Ceylon Crab House - Kuala Lumpur

-

Ceylon Crab House is located at Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC). This is the first time I had Sri Lankan food. We reached there around 7pm and the restaurant is empty. BSC is like a dead mall and I wonder how long this restaurant will sustain. Since we are the only customer, the staff are very attentive and friendly. Basically we are here to try their Sri Lankan Crabs. There's three types of Sri Lankan Crabs: 

1. XXL - RM 22 per 100g
2. XXXL - RM 24 per 100g
3. Jumbo - RM 26 per 100g

We ordered the XXL Sri Lankan crabs (~ 900g) cooked in Negombo curry style, chicken varuval, Sri Lankan Roast Paan and white rice. Roast Paan is Sri Lanka's most loved traditional type of bread but it tastes just like normal bread to me. I love chicken varuval, spicy dry fried chicken cooked with roasted curry powder, onions, ginger, garlic and fresh tamarind juice. However, their chicken varuval is just too spicy for my liking and lack of flavour. In fact, one of the chicken tastes as if it's been frozen too long. Besides that, their rice is a bit too hard for my liking.

Overall the highlight food of the night is the Sri Lankan crab! The crab meat is very fresh. It has a bouncy flesh, moist and sweet. I might say this is one of the best crab we have ever eaten. The sauce has an exceptional aroma, lightly textured curry and delicately spiced.

Total bill - RM 271.70 (including service charge of RM 24.70)

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to leave
