Desaru Delights: A Lobster Feast at Harbourfront Seafood

 


If you’re searching for a seafood experience that’s more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride, let me introduce you to Harbourfront Seafood in Desaru. This place doesn’t just serve seafood; it delivers an all-out crustacean carnival. We’re talking about lobsters, crabs, and clams that’ll make your taste buds dance the cha-cha. So grab a bib, loosen your belt, and let’s dive into this shellfish smorgasbord!

The Lobster Extravaganza - Lobster in 上湯 Gravy: A Symphony in a Bowl

First up, the lobster in 上湯 gravy. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to taste heaven, this is it. Priced at RM158, this dish is worth every penny. The gravy was thick, savoury, and clung to the lobster flesh like a needy ex. Each bite of the lobster was crunchy and delectable, making it the unanimous favourite at our table. It’s the kind of dish that makes you want to write poetry and send thank-you notes to the chef.

Lobster Steamed with Garlic: Garlicky Goodness

Next on our lobster tour was the steamed garlic lobster, also priced at RM158. This dish brought a garlic punch so strong it could ward off an entire vampire clan. The lobster was fresh, and the garlic added a delightful zing without overpowering the natural sweetness of the seafood. It was a garlicky wonderland that had us all licking our fingers and reaching for seconds.

Crab-tastic Creations - Salted Egg Crab: The King of Crabs

Our crab of choice was the salted egg crab, coming in at RM126. This dish was a revelation. The salted egg sauce was effusive and coated the crab like a golden, delicious armour. The crab meat itself was fresh and juicy, making every mouthful a joyous occasion. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel like royalty, even if you’re wearing a bib and cracking shells with your teeth.

Clam Calamities - Kam Hiong Lala: Almost There

We also sampled the “lala” or clams, cooked in kam hiong style for RM28. While the kam hiong sauce was aromatic and packed a punch, it somewhat overshadowed the natural umami taste of the clams. Don’t get me wrong; it was still a tasty dish, but it didn’t quite hit the high notes like our lobster and crab friends.

Overall Experience

Our meal at Harbourfront Seafood Desaru was quite the seafood saga. The lobsters were the undisputed stars of the show, with the crab coming in a close second. The clams were decent but paled in comparison to their shellfish siblings. The ambience of the restaurant was relaxed, and the service was prompt, making the overall dining experience enjoyable and satisfying.

If you find yourself in Desaru with a hankering for seafood, Harbourfront Seafood is a must-visit. Just remember to bring your appetite and maybe a wheelbarrow to roll yourself out afterwards. Happy feasting!

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
