CNY Dinners #1 @ King Crab Restaurant, Kelana Jaya

King Crab Yee Sang - RM45

King Crab has been in existence for a number of years now and has made itself a landmark when trying to navigate around Kelana Jaya due to its big eye catching sign board along the LDP highway. On normal days, perhaps we will need to find 10 reasons to dine at a real air-conditioned Chinese restaurant for a meal with crabs, but if it's CNY... you'll only need one reason. It is CNY.


Suckling pig (whole) - RM180


Steamed fish - RM128


8 treasure vegetable with scallops - RM42


Steamed crabs - RM80


Salted egg yolk crabs - RM80


Two-style HK kailan - RM22

We picked these dishes from the ala carte menu - Yee Sang and Suckling Pig being the obligatory two CNY must-haves. The rest were accompaniments that are typical in any Chinese meals - crabs, fish, vegetarian-8-treasures-something, and some green fibers.

Overall, the meal was a-okay, hits on the suckling pig, fish and crabs and the 8-treasures dish, but miss was on the HK kailan - the fried portion seems to be over-fried.

Jalan-jalan Cari Bazaar Ramadhan @ Kelana Jaya

The crowd weaving through to get their well-deserved meals

Perhaps the only way to drown all the past week sadness is by food. If laughter is the best medicine, in my point of view, food comes second close or maybe even second to none. And what better way to indulge than to have a walk at one of the many mushrooming ramadhan bazaars in town! Smell, sight and sound.

After some 'researching', I suggested to head on to the bazaar in Kelana Jaya as it is on the way from after work. So, here are some pictures for you guys living abroad who can't be here for the ramadhan bazaars!


Ayam golek, a local version of kenny roger's on rotisserie!


The murtabak man


Satay, satay, satay galore!


Ayam percik, a local favourite


Satar Awie, a Malay delicacy- fish wrapped in banana leaf on skewers


Goreng ini, goreng itu


Soup from the North- Sup Utara


Grilled fish or more fondly known as ikan bakar


Very carrerful drinks, becareful about the coloring though ;-)


Fried noodles on kawah wok


Uniformed fried chicken rice


Onde-onde, everyone's favourite kuih!

The bazaar starts to close at about 7pm to make way for the traders to berbuka puasa. The Kelana Jaya bazaar occupies one whole stretch of road and is pretty extensive in food choices although you will find a number of stalls duplicating the usual suspects such as roti john, murtabak, nasi campur, and kuih-muihs.

* Oh, an extra tip: Nearing the closing time, prices will be slashed. We were particularly lucky to get 3 ayam perciks for only RM5.


Selamat berbuka puasa!
from us who did not fast but still managed to buka puasa together anyway- kenneth, me, ashvin, param and joshan :)
