Grilled Seafood @ Hing Ket Grill House 庆吉烧烤海鲜屋(2nd Visit)

Last weekend, planned to go Genting with Moon and Cheong J, but the traffic jammed like nobody's business due to school holidays just started, eventually we gave up the thought and took a U-turn back. To cheer Moon up, I suggested a CRAB Feast... Yes, Hing Ket, that's the place in my mind.Moon is always kiasu, she said better to secure a table with phone booking, so I called. I didn’t have enough of the crab during our last visit, and this time I told the guy out there to reserve 4 crabs and I recapped it must be the BIGGEST ones! Then, we got back to Moon’s house to fetch Moon’s parents. Moon suggested an early departure due the previous photos turned out so dark, she hoped she could get a better snap this time. Since all people heading to Genting, Kesas Highway was clear and took us just 40 minutes to arrive before the sky turned dark. Apart from my must order grilled crab, Moon added a few new items namely the salt baked prawn, grilled squid, grilled stingray and oyster omelet.Like I said to Moon, salt baked would never go wrong with fresh prawns (RM19 for 8pcs), the flesh was springy & sweet. Grilled lamb is Moon's favorite, we ordered 2 pieces (RM15) for that.We requested the lamb to be cut into bite size so that Moon’s parents could enjoy it without much trouble. According to Cheong J, the smoky aroma pervaded from the “melt in the mouth” lamb’s fat was divine and this makes him become a fan of it too. Stingray (RM18) grilled with curry powder was served in one big chunk, flesh was moist and delicate, yet to be frank, I still prefer the one served at Jalan Alor with savored crispy skin.Grilled squid laden on a banana leave was chewy. It's supposed to be eaten with their special dip. Someone recommended me the fried tapioca noodle (RM8). It seemed less popular among all the good food on table probably due to its sticky feature.

As for the oyster omelet (Hor Jian), wasn't any WAH factor. in fact RM20 seems a little pricey.

Lastly, a little elaboration on the STAR which I had been constantly raving for since my last visit with Wong. When crabs (RM45 per kg, RM112 for 4 crabs) were sent to us, I could see parents in law's mouth dropped open like "O".

Look! The CRAB MAN!!!!!!!

The meat of the crab was firm and stuck on the shell, an evidence of true freshness. The smoky aroma was so appetising and I personally think it requires no other seasoning as the meat itself was sweet enough. After the meal, we were all bloated. A plate of fruit platter was served as soon as we called for the bill....Over all, this was a satisfying meal for me!*burp*

Precious Pea’s blog was so influential, after reading her post, Moon told Wong she was raving for the grilled lamb at Kampung Jawa, without much details, he already knew which restaurant she was referring.

Kampung Jawa was a total strange place. Thanks God, with Wong’s precise instruction as below, we managed to find the place without much puzzle.

1. Take the Kesas Highway from KL heading to Klang.
2. After the third toll, you will see a signboard of “Kambung Jalan Kebun / Kampung Jawa”.
3. Keep left and drives for 2KM. Follow the signboard and drive up the bridge.
4. Turn right and go straight until you see a mini roundabout
(The road is under construction that’s why you may find it a little bit congested).
5. Exit the mini roundabout by 12 o’clock direction.
6. You still have to drive a little further. As soon as passing the 2nd traffic light, check the left. It's opposite direction of the Mosque.

Yeah, Hing Ket Grill House! Moon recognized the signboard even though the sky already turned dark.Since Wong is a resident there, we made him to decide what to have for the night. Grilled crab, grilled ikan kampung and grilled lamb, we had mostly grilled stuff. Well, this is a "grill house", if not grilled stuff, what else would it be!? To make it merrier, Wong ordered a bottle of chilled Tiger… Kanpai, Kanpai, Kanpai( 乾杯)!!!!!

Of course, protein itself is not enough to feed up the tummies, only carbohydrate gives energy, that’s also the reason we added a plate of la-la fried mihun. however, you may just forget it as this was too mediocre to be compared to Yong Tat....

When the crab sent to us, I know I would never get enough of it. This is how exactly I like my crab to be cooked, the most indigenous way, YES! To deal with it, it has to be Barbarian dining manner, cracked the shell with hammer & tools while debris of shell scattered all over, very messy indeed but who cares!? The crab meat stuck on the shell was SSSO SWEET, an envidence of true freshness which required no further seasoning...... since Wong was taking care of the bill, I was too shy to ask for additional order *lol* ….…...

As for grilled ikan kampung, basically Moon and I had the same opinion, think the fish was too thick hence it's moist and not fragrant enough! Lamb is also a signature here that wins the vote of most local foodies, Moon loves it too. Apologize for poor picture quality, as we were sitting at the open-air area with no direct lighting.All in all, this was a pleasant dining session, thanks to Moon who always brings me surprise, & Wong for a sumptuous dinner!

"I’ll be back, SOON...” I told Moon.
