What do you do when you have an extra one day public holiday extending your normal weekends break? I’m sure many of you choose to go shopping or spend more time at home to catch-up on those lost sleep. Wanting to do something different, we took a one-day trip to Seremban.

Seremban has the best Siu Bao without doubt. Not only that, Seremban is also famous for their seafood. Before heading to Seremban, we made some research and through that research, we landed up at Seremban Seafood Village.

Seremban Seafood Village is very well-knowned for their crabs. Just look at the crab pinches, don’t they look huge and appetizing?

As there are the two of us only, we ordered the Grilled Crabs. Unlike the ones we had in Jinjang which has a strong buttery taste, Seremban Seafood Village ones are more oily and salty. The crabs were very fresh and meaty. A bowl of “orange” coloured sauce was provided to compliment the Grilled Crabs. In my honest opinion, this sauce doesn’t go very well with the crabs, as the crabs were good enough on its own. Other common favourites here are their Salted Egg Crabs and Chili Crabs.

Next, I strongly recommend you their Dried Chili Mantis Prawn (Kung Pou) as it is not only delicious, it is very affordable. This portion is only RM10.00. So much difference in pricing compared to the Grilled Crab earlier which costs us RM70.00.

The Clams fried with dried chili and shrimp rice or we normally called Kam Heong Lala is also RM10.00. The lalas were very fragrant, a trully nice dish. It has enough kick of spicyness and “wok hei”.

Klang is one of the more popular place to go for seafood. I am not very familiar with Klang especially when we are talking about seafood. The only thing nice that I know that is worth visiting Klang is their Bak Kut Teh. We wanted to try Klang’s seafood for the longest time and this time, we followed some friend’s recommendation to Kebun Kelapa Seafood Restaurant hoping to taste one of the nice seafood restaurant in Klang.

We ordered their Chili Crabs, one of the must-order dish here. This finger-licking good chili crab was sweet and spicy at the same time. A truly enjoyable dish for those who like crabs.

Wanting to try other cooking styles for crabs, we also ordered their Salted Egg Crabs. I didn’t like this style as the sweetness and freshness of the crabs meat were over-powered by the strong salted egg taste. After trying many cooking styles for crabs, I find that the best way to cook crabs is to bake them with salt and pepper. You may disagree with me, but in my personal opinion, this way, the sweetness of the crab meat can be fully preserved.

The Fried Oyster Egg was quite okay only. The oysters were really tiny. Most of us didn’t enjoy this dish.

CRABS can be prepared in several different ways. Out of the many styles in preparing crabs, the most commonly recommended ones are the “salted-egg and butter” style, “kam hiong” style or “chili” style. After trying out so many different cooking styles, I now know that the best way to enjoy crabs is to order the baked-style ones. Our dining experience this time is at Long’s Seafood Restaurant. Long’s Seafood Restaurant which is well-known among the locals here for it’s baked crabs. Fortunately, we didn’t need to travel very far as Long Seafood Restaurant is located in Jinjang, Kuala Lumpur.

Like everyone else, that night, we ordered Long’s famous baked-styled crab. Although the oiliness seems to be the problem, the crab was nevertheless finger-liking delicious. The crab was really fresh, not to mention, beautifully presented on the plate. How often do you see crabs served in it’s original form?

Grilled Pari Fish was one of the other things we ordered that night. Owing to the fact that Long is a seafood grilled fish restaurant, we had had high expectation on this dish. However, we were not too impressed by this dish as the fish was slightly rubbery.

Next, we had Fried Squid with Butter Sauce. I must point out to you that the main star for this dish is not the fried squid, but the sauce that comes with it. It was sweet and creamy. It is just the perfect combination with those fried squids. Love it!

Wong Poh Seafood Restaurant is famous for their crab and seafood dishes. It’s been a while since the last time I had crabs. So, last weekend, we went to Wong Poh. The restaurant was full when we arrive around 7.30pm due to the weekend crowd. We managed to find our table at the air-conditioned area only after about 15 minutes. So the wait wasn’t bad afterall.

We ordered their Cheese and Butter Crabs. This is one of the must-order item here.

The buns doesn’t come together with the crabs and must be ordered separately. The sweet buns are best taken together with the cheese and butter crabs. They both compliments each other really well.
