Puchong Food : Ocean Seafood Restaurant 海洋海鲜餐厅 - Delicious and Affordable Seafood



Ocean Seafood Restaurant 海洋海鲜餐厅 in Puchong Selangor has been opened for the more than 2 years. We were invited to taste out some of the new seafood and popular dishes served at this restaurant.


Ocean Seafood Restaurant 海洋海鲜餐厅 Address
21, Jalan Puteri 2/3 , Bandar Puteri,47100 Puchong
Puchong

Located in the bustling Puchong township with a simple no frill decor, we were quite impressed by the quality and portions of the serving.


For fans of seafood and especially crabs, you can have a selection of more than 9 different cooking style starting from the popular Butter Salted Egg Mud Crab with Roe  咸湿膏蟹 RM95 for the XL Size.


For this order of ours, the crab roe was aplenty while it's meat was flaky with a nice soft tender texture and taste of fresh white crab meat that is paired with the buttery salted eggs. You can also choose the meat crab if you are not a fan of crab roe.


Next on is the Spicy Buttermilk Crab 香辣奶皇肉蟹 RM50 for the Medium Size crab which its gravy superbly; paired to an order of the Fried Mantou 炸馒头 (RM6). Needless to say we had to order a second round of this bun to slurp up to the last drop of the sauce.


Prices for the Crab varies from the different sizes of the crabs that you like. You can check out the board which list out the daily prices before placing an order.


After that we tasted the Mantis Prawn with Dry Chili 宫保虾糕 RM15. This mantis prawn meat are battered and deep fried before being stir fried with dry chillies, onions and spring onions. This dishes is better eaten with a bowl of steaming white rice.


For fans of clams, you can try out the Lala with Superior Soup 上汤啦啦 RM18


The next dish is a real value for money dish which is called the XO Seafood Noodle Pot XO海鲜粉煲 RM19.90 which comes with a full small size crab and loaded with other seafood i.e. brown squid and lala too. You can order this Noodle Pot with a choice of Meehoon or Yee Mee.


Besides serving seafood dishes, Ocean Seafood Restaurant 海洋海鲜餐厅 also offer a variety of other dishes for you to choose from. Starting out, you can order the  Pork Ribs  一支骨 
咸湿膏蟹  RM32. The spare ribs is roasted to a crisp, topped with a special sweet tangy sauce that gel up to the succulent fatty meat of the ribs and perfectly paired with a bowl of steaming white rice also a fried mantou is served on the side to slurp the sauce.


Next, you can order the Kampung Chicken with Rice Wine 黄酒焖鸡 RM32. This dish uses the Yellow Rice wine and the black fungus as its secondary ingredient. The choice to use the Kampung Chicken was perfect as the meat texture for this variety of chicken is firmer and the taste is more intense.  I would have love this dish even more if the rice wine were a little bit more stronger.


Our last meat dish is more of an appetizer which is Swiss Chicken Wings 瑞士鸡翅 RM15. Deep fried to a nice crunchy crisp and cooked with an in-house sweet sauce; it resembles the taste of Korean Fried Chicken, this can be your order to start off your meal or as a starter with a glass of cold beer.


For the non-meat and non-seafood dishes you can start by ordering the Toufu with Pumpkin Sauce 金瓜豆腐 RM15. The bean-curd is homemade and bedded with the in-house made smooth pumpkin sauce that is cooked with Shimeji Mushroom and crab meat.


or the combination of the Mixed Hong Kong Kai Lan  鸳鸯芥蓝  RM15. The kale leaf are shredded and fried while the trunk of the Kale is pan fried.


Lastly you can also taste the Lotus Fried with Winged Bean 莲藕四棱豆 RM12. One of the thing about the lotus root and the winged beans(four angle beans); it has a nice crunchy feel when you bite into it.

Kuala Kubu Baru Food: Restoran 98海鲜饭店 | Part 3 Rawang Kuala Kubu Bharu Food Trip


After our excursion to the Fish Sanctuary and the Selangor Dam in Kuala Kubu Baru, we headed back to town for dinner. We were made to understand that dinner is served quite early, so we headed straight to Restoran 98 aka Nine Thy Eight located at 33 & 34, Jalan Dato Balai, Kampung Tun Abdul Razak, 44000 Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor.


There are not many restaurants in Kuala Kubu Baru that are opened on Saturday evening. Anyway, this restaurant was recommended by our friend to try it out.


Our first order is the Assam Pedas Sotong (RM15.00). A Generous serving of white Sotong. The Assam Pedas sauce was not too spicy and was good with white rice. According to the captain, we can also order this Assam Pedas style with Fish of your choice or Prawns too.


Next, we ordered one of Restoran 98 signature dishes which is the Smoked Chicken 口水鸡(烟熏鸡)(半只) (RM28.00) aka Saliva Chicken. The smoked chicken is served with pickled papaya and drenched with a homemade sauce; my personal opinion was to have the sauce served separately as I find the vinaigrette taste a little over powering. The taste of the smoked meat was very intense and we really like it.


Our last dish is also one of the Restoran signature too which is the Fried Pork Knuckle 98猪手 (RM40.00). At RM40.00 for a Pork Knuckle is a real steal here. Love the crispy skin and the well-marinated pork meat. For me, the sauce that came with it somehow does not complement well with the pork knuckle. I prefer to eat it as it is. 

After dinner, it was time to leave this laid back quiet town which offers reasonably cheap and delicious food and a really nice break from the city norm. With a full satisfied tummy, we vowed to make a trip again in the not too distant future to try out the other fares that this town offer.
