Gee Seng Seafood, Bukit Tambun

What would you think of, when comes to seafood??

I would think of the price to pay, and the freshness of the seafood that am going to take. Well, both are equally important, cuz, you wouldn’t want to pay for an expensive seafood meal yet those seafood ain’t fresh at all, right?

I believe many have come to know Bukit Tambun is a seafood heaven especially of the freshness and the price also.

It was a weekend, and our domestic minister is on strike. Therefore, her general decided to take her for a seafood dinner in Bukit Tambun. Actually at first, we thought of going to Batu Kawan, Ah Ean Seafood, well, it was 7 plus and the place is full of people, some are even lining up for place to sit. Not to mention those that are sitting down there waiting for food.

With that circumstances, all of us divert from Batu Kawan to Bukit Tambun for seafood, after all, we are all out for seafood.
Gee Seng Seafood is actually the last restaurant along the congested street, and I know down the road there is another seafood restaurant where car can’t drive in at all. Anyway, when we were there, the place is full, and we could still see people coming in for food.

Of course, with the general whistle, all the soldiers were looking for place to sit, cuz, our dear domestic minister is hungry. The moment we spotted a table, there goes, our order….

Steam crabs
Fried Mee Teow (炒麵條)
Fried Mee Hoon (炒米粉)
Stir Fried Vegetable (清炒蔬菜)
Fried Oyster Omelettes (蠔煎)
Baby Octopus (章魚) Local called it "Too Boh Swiing"
Tomyam Steam Fish
Kam Heong Clam (金香炒蛤), Hokkien called it ‘kala’, I guess it’s under the ‘lala’ family.
Of course, not to miss Satay

Guess how much we have spent??? Well, with so much of food and some of us order a few bottles of beer, all in all is less than RM130 for the dinner.

Taste wise, everything is good and up to our expectation except the fried oyster omelettes (蠔煎) which we find it a bit of alien taste. Cuz, we have never tried on fried oyster omelettes with a bit of curry powder. I would say it’s an acquire taste of it.

Well, needless to say more or write more… if you’re an adventurous glutton, go and explore further in Bukit Tambun…. After this seafood meal, our domestic minister was happily declared no more strike!!!

Phew, … that was close huh?!!

The food is fairly good but wait till u see the flies. I believe the amount of flies can easily lift a sauce plate.
