Meng Chai Seafood @ Miri

It is kind of difficult to find a good restaurant during Chinese new year. Not many restaurant opening and even they did, surely there are lots of people. It was nearly 1 week after chinese new year, 3 of us had a thought to find something good to eat for our dinner. Passing by the Meng Chai seafood restaurant, I saw lots of people in the restaurant, and with its word “Teppanyaki  铁板烧) attract us. It was difficult to find a parking place there, because it located beside the road. We drove round and round the area, still unable to find a parking place. Finally, we just had to park our car far behind the shop lots.

After we sat down, saw that there were few tables still not yet served. Well, Teppanyaki styles I guess have to need to wait for some times for our turn. To order vegetables, you can just directly make your order to the waiter, and for seafood, you may go to choose the fresh seafood yourself.  For good is, they would tell us the price for fresh and frozen seafood, and give recommendation on dishes and the way of cooking. It not likes some other restaurant, try not to let you know the price and charging you a high price at the back or giving a bowl of seafood that is much enough for 3 persons. Feel this restaurant is kind of “honest”.

Surprising me lots are the foods, are extremely DELICIOUS. First of it was the River Prawn, a very big one, RM80 per kg, and as the recommendation given, ½ kg is enough for 3 of us. With Shaoxing wine and the freshness of the prawn, I even drink the prawn soup, what can I said --- OISHII (DELICIOUS) ~

 

Next was Babylonia . It was the first I ate this and bigger size than I thought. Is kind of fun to pull it out and will feel irritable if it’s tail break off while I pulling it out, leaving a big portion inside its shell, really want break its shell to eat it. It was delicious too, and very fresh, LIKE it.

 

Next was spicy octopus. Not bad, It quite good to serve with rice, but seems the spices had cover its freshness of the seafood. Opps...had ate a lot before I remember to take a photo of it.

Lastly, a plate of vegetable, to balance our meal.

All these dishes plus 3 bowls of rice and 3 chinese tea, cost total less than RM 100. Delicious seafood with affordable price, surely I will go there again, and more frequently.
