Dinner at Sri Mutiara Seafood Restaurant

Lily Tan knew about this restaurant as it is situated directly opposite the pharmacy she works in in Asia City.

Choo Siow Chin arrived KK from Tawau this afternoon. Lily suggested we tried this restaurant.

So tonight Choo, Lily, Sophia, Catherine Phua and I had dinner at this restaurant.

At the moment there is promotion going on where crabs cooked in style other than Wet Butter or with Salted Egg are charged RM8.80 per kg. The shells (‘tung fung lo’) are also charged at the same price.

We ordered large size Oyster Omelette from another stall.

The Oyster Omelette tasted pretty good, not too wet but not dry at all. I wished there were more oysters though. We chowed them down as quickly as possible.

Sophia and I thought the Sweet and Sour sauce for the Crabs tasted slightly on the sour side. Lily and Catherine were ok with it. The crabs were small but for the price of RM8.80, at least they did not serve us Watery Crabs (‘Sui Hai’).

The aroma of the Beancurd Hotpot was very tantalizing when it was put on our table.

One of the waitresses made a mistake and wanted to serve us fish which we never order.

While we were waiting for the shells to arrive, I saw that the customers at the table next to us was served a plate of shells that was fit for five persons instead of two persons. I also saw other customers who came later than us were served the same thing.

We asked the lady captain who took our order where our plate of shells was, she said they were on the way. After we almost finished all our food and still the plate of shells was nowhere to be seen yet. This time we asked the male captain and were told that the plate on the next table was meant for us.

When the plate of shells finally came, the momentum of eating was still there but it would be better if we did not have to wait for more than 45mins for them to be cooked.

And this was the amount of shells I had, almost half of the plate or one kg.

After dinner, Lily had to go to a meeting while the rest of us walked over to Centrepoint for window shopping before going home.
