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)

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
