FOOD that we savour

The last time I blog about this place was back in 2012. You can view my review here. After 3 years and here we are the same people and same place we had our gathering. We chose this place as our gathering as it is wheelchair friendly. As one  of our guests is assessing with wheelchair. Furthermore they have  wide parking spaces.

We have done the booking with the restaurant 2 days earlier. We want something special and we don't want course meal although we have 10 pax dinning. So they came out with the following dishes: 

龙虾什果沙律伴香蕉带子卷

Lobster Salad with Banana Scallop Roll

Every guest was happy with this dish. The roll itself consisted of the scallop, banana and seaweed. Which was quiet a nice combination. And the middle of the platter is served with the lobster salad - which consist of lobster meat and assorted fruits that cut into cube sizes.

深海龙趸炖鲍翅 

Double-boiled Superior Shark’s fin Soup with Giant Grouper and Dried Scallop

Our guests found it interesting that the shark's fin soup was served with the grouper.

蚝皇澳洲鲍甫扣海参蚝士时蔬

Braised Slice Australia Abalone with Sea Cucumber & Dried Oyster

Guests love the sauces from this dish. Sea cucumber and abalone slices were not too hard. It is just nice.

港式顶抽蒸生猛笋壳
Steamed Fresh Marble Goby Fish with Superior Soya Sauce

 The fish was very fresh and nice.

乳猪腊味糯米饭

Roasted Suckling Piglet with Preserved Waxed Meat Rice

This dish is something special. The upper level is roasted sucking piglet and below level is the preserved waxed meat rice. The roasted suckling piglet is very crunchy and tender. Whereas the preserved wax meat rice is also tastes very good. If you have not tried this before you can give it a try!

Deep Fried Mantou

This is indeed very nice. The outer layer of the mantou is very crunchy. It was served together with the roasted suckling piglet with preserved waxed meat rice.

万星浦冻滋润雪蛤

Chilled Lemon Grass Jelly with Hashima Jelly

Last dishes for this meal is our dessert. It is chilled lemon grass jelly with hashima jelly. Quiet a refreshing wrap up for the meal.

Sabah Food Hunt Part 9 ~ Port View Seafood Village

The previous post, I post about the cheapest dinner we had during our trip to Sabah. And today I am going to post the most"EXPENSIVE" lunch that we had in Sabah. ^0^

Port View Seafood Village

Location: Lot 18, Ground Floor, Anjung Samudera (The Water Front), Tun Fuad Stephens Road, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Tel: 088-221753/242875

They have been "awarded membership diploma Les Amis D'Escoffier Society" and "famous chef special committee for china cuisine association".

And they claimed themselves as "Sabah's best live seafood Restaurant".

**You must be wonder why I said lunch but the photos of the restaurant is night view right?

As I forgot to take the shot in the afternoon and hubby help me to take the photo at night. :D**

Live Seafood Corner

Fish...... fish and more fishes......

Fish and Mantis Prawn

I did mentioned about the Mantis Prawn in my Part 2 Sabah Food Hunt which I did not took any photos of the Mantis Prawn. And here the Mantis Prawn in bottles. Thanks for hubby who took the live seafood corner as I am busy talking with my brother about the Lobster. lol

Finally...... we chose this Lobster for our lunch. We need to order bigger lobster as my brother would like the chef to make 2 different dishes out of the lobster.

View in front of Port View Seafood Village

The Water Front

Sitting area ~ there are actually 3 seating types area. One is open air (for night), non-air condition and air-condition.

Who visited this place before? It's the Miss Hong Kong 2005 and other Hong Kong actor and actress. And also Hugo Leung ~ "Hong Kong Sek San".

Pickles

Peanuts

Lobster with Cheese

My brother order this dish. He wants the chef to cook lobster with cheese. Well..... the lobster is very fresh..... as live one..... hahhahaha...... and the textures are nice too. Not too hard. lol

Spring Onion Mussel

Well...... it is quite a normal dish. Tastes vice ~ nice and fresh.

Crab with black bean sauce

Err....... the crab sauce is not salty at all and some of the crabs does not have the nice textures.

Miso Lobster Soup

This is the second version of the lobster. My brother asked the chef to cook Miso Lobster soup for us. The soup tastes very nice and sweet. However, my brother reckon that their miso lobster soup is not as good as the one they tried in Miri, Sarawak. lol

Lo Han Cai

Another vegetables......... and we love it very much with all the black fungus............. this is also good to help us to wash away our cholesterol's with all the seafood hunting in Sabah. lol

Steam Fish ~ Coral Grouper

Hubby browsing through the live seafood corner. And he wanted to order something more expensive than this coral grouper. But end up he changed his mind and order this. As I told him, next time we go hunting in Tawau and Sandakan for more cheap seafood. That's how he let go the expensive fish. ^0^

The fish tastes very fresh and nice.

Overall..... the foods are just ok. As I visited this restaurant 4 years ago, I reckon the food back then tastes much more better than now. Since my last visit was with my brother and sister too. And I asked their opinion and they also agree with me. However, this is solely based on our opinion only.
