Pantai Seafood Restaurant – Petaling Jaya Malaysia
I have been busy lately but here’s a heads up if you are traveling to Petaling Jaya in Malaysia. This no-frills restaurant may just be the place you can enjoy seafood (live tanks), some local cze char dishes and double-boiled soups.
This is where the locals eat! The restaurant may be no-frills but their dishes are no nonsense! I especially liked the steamed pomfret Teochew style. The tangy sour gravy made me order some rice (after we had noodles) to go with it.

I traveled to Kuala Lumpur immediately after my Taiwan trip to meet up with a friend who flew into Malaysia from Canada.
My Canadian friend had several supplier meetings and they treated us to yummy makan (food) and Pantai Seafood Restaurant is one of them.

I had thought the green shreds to be seaweed but they were actually the leafy parts of the Kailan (kale).

Steamed Pomfret Teochew-style.
I was blown away when my host told me this was a “live” fish.
I have never had a swimming (just prior to ordering and cooking) promfet before. In Singapore, most if not all promfets are chilled/frozen.
The food is generally good if not excellent by food snob standard; I’ll risk by saying that the dishes will be delighting even the fussy Singaporean tastebuds! As for the price… Sorry, my friend’s host gave us a treat and it would be rude for me to ask him how much he spent on us when I only got to know him.
Happy eating and bonding 🙂

No frills and no nonsense. Sounds perfect particularly for 2 jet setting friends. Do you ever rest?
Only when I’m sick and I am now. Hahaha…
