East Hokkaido Seafood Restaurant

East Hokkaido located at 20C, Jalan Bagan Jermal is a nicely lighted up seafood restaurant which you will never miss while on the road. Few weeks back, we both got to try out this place with a bunch of friends. We were seated in a private room which had a Karaoke set playing, but we were all too shy to sing.

So our friends did the ordering as they have been here several times before. There were 8 of us and this is what we had.

The pigging session begins!!!

Dish 1: Fried Pigeons
I chickened out to try this dish and so I passed my pigeon to Ed to eat. It was his first time also. He said that the meat was sweet and tender.


Dish 2: Soup with Century Egg
Soup was nice and tasty. It had century egg, normal egg and some leafy vegetables in it. Very nice


Dish 3: Steamed Prawns
Prawns were big and juicy. Steamed with only salt it tasted good. You get to taste the original prawny taste.


Dish 4: Beancurd
Beancurn was cooked in some sour sweet sauce.


Dish 5: Steamed Pomfret
First the dish came, then the lady came with a bowl of plain beehon noodles. At first I thought why, then saw her slowly mixing the noodles together with the gravy in the serving plate. So at the end, you have the fish together with the beehoon which was soaked up with the tau yu gravy from the fish. Pretty interesting. Well it was something new for us and we liked it. Fish was absolutely good. Wished I wasn't so shy to clean up the whole fish (still had flesh in between the bones)

The fish

Then comes the beehon mixing

Walla! ready to eat

Dish 5: The mother of all dishes!! It is called The 4 Kingdoms
It was a really huge plate nicely stacked up with layers of lobster, crab, squid and lala. The gravy that came with this was absolutely good. It was sour, sweet and spicy. Thumbs up for this dish.


It was really a good meal we had here. We ate so much that we left the place feeling all guilty. We both would like to thank a friend who paid for the dinner that night. We owe you one!
