Holy CRABS! Kali Little Restaurant @ Pandamaran Chi Leong, Klang

by - 9:16 AM




It's been a long, long, while since I have shared anything in the food journey in here. Been sharing on the most used social platform, where else, Facebook :)

Decided to revive my food blog as friends had also encouraged me to do so and it's only more proper to be focus and share these wonderful food gems. Blogging.

This is a Chinese restaurant located in the most obscured place; yet at the same time, the location is not hard if you know the landmarks to look for. MCA Pandamaran and a temple besides it! And it is actually, the big empty space in front of the temple, rather the entrance itself  *cry with joy* (for locating this eatery.


Yes! Holy (mind the pun!) CRABS, indeed! The size of these crabs are no joke! This is SALT BAKED CRABS that is served with some garnished fried shallots. Therefore, it is not a surprise if the crabs are salty! These crabs are from Indonesia.

Every time, a plateful of these crabs comes out from the kitchen, all the patrons will be so awed by te hugeness of it. LOL. I am one of them too.

In my opinion, the price for the size of a crab served, is deemed "reasonable". The 'body' itself, flesh beneath the shell is as big as my face! Even with one pincer itself, you will find yourself quite satisfied with the sweetness of it's flesh, which made you craved for more. At least, I have, tried a crab this huge! :)


This is, CLEAR SOUP RED SNAPPER, served in a clay pot. It is something uniquely served and cooked. As you can see, the soup is not that "clear" and it has a generous amount of the Chinese Parsley and slices of ginger, which are well combined, with the right amount of the Chinese rice wine. The fish is indeed very fresh. Yes, no 'muddy' taste. It's a seafood place, so the food has to be fresh!



As for this next dish, "NAM YEE CHAR YOKE" (fermented red bean curd, that have been preserved in rice wine) is a signature Hakka dish.


I used to grow up with this dish, that is very well done by my grandmother and my mum. The size of this dish, is in bigger chunks and crispier than this one. This is a more 'refined' size :) Despite being deep fried, the meat is tender yet juicy, with the right proportioned of nam yee marination. Will go down well with beer!




GINGER CHICKEN, used to be only served to women after childbirth, to ensure recovery as new mothers are believed to be prone to certain ailments like 'wind', thus the ginger.

The cooking method used is slightly different from the traditional ginger chicken served. And "village (kampung) chicken" is used, as the perception is that is has less fat content. Why? Not an urban chicken, pampered and fed with no exercise! I have tasted better ones as in the taste itself.


LALA MIHUN (CLAMS STIR FRY RICE FLOUR NOODLES). This is not the usual hard shell clams, mind you :)

To me this is dish is nothing special, compared to the first time I had this dish in Telok Gong, another seafood restaurant. I found another place, in Kuala Lumpur itself, yes, you read right! I dare say, it is of equal status to the one in Telok Gong! Look out for the coming posts ;-)


A salty dinner night indeed ^-^ SALT BAKED FRESH WATER PRAWNS. Now I wondered, why have we not ordered steamed prawns instead *scratch head wondering*

It is a seafood restaurant, so expectation of freshness is high and nothing below is acceptable. This restaurant, passes the 'freshness' test. The prawns flesh has a nice firm texture, the sweetness of it's flesh goes down well with the saltiness on the shell. Yes, I ate the shells too! *grin*
