Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant KL Imbi - Traditional Style Dim Sum Dishes


There are not many Chinese restaurants in KL Golden Triangle that serve traditional Dim Sum. One such restaurant is the Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant located at along Kampung Pandan (next to TREC KL) with ample parking place. Founded in 1999, this restaurant has been around for more than 17 years started off from Jalan Imbi, building a reputation for its' delectable and delicious spread of Chinese dishes with live seafood where you can pick and choose the freshest seafood to be served.



Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant offer diners with an option of open dining and private function that has a banquet ballroom that can cater up to 2000 pax per function.



Our review for today is the Dim Sum selection. Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant offers dim sum recipe originating from both northern and southern regions of China, local specials and the Chef's own creations that can satisfy most Dim Sum aficionados.



As usual, for all of us, we started with the Steam Dim Sum selection. Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant offers an ala-carte Dim Sum Menu of more than 30 dishes which you can order. Upon an order being made; the server will serve you piping hot Dim Sum to your table. The first to arrive on the table is the Crystal Prawn Dumpling (RM 8.00).



followed by the Steamed Fish Paste (RM 6.50).



the Steamed Pork Ribs With Black Beans Sauce (RM 7.00)



Beancurd Rolls



the special made Shanghai Xiao Long Bao (RM 8.50).



and the Steamed Rice Roll With BBQ Pork (RM 8.50) to end our Steam Dim Sum selection.



Next section is the Fried & Baked Dim Sum which the first was the Deep Fried Special Prawn Roll
(RM 8.50) which came with a special dipping sauce.



Followed by the Crispy Golden Bag (RM 8.50)



Special Crispy Yam Puff (RM 7.00)



Deep Fried Carrot Cake (RM 7.50) topped with meat floss; a unique twist on this dish.



Crispy Cheese Prawn Roll (RM 8.50)



and the Deep Fried Prawn Roll With Golden Sauce (RM8.50) to end this Dim Sum section.



We decided to venture to try out some of the signature dishes that are offered by Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant; one of which is the Curry Grouper (RM12 Per 100gm). According to the manager, you can choose the type of fish or part of the fish (eg Fish Head For Curry and the fish body for steam) for this Curry. We were amazed at the first taste of this curry which was served with an assortment of condiment which includes; the brinjal, long beans, tofu puffs (tofu pok), ladies fingers, and tomatoes. Although we were already quite full from the Dim Sum selection; the curry sauce was so good that we cannot let the sauce goes to waste. We just had to order white rice which needless to say was the perfect way to savour delicious curries.



If you still have some stomach space, you can also order the special Roasted Duck (RM 48.00) - promotion price which was roasted to have a crispy skin with a nice meat texture. 



Although serving traditional Dim Sum, the desserts served at Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant begs to differ as the Dim Sum Chef has infused some western eastern fusion dessert which caught us a little surprised. The first desserts are the Sweet & Sour Jelly With Lime Sorbet (RM 8.00), this was the all round favourite; as it has a sweet, sourish and refreshing taste that aid our digestion from the overwhelming dishes that we had earlier.



Next, we had the Special Pomelo Sago Cream (RM 10.00)



followed by the Special Honeydew Sago Cream (RM 8.00)



and lastly the Tropical Mango Pudding (RM 10.00).


The Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant with banqueting facilities can host your next private function; if you are planning to get married; you can also call them for the latest Golden Dragon Boat Restaurant wedding package.

Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu KL - Popular Spicy Roast Fish and Seafood Cuisine



There is a current food trend for KLites these days which is the talk of the town; i.e. Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu. I have been yearning to try out this Fatt Kee Roast Fish and to find out the main reason for the continued popularity of this new restaurant. I was told that there is a queue for tables as early at 6pm; so we better be early there to get a table.


Finding Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu location is not difficult if you are familiar with Jalan Pasar (Pudu Electronic Street), you will see the RHB Bank along Jalan Pasar Pudu; at the corner shop, just walk to the side of the bank and you will see many people sitting by the roadside dining al-fresco. This is where it all started one year ago.


But, if you are not those that like to sit by the roadside, you can just head over to the newer shop just opposite the road where it is air conditioned, but you really have to be there early to get a spot in this place.


There is actually not many dishes that are offered from the Fatt Kee Roast Fish menu - it is just a 2 page listing of the different varieties of seafood cooked with the special corn and vegetable broth which is enhanced by the special chillies that are graded from A to G Level; A being the normal version; no chillies spices at all, while G (7th Level) is the top of grade spicy level.



We were advice by the Owner/Chef Fatt Kee that we should start with a lesser spicy level and upgrade to another level which is easier compared to; if you were to order too spicy and cannot finish then you will end up not able to eat it at all. With that in mind, our first pot is the 3 Combination Seafood Treasure which has the A Grade (normal).


The broth was very rich and flavourful especially with the Bean Sprout that was added in to cook the seafood. Together with fresh seafood which includes the prawns (2 variety ie. the Fresh Water and also the Sea Water Prawn); was very succulent and blended perfectly with the broth, White Squid, and Lala.


Our second pot; is none other than the signature Roast Fish Dish which comes with a spicy level B. For some including me this is just palatable without too much burning sensation, The fish that was chosen was the Garoupa fish which was fried to a nice crisp while the meat texture was firm. It is then cooked with the same broth as the earlier dish with the same condiments.


We were then told that we can go one level up on the spicy level and that is when we explore the D-Level; pictured above with floating chillies flakes. One of the unique features dining at Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu is that it comes with mini stoves that keep the food hot and flavourful, but the most important factor of using the stoves is to bring out the spicy level; as continued boiling will extract out the full spiciness of the chillies flakes. At Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu if you order the E-Level and above, there are a topped up charges that apply.


Our final pot of broth is called the Prosperous Treasure Pot (RM188.00) which consists a multitude of fresh and succulent seafood which is the Fresh Water Prawn (Sang Har), Sea Water Prawn (Giant Ming Har), White Squid, Scallop, Abalone, Mussel, and Lala.


This pot is served with a special swinging like mechanism cooking pot like those that we use for camping. The broth level here is at C-Level and it was just nice to me. Really loves each bite of the seafood which has a bouncy and firm texture. Eating these dishes also gave us a work out of sort; although we were seated in the air-conditioned dining area. Imagine if you are dining al-fresco.


Besides serving the Roast fish dishes, Fatt Kee also serves a Spicy Claypot Chicken (RM48.00 - Small and RM68.00 Big).



This chicken dish has a different spicy taste; we were told to eat the chicken first and when partially done, we can order fried bean curd, Enoki Mushroom (RM3.00) and Soft White To Fu (RM3.00) which can be added to the broth much like a steamboat style. You can also top up the chicken broth as you continue eating this dish. Goes fantastically well with white rice.


To complement your dishes there are only 2 side dishes that you can order; the first of which is the Fried Eggs (RM10.00).


and the second dish is the Fried Sweet Potatoes Leaves with garlic and chillies. Although simple in the cooking style, it was the perfect partner to all the seafood dishes that we had.



It is pretty straight forward to order your dishes at Fatt Kee; you can either order the fish combination or the 3 seafood combination or both. After that, you determine the spicy level of the broth and voila you are ready for your workout. Opening Hours: 5pm to 12am.


In summary, I believe the main reason for the continued popularity of Fatt Kee Roast Fish Pudu is the use of really fresh seafood coupled with a tasty spicy broth that leaves your taste buds wanting more of it. Do take note that Fatt Kee Roast Fish is only open from 5pm to 12am daily.
