Sorry Jackson, for I only post this up now. ^^”
We threw our beloved celebrity flogger, Jackson a birthday dinner last month at King Crab Restaurant. If you’d been following the other floggers’ blog (which is on the right side of this blog), you would have heard about King Crab as our Precious Pea was their regular customer here till we crowned her the title Ms. President of King Crab.
Me on the other hand, was my first time here, along with Nigel, Allan and Teckiee.
Unlike most Chinese restaurants which serve peanuts as starters, King Crab serves our local acar, one of my favourite dish. This is just what we need to perk up our appetite for the night!
Ah, before that, we had a pleasant surprise. Teckiee brought over some bagels from Vienna Bagels, KLCC!
Wonder why the bagels look like doughnuts? We have no idea, we tell you. Ok, now although they do resemble Dunkin Donuts or Big Apple Donuts, these bagels’ texture were a bit hard.
See how happy our Jackson was while opening his pressie from Allan and Nigel. :p
Nigel also brought some kuih koci… very good stuff.
Dishes arrived finally. Drunken Lala with wolfberries, ginger, Chinese wine and bird’s eye chillies. Unlike the one we had at Mei Chi Xuan which is the sweet version, King Crab’s version gave a slightly spicy aftertaste. It would be a good dish to have on a cold, rainy day.
Precious Pea also ordered their Guiness Stout Pork Ribs. Each pork ribs were thoroughly coated with a layer of caramelised, sticky sauce… yummy!
Kailan cooked in two different way. The leaves were firstly separated from the stalks, shredded, then deep fried and tossed with anchovies and shredded cuttlefish. The stalks on the other hand, were just stir-fried with garlic. Interesting combination.
Cheong Sau Meen (Longevity Noodle) for the birthday boy! They gave a generous amount of chicken meat (Nigel claimed that they’re pork, but I say it’s chicken :p ) but I found that the noodle is kinda tasteless. The gravy came with it was just mediocre.
Everyone’s recommendation – Salted Egg Yolk Squid. Each pieces of the deep fried squids were thoroughly coated with salted egg yolk, really good. Very sinful stuff but we love them!
The favourites among the floggers, Butter Crab. For your information, King Crab DOES NOT use margarine as substitute to butter in this dish, they use real butter. That’s why the gravy was lip smackingly good, coupled with the fresh crabs… heaven. If you’re to order this, do remember to lap up the butter gravy with the accompanied mantou.
Tilapia baked with salt crust. Similar to Mei Chi Xuan’s but instead of stuffing the chillies, garlic and ginger mixture into the fish, King Crab serve the sauces along with the fish. One of them was their home made green chilli sauce which you can purchase from the counter. Buy 10, free 3. 🙂
Nigel and Allan.
As usual, we were busy stuffing ourselves and chat at the same time when we suddenly heard the customers at the next table started to sing “Happy Birthday” to a little girl. We joined in the fun and sang together and guess what, they share a big portion of the birthday cake with us! Jackson is so lucky!
See how happy he is, can’t wait to bite “his” birthday cake. :p
