East Coast Gastro Fest: Restoran Muhibbah, Kuantan

August 20th, 2007 at 1:32am

With Lydia still craving for her fix of Fried Sotong and me yearning to learn the roads in Kuantan, we drove into the then unknown territories of Padang Lalang (well,… unknown to us). Since it is an industrial area, Padang Lalang looks like the kind of place that is so well suited for filming the local industrial horror stories at night.

We were about to turn back when I noticed a small road sign. Following 3 of the same signs later led us to a brightly lit corner behind a seafood processing factory cars all parked until it backed up into the main road.

Your typical seafood restaurant, Malaysian Chinese style. Fumbling with our limited Cantonese food vocabulary we just requested for several recommendations including Lydia’s much craved for Fried Sotong.

Restoran Muhibbah, Kuantan: Fried Sotong
These were served as CHUNKS deep fried to a golden hue. You don’t usually get chunky squid served like that in Kuala Lumpur.
The second dish that arrived was a steaming metal dish of fried mee hoon with about 2 1/2 crabs.

Nothing really fancy or different about this, but it’s got really fresh crab meat that you can dig into
The final dish were some prawns with hints of oyster sauce, green pepper, shallots and black sauce. I really can’t recall the proper name of the way these prawns were done, but they were pretty good.
The whole dining experience only cost us barely RM50.00 so it was quite worth it for a meal for two.Here’s what Lydia’s own thoughts. That’s probably cause she’s gotten her craving for fried sotong ;P
