Kai’s Plato Kota Kemuning Seafood Restaurant - Special Steam Seafood Cuisine

Seafood is one of my all time favourite food that I can't live without although seafood especially crabs and prawns will contribute to my already mid to high cholesterol level. So it is no surprise that I venture to the new opening of Kai's Plato Kota Kemuning outlet located at No. 31G & 33G, Jalan Anggerik Aranda BG 31/BG, Kota Kemuning. 40460 Shah Alam Selangor.

Riding on the success of its flagship outlet, Kai's Plato Kota Damansara, they have decided to open a new outlet in Kota Kemuning to served their signature dishes to customers of this affluent and growing township.

Unlike your usual seafood restaurant, Kai’s Plato has a “hands and table” concept. No cutlery will be provided and customers will be enjoying their food with both hands. The idea of such interesting concept is to encourage communication and interaction between family and friends. Furthermore, they believe that seafood always tastes nicer when it is eaten using hands!

“Kai” meant ocean in Welsh, which coincidently is the middle name of their chef; while “Plato” is a philosopher but also meant plate by plate at the same time. In short, “Kai’s Plato” means Ocean’s Philosopher. Looking around the restaurant, you’ll see lots of beautiful scallop shells on the walls that are either painted or written with messages by their customers.

Kai’s Plato has a simple menu that consists of simple starters and their signature seafood platter. Depending on the size of your group, Kai’s Plato offers 3 different platters for you to choose from. The platter would be served in a pot with 3-4 tiers with different seafood to be found at each tier.

Deep fried calamari in their signature batter, the Crispy Calamari is a good appetizer or side order to have.

Sandy Crabby is a Fried baby crablets that are coated with salted egg yolks. You will love the crunchy and the savoury taste which is a perfectly paired with a nice glass of wine or cold beer.

Kai’s Chili Mussels



Cajun Fried Shrimp

The seafood Jumbo Platter (6 people) came with a five layer of a steam pot with a total of 11 combinations of seafood. The first three layers have different types of seafood and the bottom layer is the aromatic seafood soup. At Kai’s Plato, they practices “hand and table” dining, so no cutlery would be provided. All you have to do is, use the tongs to pick up the seafood, place it on the table and start digging in with your hands. A bucket will be provided for you to dispose of the seafood shells.

The first layer consists of Fish , Abalone, Oyster , and cabbages. These were intentionally served as the top layer as its' meat texture is more tender, requires less steaming and easier to eat.

A little bit peeling and de-shelling would be required for the second layer, which consists of Big Clam , Shrimps , Squid, and Bamboo Clam served on a platter of cabbages at the bottom, which is used to encapsulate all the juices from the seafood.

The third layer is the Third Layer : Mussel , Fresh Water Big Head Prawn, and Scallop. Loves the Roe of the big prawns.

The fourth layer is an impressive layout of succulent steamed mud crab, Shell Fish and Slipper Lobster with Sou hoon. Both the crab and slipper lobster have very firm flesh and you could taste the natural sweetness of the seafood.

After all the feasting you can now sit back and enjoy a bowl of aromatic seafood soup that is packed with umami flavours with Angel Hair pasta or Enoki mushroom to savour this seafood enriched broth.

Come September 2016 Kai's Plato is planning to launch its version of Louisiana seafood boils with four of their signature sauce. Each serving of the seafood is cooked with potatoes , carrots , corns and refillable rice. The first of it is the Pineapple Sauce - our most popular choice.

Garlic Butter sauce - needed some improvement on this sauce.

Cajun Sauce

Sambal Cili Sauce - a little too spicy for us.

The second mains is the German Style Meat Loaf - it is a traditional homemade meatloaf topped with a fried egg and bacon, served with Asian salad and fries.

Wayne's Cafe Sri Petaling - A Hidden Hainanese Western and Oriental Delights

In the early 50, they were many Hainanese Chef that can cook very delicious Western dishes. The reason being was most of the Hainanese usually work as Chef which was taught how to cook western dishes by the colonial master. I am one of those that frequent Hainanese Western food in the restaurant like the old Coliseum (Jalan TAR), Le Coq (Ampang) and Yut Kee (Jalan Dang Wangi) among others that I have lost touch with.

With that taste lingering, we had a review at the Wayne's Cafe Sri Petaling located 10, Jalan Radin Bagus 6, Sri Petaling, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that claimed to serves some of these authentic Hainanese western delights.

Wayne's is the name of the owners' son and the setup is one of the modern cafe settings that is great for a get-together or family dining.

The owner has gotten Uncle Phua - a retired chef of 77 years old who has over 50 years western culinary experience to assist in Wayne's cafe menu which consists of Uncle Phua signature dish which is the English Style Roast Pork.

Our dinner started off with the order of the Golden Meat Ball (RM18.00). It is a deep fried homemade meatball recipe that has its origin. It is served with the freshly made Hainanese Chilli Sauce (the Hainanese Chicken Rice Chilli Sauce) which are made on a daily basis.

The next appetiser is by the owner family recipe Choon Kuen Spring Roll (RM18.00). This Spring roll is unlike the normal one that uses the popiah skin but instead it uses the pig caul fats. When I was a child, these kind of spring rolls were quite common; nowadays it is very hard to find one that takes quite an effort to make. Eating this spring rolls remind me of those days. This family recipe uses the right amount of ingredient in the filling and is steamed before it is coated with a batter and deep fried to a crunchy, crispy texture.

English Style Roast Pork

For the Mains, we had the Uncle Phua Signature Roast Pork (RM25.00). Using Uncle Phua secret recipe is to marinade the Pork Belly and the special treatment of the meat. It is then rolled up and tied like a log and after one day it is then put in the oven with a combination of slow gentle heat to tenderise the meat, plus a shorter blast at a higher heat to crisp up the skin. The end result, you get is a juicy meat while having a crispy skin that married well with the apple sauce.

The next Mains is the Spanish Pork Chop (RM25.00). Compare to other Pork Chop, the meat that is used is the Pork Neck meat, which has a very small amount of fats while its' meat has a very tenderly texture. The Pork chop is grilled to the right char; is served with a slice of grilled apple and served with brown sauce.

Besides serving Western Food, Wayne's Cafe Sri Petaling does offer diners a number of oriental selection for you to savour in. Among these are Fried Rice with Roast Pork, or another one of Uncle Phua signature noodle which is the Fried Tung Fun with BitterGourd. But, for today, we tasted the Fried Kwai Fa Mien (RM15.00), this is another one of the dishes from the owners family.

So, what is so special about this Fried Kwai Fa Mien? For one, there are a lot of ingredients that are used to cooked this Yee Mee; which is pork strip, diced prawns, bean sprout, onion, cabbage and most important eggs that are fried together with a special sauce and topped with the strip of lettuce. The Wok Hei was just great as we can smelt the flavourful aroma of the noodle and its ingredients.

To finish off our meal, my partner had the Wayne's Signature Coffee (RM11.00). The coffee beans used at Wayne's Cafe Sri Petaling is from Lavazza.

While I had the Affogato (RM11.00) to end my review.
