Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya 螃蟹哥哥 - Crabalicious Meal With A Twist

Malaysian are very fond of eating crabs, many will travel far and wide in search of the best crab dishes to taste. Recently they have been a raving of special crab dishes in Puchong. We got to try out Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya located at 85, Jalan Kenari 20, Bandar Puchong Jaya, 47100 Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia to explore on this.

For folks in another part of town, frets not as there is another outlet in Kepong which is where it all started i.e. Fei Fei Crab Seafood Restaurant Kepong KL. While for folks in Cheras can go to the Crab Generation at Taman Len Sen, Cheras to enjoy more than 12 different type of cooking style for your crabs.

There is no fancy ambience or decor to welcome you to Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya just a simple setup but in the evening, you can dine al-fresco outside the restaurant too.

Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya has many crab recipe which is concocted by its owner's and here we get to try 2 of his latest creation which the first is the Milky Salted Egg Yolk Butter Crab (set of 2 - RM98.00 for XL size); in Cantonese (Ham Sap Hai) - a very cheeky name if you know your Cantonese well. Loves the taste of the salted eggs and the slight spicy curry taste from the use of the dried chillies and curry leaves . Above all the freshness of the crab was a real deal.

The next one is a more unique which is called the Milo Butter Sauce Crab (set of 2 - RM98.00 for XL size). This has a strong aroma of Milo when it arrives at the table. On tasting, you will be able to taste the sweet Milo with a slight hint of buttery taste which was added to cook this dish. You can also order the special XXXL size crab which is at RM153.00 for 2 crabs.

Our last Crab dish is the Steamed Crab with Eggs (set of 2 - RM98.00 for XL size) - For me this is the best way to enjoy a fresh crab, no sauce, just plain natural sweetness from the crab meat. Simple steamed eggs at the bottom of the dish and topped with sprinkles of Chinese wine to give it a nice aroma and flavour. From the Crab B Restaurant Puchong menu; you can find that they do offer a few other crab species for you to choose from; one notable one is the live French Crab.

Besides serving delicious Crab dishes, Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya also offers diners with a la carte seafood dishes that you can order which can go with rice. The first is the Lala Spinach Soup (RM25.00) The Lala is of the meaty version while the additional spinach as a greens' to a seafood gives the broth a strong slightly spicy flavour which goes well with a bowl of rice.

The second dish is the Deep Fried Fish With Special Home Made Sauce (market price and also depends on the type of fish). Here we had a Red Snapper (you can choose to have a Grouper, Senangin or even a Siakap to be cooked in this style) which was deep fried to a crunchy texture on the outside while the inside white meat were firm and matched to the sauce which is made out of chillies padi, dry prawns, fermented bean paste and garlic were another dishes that we savoured with the white rice.

The third seafood dish from the menu is the Thai Tom Yam Crayfish (Hae Go or the Lai Liu Har) (RM20.00). Covered with the Tom Yam flavoured batter and fried to a crisp and served with a dipping sauce.

Next is the Japanese Style Deep Fried Pork Ribs on a Mayo Sesame dressing (RM20.00). We like the taste of the sauce which has a tinge of spicy taste.



The final dish to goes with our rice is the Steam Tofu With Minced Pork and Chillies Sambal Petai (RM15.00). We have eaten many Steam Tofu with Minced Pork, but this dish really takes it to the next level and it was just great eaten with the white rice for those that loves the taste of the Petai.

Crab B Restaurant Puchong Jaya also offers 2 special lunch sets series; the first is the single dish set (RM9.90) with more than 20 selection from rice to noodles. An order of any set will come with a free drinks, ice-cream and soup of the day. The sets that we tried pictured above is the Butter Chicken Rice set.

Hugos By Modestos Damansara Perdana @ Hotel QLIQ

There are many choices of food at Empire Damansara, but to find one that you can impress your date or client, the choices can be limited. We found the Hugos By Modestos located at A-G-01, Empire Damansara, Qliq Damansara, Jalan PJU 8/8A, Damansara Perdana, 47820 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia meet this criterion.

Hugos By Modestos Empire Damansara is a bar cum restaurant that is located at the QLIQ Hotel. Patrons can choose to have a drink and snacks at the bar which has nightly special live performance.

While the dining area located at the end of the bar is a better option for a casual, quiet dining experience. The food that is served from Hugos By Modestos menu are the popular western dishes.

On entry to the restaurant dining area, you will be greeted with a modern setting that exudes a nice ambiance with special private dining area for you and your guest to dine in.

Our dinner review started off with a Western Starter which is a Creamy Sauteed Chicken Breast (RM29.00). The chicken that is used in the restaurant is of the Free Range Chicken species. Free Range Chicken will have a firmer texture and better taste too. The chicken is cooked with a creamy garlic and paprika sauce giving a hint of spicy taste to this creamy chicken dish. Served with purple cabbage, cherry tomatoes with a light sprinkle of balsamic vinegar.

The second starter/appetizer is the Bruschetta which is served with Diced Tomatoes, Garlic and Olive Oil on a Garden Farm Bread (RM17.00). A nice little crunchy start to your meal.

For Soup, we had the Zuppa Di Pesce Misto (RM18.00) which is a Mixed Seafood in Prawn Bisque. We like the strong brothy flavour of the bisque as it was nicely matched with the seafood which consists of prawns, squid, and clams. Will be perfect with a piece of toast or butter bun to go with the soup.

