Restoran King Crab, Taman Megah
Most of my favourite bloggers (food or otherwise) have ate and published raving posts about this place. Day in day out night in night out my mind had been on 'Hai-wong! Hai-wong! Hai-wong!' (that's king crab in Cantonese). It is high time to get it over with.
Pity we cannnot seem to find time during weekends coupled with the fear of waiting for tables. So armed with vision of drooling seafood, 4 of us decided to brave the rush hour traffic on a workday. People traffic that is, we took the Putra Line to the Kelana Jaya stop (last station) then walked across the overhead bridge.
Once seated, these were placed:-
Achar (Mixed vegetables preserved in savoury sauce with crushed peanuts). 3 ladies, so we were happy. That's my fresh Apple+Orange Juice while the others had 'Cha-wong' (A type of Chinese Tea). The red packet contains a perfumed damp napkin.
Phitoy just had to have peanuts instead so he asked for a plate.
I was put in charged to order so I did it flawlessly. Ecpc. Just name the dishes most bloggers said good.
Hak-Beh Khuat (Guinnese Pork Ribs)
Ngai-Yau Hai (Buttered Crabs) Took 2 crabs. They served only local ones.
Mantau (Plain Dumplings). We took double order of these as these fried soft buns were so very good to wipe clean the butter crabs' gravy with. Also, only Phitoy had rice.
Ham-Tan Sotong (Salted Egg Yolk Squids)
As usual, an obligatory plate of greens which was Lai-Pak (Baby Bokchoi?)
Phitoy settled the bill. Aiya, forgot to ask them to take away the packets of damp napkins and deduct the cost from our bill. Usually if we remember to collect it back, they are used to wipe car steering wheel, dashboard, telephone.. etc. Otherwise we tend to leave it intact on the table. We find the fragrance too strong for mouth and hands:-

Yumyumyum...you ordered all my fav!!! Time of the month to revisit. Well..it's a monthly affair between me and King Crab.
Food looks great. Time to visit soon. Very soon.
looks damn shiok and cheap too!..100ish for all that wor..looks like this 1 can take my gf go without breaking the bank
oh finally! :D you didn't really mention if you like da food here... i think their crabs are too small!
You know me...just the name of the restaurant already arouses me so much...lol, and once I spotted the giant claws of the crab, man, I am about to pull them out of your blog. :P
By the way, I answered your question about frying oil on RM liao.
Yeah lo.. like mei yen said.. i was waiting for "very nice" or "not nice" I stay very near there and have not tried yet...
precious pea, when I was writing this, my mind was going 'precious pea, precious pea, precious pea'. Yes, u were d inspiration.
lyrical lemongrass & joe, do try something different from these favs & report!
meiyen & teckiee, reasonably good food at easy to find/reach & comfy atmosphere. Crabs were a bit small but local ones usually are, no? The food did not hit me like 'whoa'. Afterall, with so many positive reviews, my expectations were really sky-high.
rasa malaysia, I was there. Thx!
Was about to ask the question that Mei Yen asked..I come back you spend me hor :P
unkaleong, no problemo.
Aiyak...u r few hours quicker than me in blogging about this restaurant. :P
kakaka...same like me. Usually i'll return the napkins to them. Simply charge me nonsense money.
Then Csb will look like this @_@
wah...all of them looks so good. I'm drooling over my pc ... don't think my keyboard appreciate my drool though.
ai yo... look at the claws... yummy yummy.... hungry liao!!

*makes hopeful pleading eyes*
got floggers trip there?? haha count me in..add extra pair of "hopeful pleading eyes" haha
tankiasu, and I thot I was slow.
=)
xiulongbao, think it goes into paying the staff tips. If possible, I'll return the peanuts too as I don't usually take. But then will run the risk of suffering dinner with a super grouchy phitoy.
the cooking ninja, here here take a pail ..
new kid on the blog, not as hungry as I looking at the lard pieces in your wantan mee post. Since u stay in Pg, seafood cravings easily solve-lar.

King Crab as you all now know and well...the verdicts are ...in... story went that he started off the revitalised business by pulling in all his cronies and associates to turbo charge the initial boom ...and da rest is ...hehehe
