SS2 Murni Restaurant is one of the favourite hang out place for the University Malaya students. I often patronise this place during my university time a few years back as this is one of the most happening spot for uni students. The restaurant owner is a Bumiputra so don’t be surprise as he looks like a Chinese man.

They have a very extensive menu ranging from mamak style to western style. Some of their famous menus are their Roti Hawaii, Nasi Lemak, Claypot Lou Shu Fun, Seafood Spaghetti and many more. I guess this should be a great place for those who needs to break fast in the month of the coming Ramadan next week. Its cheaper than any hotel offering Buffet style of break fasting.

I gotta say that SS2 Murni’s Nasi Lemak is very worth ordering. Not only their portion is huge, the price is also considerably cheap. It is priced at RM6 per plate. Look at the generous portion of chicken they serve! You can either order with or without the chicken.

One of the thing that I notice here is that they are not petty in their ingredients. I had nine prawns, three scallops and some deep fried squids in my Seafood Spaghetti. For those who are not a fan of black pepper, I would strongly recommend you NOT to try this as they actually uses quite a lot of pepper. Those green ingredients you see are not green vegetables but “cili padi”. Hence this Seafood Spaghetti is in fact quite spicy. The Spaghetti was priced at RM10 per plate.

To quench our thirst, we ordered their “teh si peng”, a three layered drink famously known from Sarawak. The three layers are tea (finger pointing at tea), milk and followed by brown sugar. This drink is priced at RM2.50 per glass.

And lastly, how to get there?

(Look for a restaurant with lots of people especially when you are going there at night. The crowd does sometimes stretches from their shop to a few shops away. It is located just behind KFC.)

Where can you get a nice seafood meal in Kuala Lumpur? Located just in front of TMC, One Bangsar Seafood Restaurant offers halal seafood for seafood lovers in Kuala Lumpur. As each meal is designed to fit the number of patrons on each table hence the price varies. There were eight of us that night.

First up was the Loh Han Vegetables (Loh Hon Chai). One Bangsar Seafood Restaurant’s chef are very good at their presentation of the food. Each cucumber and carrots were sliced to its specific slice and decorated on the sides of the plate with care. This dish is priced at RM40.

Next, we had Fresh Water Prawns. I gotta say, my photo does looks like a mess. But the fresh water prawns cooked with special sauce were delicious. The chef even added chips on top of it. Quite special I would say. The fresh water prawns were priced at RM135 per kg.

Any seafood meal will not be complete without crabs. We had two types! No, not two types of crabs, but two crab dishes with two different cooking styles. The crabs were priced at Rm53-60 per kg.

Huge meaty Butter Crab Claws… Yummy!

The other style was the Salted Egg Yolk Crab. As you can see, the chef too did an awesome presentation on this meal. Each limbs were carefully placed on the plate. Exactly how the crab looks like when it was alive. Well, I personally love this style more. Its much tastier. Bravo on this dish chef!

Simply delicious.

Baked Cod Fish cooked with Oats, priced at RM130 per kg was an eye opener dish for me. I have tried many types of steamed Cod Fish with soya sauce. In my opinion, this style only works if the Cod fish is fresh. Hence, many times, I was disappointed not because the cooking style was bad, but the freshness of the fish. Well, I was not too sure whether the fish was fresh or not, but I really do love the baked cod fish cooked with oats. Creative dish!

Last up, was the Pumpkin Fried Rice served in Pumpkin. The fragrant fried rice was served along with cubes of pumpkins. This dish was priced at RM40.

If you are looking for a seafood fix in Bangsar area, I would say this is the place for you. Beautiful environment, pleasant people and great food. Nice!

The first dish we ordered is the most famous of all methods of cooking. Its the crab with thick mee with soup. The good thing about this dish is that, it is filling, sweet taste of the crab and was very delicious. If you look at the other tables around, you will notice that each table orders the same dish. That shows how superb it was! A must try dish.

This is the Golden Sand Crab style. What makes the best out of both dishes is that the crab was large with lots of meats and was very fresh.

News from a friend regarding the delicious fresh water steam fish attracts us to this location on a Sunday afternoon. The stall that we went to is Chong Yen (Steam Fish) Food Stall located at the address below. Commonly known, they only serves 2 style of cooking of the fish “Xiong Yu” (Carp) which is steam fish with ginger or “Kiong Yong” and steam fish with bean curd.

From the description, you may find that they are very limited in their choice of dish. However, this also reduce the lagging time of customers ordering their food as you just need to mention which type of cooking you prefer and how huge you want the fish to be. Even the vegetables are also limited. You only get to choose between Salad or Kai Lan.
