Crustacean Dinner at Restaurant Vong Fatt for Merdeka Day!

Crab-bies. Yeah! Sounded happy? Still, I am not the number one fans of the crab-bies. Baby Cheng is.

Baby Cheng is a food fanatic whom really love eating to the max! Me? Second. Lolz. She doesn't seem to be able to reject good food. Haha..

She wanted to have the crustacean on the Merdeka Day. Her day was rather unpleasant because she was spending her whole day being at home, on a very important project, i.e. studying for final. I wonder if she really did study well with full concentration since the whole family was on an outing to Mid Valley without her. Bet NOT!!

So, the story goes on with us having dinner at a seafood restaurant in Seri Kembangan. I've forgotten to get the name card, so no details this time. But..but..but..the restaurant is located very near to Chan Yew Kee (previously know as Starlight), in Pusat Perdagangan Seri Kembangan.

The restaurant that we went to is - Restoran Vong Fatt. It started its business since quite awhile ago, and was recommended by my dad's friend.

Inside the restaurant, we saw their menu was stick on the wall.

Plenty of choices to choose from!


And, some publishing about the restaurant. Perhaps it was recommended in the newspaper. And well, one in Japanese (I wondered if it was recommended in the Japanese newspaper? Internet maybe?).

Here are the dishes that we had ordered:
  • Sweet and Sour Crab with fried Mantou
  • Kangkung Belacan
  • Sweet and Sour Pork a.k.a. "Gu Lou Yoke"
  • Dragon And Tiger Reunion a.k.a. "Lung Fu Wui" (This is their special dish which I bet you will not be able to try that at any other places!)

And here comes the main dish of the day!

Dragon And Tiger Reunion


I bet I do not need to say more about the other norm dishes, because, well, they do taste normal. Nothing spectacular, except that the Sweet and Sour Pork was a little soft (not crunchy at all). I will only give an average rating to those dishes.

So, for the Dragon and Tiger Reunion (this was directly translated from Cantonese "Lung Fu Wui", lolz..), I've to say that this dish is very special. It was spicy and moderately milky, with some seafood taste. I can find crab, prawns, squid, "Lala", "Tin Kai", and some Chinese herbs.

The whole pot was served on a portable burner, to heat up the pot and to keep warm.

The first few sips was a little strange though the taste was acceptable. Soon after, you will taste the sweetness of the seafood. I will definitely recommend this!

However, during our visit, we had an encounter with the not-so-fresh prawns. But the shop is kind enough to replace all our prawns with fresh fish slice. Not bad hor? And the service is quite good. They keep apologizing for the non-fresh prawns, which made us felt a little "pai seh" for the complaint. And a little drawback for this dish is that it is quite pricey, at RM48 per pot.

All the dishes were quite small in portion. Nevertheless, give it a try! It is worth to try something new.

Till the next post, tschus~
