With my
mom’s allergy to seafood and dad’s barely-there cooking skills, we took dad out
for some serious seafood binging the moment mom went out of town.
All my life,
I had only been to five seafood restaurants here in KK. Sad but true. So when
my brother recommended Gayang, we agreed. He assured us the drive wasn’t that
long.
A short
drive would be nice I thought.
First of
all, my sudden runny nose was a pain. Then it rained. Heavily. The short drive
was anything but short plus my sister somehow got lost so we had to make an
ever longer drive. Like Ekiel said, why did we drive to the end of the road
just to have crabs?
Now, when we
finally reached the restaurant around 6.45pm, the place was super packed.
Because I was nicely sneezing away, I didn’t go ohhh and ahhh over the
aquariums with the fresh “dinner”. I did manage to order my Kam Heong mud crab in between my sniffs
because a lot of blogs gave it a thumbs up.
Service was
not their biggest plus point.
-
They do not clear the mess the moment the guests
left the tables
-
We had to find an empty table on our own
-
We were seated for almost 30-min without anyone
taking our order for drinks, nor set the table with cutleries
-
Due to whatever service system they were using
guests who came later was served first
-
The no smiling staffs get another two points
deduction
The good
things.
-
Plenty of parking
-
They take your order before you even find yourself
a table
-
The bill comes immediately after you ask for
them J
My family
are not really adventurous when it comes to food. My son didn’t even want to
try any of the dishes so we had to order omelette for him.
Kam Heong
Mud Crab
1kg – RM30
(4 medium-sized crabs)
There was a
lot of curry taste going on for my liking. But the crab was meaty and sweet.
Buttered
Milk Prawn
1kg – RM35 (Medium-sized
prawns more than enough for 5 persons)
I imagine
buttered prawn should be salty but this dish was sweet. The prawns were
definitely fresh.
Battered Soft
Shell
1kg – RM50
(4 medium-sized crabs)
This was my
favourite. The taste was just right and the crunch was just perfect.
Sabah
Vegetable with Egg
RM8 per
plate (Enough for 5 persons)
Wasn’t the
best I ever had but it was good
They also
served coconut pudding (chargeable) for dessert.
One thing to do is check your bills before paying. I’m sure it was
just human error but they charged us for peanuts and fruit pickles which we
didn’t get.
Opens daily
from 11am to 10pm.
