Lu Yang Restaurant Kota Kinabalu

Thanks to a Mr. Right for bringing us to this restaurant...
The food is so much better than those very fancy restaurants along the Waterfront area, and they also don't simply "SLAUGHTER" you..

Let me introduce to all of you who are planning to go to Kota Kinabalu>>> LU YANG RESTAURANT

New Lu Yang Restaurant

 

Only local seafood experts know about this place, and it is always very full during dinner time!! 

Even when we arrived, all the 20 tables were 90 % occupied and we hardly found 1 table to be seated.

1 KG++ of fresh Steamed Prawn, slurrpps~~

So tender, juicy and crispy!!

This is "Money Chai" fried with belacan, in Hakka you call it "Shu-Choi".KK people mostly only eat the tender parts of it, not like in Kuching we always crush the leaves and fry with eggs.

 

 Special Recipe Fried Crabs that the lady introduced, it's finger licking good!!

This is my Giant Pincer!! Yummy!!

Thai Style Jelly Fish

 

 

I quickly grab my camera and take all the pictures before i eat, coz i know all my 10 fingers will be very oily and dirty...

Ok, done!! Yummy!! My tank is full!! 

Everyone else was also super full already and we couldn't even finish the crab and jelly fish!! lol..

So many more Giant Crabs at the back.... Awaiting to be slaughtered.

Now, after we finished it's around 10pm so the place starts to quiet down, all these table are finally empty..

Next trip to KK, i must revisit this place, and bring more big- appetite gang so i can order more food to try... hehe...

Father's Day Round 1 @ Top Spot Seafood Centre Permata Carpark

Father's Day was last Sunday...
Whenever there is any festival or any celebration day whether father's Day, Mother's Day, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Raya, Gawai, etc it is always the busiest time for me. Firstly, i gotto plan and organize events and promotions. Secondly, i gotto celebrate 2 times, which is usually my family tradition. Normally, i have dinner with my husband side's family on the actual day, while having dinner with my side of family on the eve of the actual day. So, that's 2 rounds...
Last Saturday, i brought my dad and my family to have dinner at Top Spot Seafood Centre Permata Car park. It used to be one of our frequent eating places ages ago, but when it became more towards targeting tourists, and started to slaughter people with their unreasonable price we stopped going there. Since, there are too many other better seafood centre like Bako, Buntal, Sematan, etc. If you don;t feel like driving too far, you can also find nice seafood in the City area like Pending, Batu Lintang, Hui Sing, etc...

I went to Ling Long Stall straight away to choose my prey after we got our table.

The first thing i did was, pick the crabs!! Hmm.. where are the Giant pincers?? 

Ok, about 2 kG, how much? Just to make sure that they don't simply over-charge...

Then, choose some press Prawns, weigh it>> almost 1 KG, enough!

Then.. choose a Fish to steam...

Eee... and get some 1/2 side Clams also.....

Fresh Sugar Cane...

Fresh Coconut

I wanted to order Sugar cane + Coconut but they said "Don;t have! Different stall!"  few year back and now still the same. not innovative!! I wonder why are these people so selfish and don't know how to think far for the business,they can just mix half glass of coconut and half glass of sugar cane, and then come out with a different menu bah! Stubborn!

So, i ordered Coconut Longan in the end.

Father's day Cake

Mom & Dad posing while cutting the cake before the food arrived...

Dad ordered this>> Umai (fresh fish & jelly fish mixed with lime and onions)  

Such a small plate costs RM15??!! Wow, memang Angmo pricing~ anyway, it's father's day bah... so never mind...

This is the Gerai Mahal (Expensive Stall), i won't step near this stall...

Giant Crispy Oyster egg... Favourite!!

"Dou Miao" Sprouts....

I ordered 1/2 shell clams but this is full clams?? reject! Later, they fried another plate of 1/2 shell clams for us..

Fish Lips soup...

Special Tofu.. 

I wonder why every restaurant would cal their tofu as "Signature Tofu", when almost every restaurant cooked the same style?? .....Strategy maybe.

Venison with Ginger and soy sauce...

We wanted to order Bidin with Red Wine but they said no wine here, everything is HALAL, 

so i ordered Bidin Fired with Belacan..

Here comes the Crabs...

Steamed Fish (Silver Pomfret)..

Butter Prawn,  i ordered the wrong cooking method, it should be just as simple as quick steam with salt so the freshness still can be tasted....

Everyone was busy eating....

Pollen, my youngest sis who loves blogging here...

Autumn and Sylvia, my dearest sis who is getting married soon!!

After the 11th dish, we were all blotted, too full to continue.....

and i was like.....

You know what happened to me?? 

My lips started swelling, and there were little rashes around them. So ichy and burning but........ I SANGGUP!!!

Wahahaha... You guys must be thinking that why am a so "Tam- Chiak", I'm a born-to-be seafood lover! I only started to get these types of allergy after i came back from my 9 months stay in KK. Maybe too much of Fresh Tiger Prawns??!! Yeah, we were harvesting those Giant Tiger Prawns, steamed it immediately when they are still alive and jumping...Ate too much of the fresh ones so my body became choosy??? it's only my own Crazy theory... LOL

Everything was perfect, even the total amount was only RM200!! Surpisingly cheap!

However, the management of this Food Centre really needs to look into the Cleanliness & hgiene of this place! Toilet and hand washing sink was extremely dirty!! Worse still when those to throw rubbish also squeeze into the patrons' lift!! Shouldn't there be a "loading/ unloading lift", which is specially for those rubbish and ingredients??
