The Signature Fish Head Bee Hoon. You might add on other ingredients as you wish but since that day have so many customers choosing over there, so I have no chance to take the photo from the display counter.

Btw, the fish head bee hoon is not let me down. The broth is quite nice and not too salty. Of course the fish is also fresh enough.


You may also try the Tomyam Soup noodle. The taste is not bad too. The broth is not that spicy for me but some people might feel very spicy, so try it on your own risk :P


Loh Bak (五香卤肉) is one of the MUST side dishes. The Loh Bak is deep fried until crispy and it is served by the special chili sauce. Once you have the first try, you might not control yourself to take the second bite.


Another side dishes available is Deep Fried Kampung Fish. Although it looks simple but it really taste well. It is crispy outside but juicy inside. 

(p/s: If you do not wish too wait for too long time, try to avoid the dinner time, especially after 8pm.)

You will be given the crab pliers, a wet towel, gloves and apron after order your food. It's really convenience as you do not have to wash your hand after having the seafood.

(p/s: For those who like to eat the seafood will really understand what I means. It's really hard to get off the smell after eating the seafood.) 



There are several sauces available, such as: Crab & Lobster Signature, Black Pepper, Chili Crab Sauce, Garlic Butter and Dry Curry Sauce. For the Crab & Lobster Signature and Chili Crab Sauce, you are free to choose Mild Spicy, Spicy or Extra Spicy. As the picture shown is spicy Chili Crab Sauce. Actually, it's not that spicy.

2 pax per set is recommended by the staff but you should consider yourself because it is really a big portion. Be careful not to add on the potato, corn and sausage as it is cooked together with the seafood set.



The french fries and mantou are also included in the seafood set. Be careful not to add on anymore unless you really can finish it.


There are also several side dishes available, such as the chicken wings shown above. It costs RM20 for 3 pieces.



Other than that, there are many beverages available but of course it's not free of charge. You can pick your favorite beverage or alcohol.


Last, make sure you make the reservation especially during the dinner hour or weekend if you would like to have your meal inside. Otherwise, you might have to sit outside and enjoy your meal with the good view.
