It's all close Seafood at Bukit Tambun, a pocket-size angling hamlet famous with seafood lovers. While at that spot are many seafood restaurants inward the vicinity, non many offering Claypot Crab Rice together with Cia Siang Seafood Restaurant (at the junction of Simpang Ampat together with Bukit Tambun) claims to live on the offset to offering this specialty. It's difficult to girlfriend Cia Siang, the eating spot has a huge facade with gigantic signage together with ample parking space. Though the eating spot is non air-conditioned, the high ceiling allows natural current of air to menses inward together with the ventilation is good. There is no touchstone menu, 1 time you lot entered the restaurant, you lot volition live on ushered together with seated quickly. The cantankerous proprietor volition together with thus approach you lot inward lightning speed together with rush you lot for orders. While the nutrient did non disappoint, they did non shine either; nosotros idea the nutrient was of standard-average character but... with outrageous cost tags.

The signature Claypot Crab Rice was humongous together with could easily check upwards to 6-7 diners. While nosotros were satisfied with the freshness of the Mud Crabs, some of us idea that the Rice was under-seasoned. The fragrance together with flavor did non shine, it appeared to us as though nosotros were having some ordinary Fried Rice sans the seafood essence. For Rm 162, nosotros idea that was a rip-off. The server strongly recommended the Claypot Fish Head with Yam to us; nosotros honey the firm-smooth texture of the fish but were non quite convinced that the combination with Yam was good. It was an okay dish.
The Oyster Omelette was as disappointing, it was extremely greasy together with both the telephone substitution ingredients did non blend well; as though Oysters together with Omelette were served separately. It was quite wretched that the entire dish relied heavily on the Chili dip, it was rather bland on its own. The Kerabu Chicken on the other hand, was in all likelihood the best dish of the day. The Chicken was generously cutting together with served with refreshingly dressed Mango Salad with crunchy elements. The flavor combination was adept together with the texture was amazing. But together with thus again, nosotros idea the repast was over-priced; for all the inward a higher house orders including drinks, the impairment was some Rm 370 for the six of us.
