Pandamaran Klang - Klang Seafood

Pandamaran was one of the earliest seafood attraction that caught the crowd from PJ and KL rushing to it during the early 90's as far as I can remember. Back then it was just a few seafood restaurant converted from houses. Later when Teluk Gong came up, we see the shift of the city crowds there.

Visited this place over the weekend again, this time I went to Klang Seafood (Kedai Makanan Laut Klang) which is recommended by Soh Cicak. Its one of the many rows of seafood restaurants located on Jalan Nipah. On the way there, I passed by a BKT shop in Pandamaran which I tried once, the BKT there is very unique, no soup, just gravy and very oily, will go there one day and share it here.

Anyway, back to seafood, the place is busy like many seafood establishment in Klang on the weekend. Looks like Pandamaran is still quite happening and popular place to go for seafood. We were there at about 7pm plus and most of the tables are filled.

The waiter came and we started to order, first on are their fried tang hoon which the waiter recommended, steam fish (red carp) with mee hoon, kangkung belacan, pandan chicken, fried egg oyster and kum hiong crabs. The waiter actually told us all the different variety they can serve the crabs with, we decided to go with salted egg crabs but the waiter then whisper and say salted egg is not good, hahaha... we were shocked... he told us what they have and when we wanted it, he said its not good and better don't order! hahahahaha... so we burst out laughing and he defend that he is just being honest but had to do his job and told us what they can offer, funny guy, so we settled for kum hiong as per his recommendation.

First to come are the pandan chicken, basically bits of chicken wrapped in pandan leaf deep fried. To me it taste just like otak-otak, quite unique actually. But its really small piece that you can just pop the whole thing into your mouth :D

Fried oyster with eggs are normal, kangkung belacan are quite tasty too but can't beat the thai style one in Oldtown :P. The fish is not bad, steamed in teow chew style, but I think it would be great if they add more salted vege and make it a little more sour. Tang hoon also normal la.

Last to served are crabs, the kum hiong is a bit different, with a lot of curry leaves, so the kum hiong have a strong hint of curry in them. But the crab size are the small one, I usually prefer the big one.

After the meal, we decided to end it with some fried ice cream. Basically its ice cream wrapped in flour and deep fried. There are different flavors you can choose from but we just took 1 each of the 6 flavors available. We had to eat these fast before it all melts, crispy skins and yummy cold ice cream in them. You can also get these at the SS2 Chow Yang pasar malam or the Cameron Highlands pasar malam.

Bill came to about RM150 for 6 person, prices are ok except for the crabs which are quite costly at this place and I wouldn't rate the crabs as fantastic. Anyhow I had a good time meeting up with friends, sharing about my last hash and later having them over to actually test ride my bike... hehehe. :P
