Entree Kibbles: Restoran Sungei Lima @ Klang in Malaysia

After a massive durian indulgence at Klang where we bought over 13 kilograms worth of mao shan wang, our intention was to skip dinner but our dear Alex, despite his insanely small stomach, was craving for seafood!

So, our Klang friends decided to bring us to a Restoran Sungei Lima; said to be popular amongst the locals. He wasn't wrong as the place was almost full house when we arrived; a demand not seen at other nearby eateries.

You can choose between indoor and outdoor seatings. As weather was pretty cool that evening, the outdoors would be preferred, and unanimously agreed by the rest. What we didn't realize was the thunderstorm coming our way as we returned to Petaling Jaya after dinner.

Even for a Chinese reader, I am stumped by the menu when I asked for one. I was asked to look at this panel at the wall, which has no price tag. Oh well, I am leaving it to the expert locals, our friends, to order then.

Cereal Prawns - these would count as one of the best cereal prawns I ever had; freshness was obviously there and special mention to the cereals themselves that were almost powdery with a sweet fluff that crusted the prawns.

Sweet and Sour Pork - not sure if many of you would remember the nostalgic taste of old school sweet and sour pork. This was how I remember them; rich of tomato with a texture that was like just lightly crisp. This plate literally brought me back to my childhood.

Salted Egg Mantis Shrimp - more salty than sweet with a flavor that was overwhelming for the palate; and too much batter. Supposed to be a signature dish but for the Singapore taste buds; not to my liking.

Fried Baby Marmite Squids - more chewy than crispy, I was wondering what this dish was all about until it was placed on our table; turned out to be one of my sister's favorite tze char dishes! There was this unique marmite taste that my sister would likely enjoy; but not the texture.
