Food & Gathering: Pantai Seafood, Kampung Sg Kayu Ara, Petaling Jaya


Welcome back to yet another edition of Gathering & Food where we celebrated the departure of our beloved colleague Alex Chew at Pantai Seafood Restaurant located at Kampung Sungai Kayu Ara in Petaling Jaya.


We reached the restaurant at around 12.00noon and frankly there are very less people inside the restaurant. This restaurant is usually packed with people when it reaches dinner time. For lunch, it will be pretty less people. However, the crowd will be starting to build up when it reaches 1.00pm onwards till 2.30pm and I can see the flock in the restaurant one by one.


We waited for others colleague to come and finally all of them ( 7 of us) sat on the table around 12.45pm and we ordered out food then. The person who turned up including Wei Wen, Carron, Alex Chew, Kee Lian Hoe, June and Gina Sie and including myself. This is the summary of what we ordered. We ordered 3 of their Signature Dishes and the signature dishes are Chili Crab, Unique Style (RM80.00) (1KG), Poached Live Tiger Prawns (RM120.00) (7 pax) and Steamed Talapia Fish in Nyonya Style (RM38.00). Other dishes including Claypot Chicken with Pork Stomach (RM42.00), Sauteed Garden Greens Vegetables (RM20.00) & Braised Chicken (RM25.00). Price is not valid daily and may subject to change.

Poached Live Tiger Prawns
The food took quite some long time to arrive although the crowd is pretty less mainly they need to prepare accordingly and it takes time to cook. We have to wait for about 20 minutes for the food to arrive. Let's talk about the signature dishes first. The Chili Crab, Unique Style is one of the best dishes of the day and you should order this when you are here. It's super tasty and nice to eat. Also do ordered some 'mantou' where you can eat together with the crab sauce and it makes your meal even more delicious. Yummy! The Poached Live Tiger Prawns is very fresh and it's very juicy as well. It's a fresh catch from the aquarium. This is another dish that I would strongly recommend. Lastly is the Steamed Talapia Fish in Nyonya Style. This cooking style is simply too delicious especially the nyonya sauce. Plus the fish is very fresh and I would say with this 3 dishes we ordered, it just simply FANTASTIC and it lighten up my day seriously!

Poached Live Tiger Prawns & Braised Chicken
Well, do not look down on other dishes that we ordered too including the Claypot Chicken with Pork Stomach, Sauteed Garden Greens Vegetables & Braised Chicken. The Claypot Chicken with Pork Stomach is very nice too as it's juicy and nice. The Sauteed Garden Greens Vegetables meanwhile is nice with so many vegetables including mushrooms too. Lastly the Braised Chicken is also very nice indeed with the braised sauce is simply lovely. We enjoyed our lunch very much here and we vowed to come back again in future.

Chili Crab, Unique Style
The total bill is around RM350++ and I would say it's very reasonable as we get to eat a lot of seafood including fish, crabs & prawns. For 1 person we need to pay around RM60 per pax and I think is very reasonable as well. It's not expensive and you are enjoying these seafood at Petaling Jaya and not along the seaside. I would strongly recommend you to come over to Pantai Seafood if you've not been here yet. Enjoy your meal. MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT) ; OTHERS RATING: 5/5
