Seremban Seafood Village

Rachel is in Seremban today on her one-day assignment auditing Philip-Morris, the international tobacco company situated next to Tesco Hypermarket (previously Makro) in Seremban 2. We decided to go for crab for dinner. Our regular devillicious salted-egg crab place was closed, and our second option was naturally the Seremban Seafood Village which is a few metres down the road.

Seremban Seafood Village is located in Seremban Town, behind the Seremban Wet Market. If you drive along the road from Terminal One, you will notice a stretch of seafood restaurant on your left once you pass the wet market on your right. We normally go to the first seafood restaurant called Choy Kee Food Stall for their delicious salted-egg crab but it's closed. Seremban Seafood Village is one of those restaurants along the stretch, but their salted-egg variety sucks.

We ordered four dishes. Veggie came first, this is the fu-yue yao mak (lettuce with pickled tofu and garlic). This is my all time favourite veggie. If anyone ask me to order veggie in a chinese restaurant, it's sure a fu-yue yao mak!

Next came the pai kuat wong (King's Spareribs, abosolutely non-halal). This dish is essentially pork loin rib chop cooked in sticky sweet and sour sauce. Very tasty, succulent daging babi! One of the best pai kuat wong I've ever tasted. Kuat kuat lari!

We didn't feel like having rice, so we ordered their house specialty fried sang meen (fried wantan noodles). So much for house specialty! It didn't taste good at all and it took forever to come, and there's nothing much other than noodles and shredded cabbage.

And the maincourse - kam heong style crab (crab cooked in chillies, dried shrimps, curry leaves, and spices). The crabs are fresh and succulent. Crabs of this freshness should be ordered grilled (ketam bakar) or baked. The kam heong is too overpowering. But nevertheless, it's still good crab! I rate this dish 7 out of 10.

We ordered 1kg of the crab - there's 2 bijik of crabs on the plate. 500g each? Look at the crab's brain! Tasted like oyster! It goes well with the provided special chilli sauce dip. Syiok!

The veggie and fried noodles cost RM6.00 each. Pork ribs was RM10.00, while the crabs cost RM40.00 (RM40/kg). I'm surprised restaurant like this also charge 5% government tax. The bill came at a total RM66.78 inclusive of 2 glasses of plain water and a plate of ground nuts.
