It was about 30 minutes drive before we saw lights and we immediately settled for this roadside seafood restaurant which seemed to be beckoning to our growling stomachs!
Hailam Seafood
This seemed like a family-run business and your typical local Chinese restaurant
They used their local brand of chili sauce, which seemed to taste pretty good!
We ordered coconut juice to quench our thirst
(somehow I always associate coconut juice with vacation=)
As for the dishes, these were what we ordered:
Kung Pow Mantis prawns
Deep fried threadfin with three tastes
This was recommended by the lady who took our order; and it was excellent (or were we just too hungry?)
Stir-fried brussel sprouts
Three dishes for the night which we enjoyed to every bite
Besides the great taste of their food, the prices came comparatively reasonable too!
Kung Pow mantis prawns = RM8
Deep fried threadfin = RM20
Stir-fried mantis prawns = RM8
Total bill came to less than RM40; coconut juices and rice included!
I guess it was a blessing after all to have missed that hotel BBQ seafood buffet dinner, or we won't have discovered this gem hidden in Lumut!
Too bad it was really late at night, but the directions are quite simple, when you came out of Damai Laut resort junction, turn right and just go all the way straight until you come to a traffic light (drive about 30 minutes).
Keep to your left and turn before you reach the traffic lights. If you missed it, just make a U-turn.
I hope that helps?
the chili sauce is great, i have a bottle in my kitchen :)
ReplyDeleteSeafood is good for you because it is low in fat and high in protein. Most fish contain oils that are called omega-3. These oils can help prevent some diseases and treat certain types of illness. The eel is one type of seafood that contains a high fat content, but only a very few types of seafood contain fat.
ReplyDeleteBeing on a seafood diet can be considered a very smart and healthy thing to do. There is a long list of diseases that eating fresh fish can help prevent. In countries where the women eat less red meat and more seafood, they have less problems with breast cancer. Another disease that seafood seems to help prevent is Alzheimer’s.
