Okay, I had never thought that I’d actually do this – blogging from work… lol. But hey, I’ve been drafting this for some time now, and the pictures have all been uploaded long time ago. So what I’m actually publishing now is actually an entry that is long overdue, especially because it’s also a tag passed on to me (long, long time ago!!) by two very generous bloggers, Rinnah and Bengbeng! (Warning: If you’re fasting, you may want to skip this entry… hehe. Happy fasting, by the way, to all Muslim readers)

In that tag, I’m supposed to tell you about my favorite food, but let me just say this: I don’t have a favorite food. I down almost anything edible, hehe. I kinda like seafood though, and all the pictures shown here in this entry was taken in a restaurant called Seaview (something like that, I can’t remember), located somewhere in PJ New Town. The picture above shows their Jiu Pai Min, which means ‘Trademark Noodles’ in Cantonese.

This is their Nga Bou Loh Shi Fun (I know, romanized spelling may not be correct but if you would just bear with me…), or Claypot Loh Shi Fun in English. Honestly, these noodles tasted very good, but the restaurant is most famous for their sauce-less satay and seafood. We’re not exactly a fan of satays, so we didn’t order any. I tried once though, in one of my previous visits but I didn’t take any photos.

That’s our lobster, cooked in ‘Butter Cheese’ flavor. Believe me, it was super mouth-watering. The fresh lobster meat tasted even better when dipped in its Butter Cheese gravy, so what we did was hold a piece of the lobster, took a bite and dunked it into the gravy again before the second bite, LOL! Yes, we did all these using our bare hands. That’s the only way to eat lobsters and……

… crabs!! They were simply yummy. Er, I can’t remember what the gravy is called in Cantonese, I think it was something like ‘Shuen Lat’; so if I’m not wrong, the crab was called Shuen Lat Hai. It literally means ‘sour and spicy crab’, hehe. Please correct me if you think I’m wrong, because the gravy is actually pretty common elsewhere too, only difference is that maybe they’re cooked differently lah.

That’s the aftermath. Only in seafood restaurants (that serve crabs) can you find hammers (to break open the crabshells), lots and lots of tissue papers, and a table as messy as that. The restaurant also has a dining area in the carpark in front (outdoor), which is very well-lit with spotlights at night. It is a very popular place, especially during the weekends.

P/s: Counting down to Jacky Cheung’s concert tonight… 11 hours to go!

Addendum (2021hrs@15 Sept): FYI, PJ New Town is also known as PJ State, I don’t remember the exact section what-and-what, but I can show you the way *grins* (I think I’m better at showing directions than remembering names of places. I’m a terrible blogger, I know).

How’s that for directions? The blue arrows are your friends ;)

10. Angel – Who, who?? ;p Aiya the damage not very extensive (actually I forgot), furthermore, only once a while eat big meal ma. Ok geh…

    Jason – Updated the entry with location map… ;p

    Giddy Tiger – Hahaha, what utter crappiness ;p It’s true that meals like this cannot always have one – later no longer special, then nothing else is special dy… jialat.

    Rinnah – You also suka seafood ga? I heard Pulau Ketam is seafood heaven *salivates*. Heheh, I also cannot keep track of the amount of tags I got already now!

    Che-cheh – Haha, due to popular demand, location map already uploaded in the entry (edited) ;p

    Bengbeng – I don’t blog about food often, and I think I’m not good at it. I’m sure the entry could have been presented with more ‘impact’ and punch.

    Deng – Entry has been updated with some additional clarifications ;)

    Victor – Go for sahur, and satisfy your hunger! I’m sure there’re stalls set up around the campus at this time.

    Eileen – Hello there, thanks for dropping by. I’ve seen you around in campus and I’ve also visited your site before, during bloghopping. Missing home or not, your job alllows you to see alot more new things all the time. Oh well anyway, do drop by here often! *Grins*
