After an afternoon of mahjong, hubby and I along with J&S and Z adjourned to King Crab opposite the Kelana Jaya LRT station for dinner. J&O joined us as well…when trying a new place, the more the merrier!
I’ve been wanting to try King Crab ever since reading all those good reviews on the other floggers’ websites, and I’d already listed down all the dishes to order based on their write-ups… 
It was a good thing we were all hungry by the time we reached King Crab despite all the food that we’d consumed in the afternoon…TFF, gwai ling ko, Big Apple donuts, Twisties…
While it took quite some time for us to flag down a waiter, the food surprisingly didn’t take long to arrive once we’d placed our order! Luckily for us too, as S and myself were salivating over the menu which featured huge piccies of the dishes in full technicolour!
Tofu with mushrooms: I only had a bit as I was saving my stomach for other dishes… 
We found that the dish was abit cold though…sitting on the counter too long, perhaps?
Seong tong yuen choy (spinach in superior soup): Just normal…one of those dishes that you can easily find in other restaurants.
Crispy roast chicken: The chicken skin was very nice and crispy, not bad!
Salted egg yolk squid: OMG…cholestrol alert!! So darn good, especially with plain white rice…
Salt and pepper har ko (mantis prawn): This was just so-so…should’ve tried the kung po style instead… 
Guiness pork ribs: Two thumbs up…very yummy! I could taste a slightly beer-ish aftertaste…a nice change from the usual pork ribs that you can find in most Chinese non-halal restaurants.
Butter crabs…
…and deep fried mantou: Cholestrol high alert!! The butter sauce was very creamy with a slight hint of spiciness, and surprisingly, the deep fried mantou didn’t feel overtly oily. Absolutely heavenly, this!
Fried meehoon with lala: This was just so-so…can’t really compare to the one we had at Yong Tat Seafood @ Klang
After resting and chit-chatting for awhile, we ordered a plate of refreshing fruits to give us a semblance of feeling healthy before calling it a night. The damage? RM280 for 7 pax (plus one so-cute-I-want-one-now baby!).

Carrot: Haha…we’ll see…we’ll see…
MeiyeN: Hmm…didn’t really notice the texture. Was too busy spitting out the broken clam shells…
Siew: Well, give us a call if you’re ever in KL! We can always go there to makan…although I have a feeling Ipoh seafood might be better lor…
Lotsofcravings: LOL…I’m sure the floggers should be up for another visit…
