Seafood buffet - Flavors@ Swiss Garden

Five of us went for seafood buffet in Flavors restaurant, Swiss Garden Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. I thought it was a good deal since we only had to pay RM49 if we purchase the deal on LivingSocial. I was wrong!

Very good first impression, but it went straight downhill from there.


Sashimi and prawns


Only two types of shashimi....very disappointing I must say. Shogun has more selections than this 4 star hotel.


The oysters looked particularly pathetic. All of us agreed that they tasted bitter and unfresh. Two of my friends either had nausea and/or purging that night.












Grilled lobsters


Lobsters




Grilled prawns




Crab


Green mussels


Roast Duck




Squid curry




Mutton curry. I must say..all the curry dishes were quite good.

Kam Ling Seafood Restaurant@Tawau

My second time having seafood in Kam Ling seafood restaurant in Sabindo part of Tawau. The first time was when we stopped by Sabindo for an early dinner on the way back from Maliau Basin.

Sea weed appetizer. Sweet. Not to my liking. I would have preferred jelly fish.


Hoi Dai Gai (sea chicken, Maori sea perch). My first time trying this fish. The texture was quite firm and not smooth like most fish. Nice and fresh, but I really don't think I will fork out close to RM140 for a 1 kg fish like this again. A bit over-rated if you ask me.


Mantis shrimps with salted egg yolk coating. Nice, fresh and sweet. My most favorite dish of all.


Stir fried Sabah vege with garlic...heard a lot of about this vege but still not too sure what it is. It's a little like paku pakis (fern shoot)- nice, fresh and crunchy. Liked it a lot.

Edit: I have been told that Sabah Vege is actually the young tip of sayur manis bush. I did some googling and found some info here and here.

Fruit platter, on the house.


All three dishes cost us about RM260 including drinks.





Live mud crabs


Maori sea perch (sea chicken, hoi dai gai)

Lala Chong Ara Damansara

After seeing our friend off at Subang airport, a group of us decided to have dinner at Lala Chong.

Crab with salted egg yolk. I found the coating way too thin and the dish a bit too oily.


Sheung Tong Lala (Lala in superior soup). Quite good but i prefer the one in Restoran 126 in Kampung Bukit Tinggie.


Mantis shrimp. The coating was so thick and it was so oily. You couldn't even tell that it was mantis shrimp inside.


Stir fried vege, probably my fave of the night.