Next on, from the Pasta section, we were served with the Spaghetti Aglio E Olio (RM22.00). The pasta was cooked with toasted garlic, fresh chillies with a dash of extra virgin oil and Prawns. The dish would have been even better had the Chef uses a bigger size prawns for this dish.

For the Mains, we had the Scaloppini Di Pollo Al Funghi (RM40.00) which in essence is a Pan Fried Chicken Breast With Creamy Mushroom Sauce. The chicken breast has a firm meaty texture and was well paired with the brown mushroom sauce. Served with mashed potatoes and boiled cauliflower, carrots and broccoli as the sides.

The last course before dessert is a Pizza which is Tonno E Cipolle (RM22.00) - a tuna based thin crust pizza that is very crispy and crunchy, topped with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and onions. An extra topping of cheese would have taken this to a higher level.

For dessert, we had the Tiramisu Modestos (RM22.00) which has a layer of Mascarpone, sponge cake and topped with sprinkles of Espresso Coffee. Served on the sides are white fresh cream with a dollop of chocolate sauce.

Overall, Hugos By Modestos Damansara Perdana offers diners a great choice of western cuisine for you to choose from and is a nice place for you to dine in a very relaxed setting.

Sanoook Thai Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid West - Fusion Thai Japanese Cuisine

Fans of Thai and Japanese Food can take heed on this newly open Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid located at Lot 4 Ground Floor Sunway Pyramid Hotel West Bandar Sunway 47500 Subang Jaya Selangor.

Sanook which means 'Fun" in the Thai language sets the tone and theme for this restaurant.  To go one step further they have added an extra 'O' to the Sanook word which to them means 'Friendship'. In short, it means having fun with friends.

As a new sibling from the popular Thai food group i.e Chakri Palace Group, set the tone for the Thai Chef based on his secret recipe to craft out new fusion Thai food dishes with Japanese creative culture and presentation. This will set the tone for all its current and future dishes that will be featured at Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant.

Ordering for your food at Sanoook Thai Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid is using an interactive menu where at every table there is a tablet that lets you self order your drinks & dishes and even gets you your bills. No need to hello here and hello there anymore.

Our review started off with the 4 Season Platter (RM 37.90). A nice snack to start off a meal which has 4 different type of snacks which is the Crispy Calamari, Salmon Cream Croquette, Vegetarian Spring Rolls and the tasty Thai Fish Cake with Thai Chicken Ball. The snack was fried to a deep crisp and came with several sauce for dipping.

The next dish is the Sanoook Salad Japanese Cucumber Wrapped With Salmon, Avocado & Baked Apple (RM 29.90). A very refreshing salad to whet your appetite as the salad was filled with a combination of fresh tomatoes, leafy greens, avocado, baked apples, rolled salmon and dashes of sesame mayo sauce.

You can't miss out on the next dish which is Tom Yum Soup With River Prawn (RM 23.90), a signature dish at Chakri Palace. At Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid; the way to serve this soup came with a Japanese twist which the soup is served in sake bottle instead.

This is then followed by the Pan Fried Tuna Steak With Spinach & Mixed Mushroom Served With Teriyaki Sauce (RM 28.90).

For BBQ fans, Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid serves a few different set skewers; the first of which is that we tasted is the Salmon Belly Skewer With Lime Chili Sauce (RM 77.90). Loves the melting fats of the salmon belly which were matched with a tinge of  Lime sauce.

The second skewers set is the Chicken Skewer With Massaman Sauce (RM 32.90). Masaman sauce is a Thai concoction of onions, coconut milk, peanuts, and chilies. Much like the taste of a mild satay sauce.

For non-meat eaters, you can opt for the Vege Skewers set (Tomato, Corn, Zucchini, Capsicum, leek) With Sanoook Sauce (RM 28.90).

At Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid, as a Japanese fusion setup, they do offers a few varieties of sushi, the first of which that we tried is the Soft Shell Crab With Thai Mango Chili Sauce Sushi (RM 34.90).

or if you like it with a spicy treats, you can opt for the Tuna With Tom Yum Sauce Sushi (RM 27.90).

or the multi coloured Sanoook's Rainbow with Sesame Sauce  (RM19.90) - A very special sushi with a multitude of colour ingredients forming the rainbow colours.

Also lastly, one of the other special fusion dish that you probably can't find elsewhere is the Chicken Burger With Teriyaki Sauce (RM 17.90). The bun has been replaced with the compact rice which is shaped as a bun and topped with a seaweed sheet. 

For desserts, we like the Fresh Durian Ice-Cream With Coconut Milk (RM 21.90). The Durian flesh makes it a real wonders and was perfectly matched with Vanilla ice cream intercepted with the creamy coconut milk. We really like the combination that makes this dessert; a cold and sweet end to one's meal.

The last dessert is the Thai Volcano (RM 18.90). Quite similar to the Malaysian ABC but with a slight variation in the ice shaving. Instead of the normal ice, the shaving is from a milk tea ice.  The end result is similar to having an ABC with Teh Tarik.

For health enthusiast, Sanoook Thai-Japanese Restaurant Sunway Pyramid offers a Salad Jaar Takeaway which comes in 4 flavours i.e A Full Feeling Soba (RM12.90), Orchard Muesli (RM12.90), All-Rounder Kick Boxer (RM14.90) and Omega Goodness (RM14.90).
