Unique Seafood @ Kota Damansara
Live seafood swimming in tanks may seem squeamish to some but at Unique Seafood, that’s the only way to serve it. Freshness is their top priority. “From the tank to the table” seems to be their motto and seafood lovers can’t be happier. Unique Seafood is one of the earliest restaurants to venture into this live seafood concept. I recall the first time I dined in their Section 13 Petaling Jaya outlet many years ago, it was a roaring novelty then. Looking at the many tanks lining up … [Read more...]
Leng Loong Seafood Restaurant – where Lenggong favourites abound!
This no-frills restaurant serves simple home-style dishes, leaning more towards Kong Sai (or “Kong Xi”) flavours.

With the Chinese New Year upon us and 15 days of celebration ahead, if you … [Read more...]

Craving for Balitong? Check out Tian Lee @ Port Klang
Are you a fan of balitong? Balitong – or “siput sedut” in Malay is an edible sea snail usually cooked in a spicy sauce or with coconut milk in “masak lemak” style. You either love it or hate it. Those who love it know the “art” of sucking out the chewy snail from the right end without getting choked by the protective ”flap”. Not many restaurants serve this delicacy, least of all, a Chinese restaurant. However, if you are in Port Klang, just mention “balitong” and most likely people … [Read more...]

Chambers Bar & Grill @ Hilton Kuala Lumpur

The tables and distressed leather seats … [Read more...]
