dish of the Chef is the Steamed Sea Bass (Siakap) Thai Style. Using simple condiments such as lime, chopped garlic, coriander root and birds eye chilli to make the sauce and garnished with coriander leaves and scallions; this dish left us spellbound. Coupled with the fresh meat texture, it was a real delight to taste this dish.

Our order of rice is the Kao Pad Sapparod Pineapple Fried Rice with Seafood & Chicken Floss (RM 27.00). Nicely decorated in the pineapple shell, it looks really good. The fried rice has a lot of little chunks of fresh pineapple to give you that natural sweet sourish taste to the rice.

Besides offering some of the authentic Thai dishes, Chef Seeri which has a vast experience has concocted some new fusion dishes, this time, for us to sample on. He decided to implore some Japanese fusion into the Udon Pad Prik Gung Nam Yead Spicy Braised Udon Noodle with Seafood (RM 38.00). The springy texture of the udon was fried with the special Thai sauce and perfectly paired with the bouncy firm texture of the prawns, squid and mussels.

And the next dish is infused with some Western influence, which is the Pad Neau San Hua Kap Kway Teow aka. Pan Fried Tenderloin Beef served with Kway Teow (RM 28.00). We like the texture of the tenderloin beef as its' meat which is pan fried was coated with a nice sauce while the meat was very tender and juicy.

2 Special Thai Dessert are set for us to taste; the first of which is the Sangkaya Phek Pumpkin Egg Custard (RM 15.00). The pumpkin is first steamed to a soft creamy texture and moulded in. It is then topped with thick coconut cream that gives it a Sangkaya flavoured.

and the last one is the  Sangkaya Phek Yam Egg Custard (RM 15.00). Similar to the Pumpkin but the change is the Yam filling. For the Yam, it should be eaten when it is still hot as it gets harden once it comes to room temperature.

So, if you are a true fan of Thai Food, you will definitely be able to enjoy this delicious Thai dish offering made specially by Chef Sree Aroi Dee Thai Restaurant Palm Garden Hotel IOI Resort.
