Restaurant Sea Palace

Came here with my relatives one day for an 8 course dinner. This Restaurant called Sea Palace is located in Taman Pekaka area. You will never miss this huge building there. Restaurant is on the 1st floor. Never been here before for any dinner occasions, so this was my first time trying.

Dish 1: Four Seasons
We were served with 4 different types of dishes here all served in a huge plate. The black dish was paddy chicken (frogs) cooked with dried chillies. I stayed far away from this dish though (goose bumbs standing). Then on the left side, it was a jelly fish dish with slices of abalone cooked in a sweetish spicy sauce. The abalone had some fishy-ness taste to it. Then the next dish at the bottom was chicken followed by some fish cake thing which had bits of water chestnuts in it. Pretty interesting.

Dish 1: Four Seasons

Dish 2: Sharks fins soup
It actually had a tiny bit of real sharks fin in it and alot of crab meat and crab eggs in it.

Dish 2: Sharks fins soup

Dish 3: Roasted Chicken
Chicken here was roasted I guess as the skin was really crispy. What was unique about this dish was that you are suppose to dip the chicken in the special salt they gave. It was quiet nice.

The special salt

Dish 4: Brocolli with mushrooms
Something normal. It had brocolli and cauliflower with all sorts of mushrooms

Dish 4: Brocolli with mushrooms
Dish 5: Nestum Prawns
If there is nestum with prawns, it is always my number 1 favourite. Nestum was tasty and had slices of finely sliced kaffir leaves in it.

Dish 5: Nestum Prawns
Dish 6: Mango Fish
This was good. Instead of the whole steam fish with bones, this dish served fish slices (no bones!) cooked together with mango and onions. It tasted good. It had a sweetish-sour taste to it. Something like a kerabu mango taste.

Dish 6: Mango Fish

Dish 7: Fried Noodles
The Chinese call this noodles Emperor Noodles (Ong Tei mee). The noodles were fried together with chicken, pork, prawns and vegetables. It looked simple but it was tasty. I loved it.

Dish 8: Dessert
We had Honeydew Sago served for dessert. It was really refreshing. What they used was so simple; put some sago, melt some vanilla ice cream and toss in some ice cubes. Simple but lovely as a dessert.

Dish 8: Dessert


So this is about it. 8 dishes tried that night. Food was good. Price I am not sure how much it cost. However am not sure if the place can survive. That whole night, we were the only table there eating.

Sharks fins? Please! Asians and their gastronomic excesses are the main contributor to the diminishing shark population in this world. Not to mention how the fishermen mutilate the sharks just to harvest their fins. . A friend just came back from KK and told us they were serving beautiful coral fishes (caught illegally)in the restaurants. Sorry, I am a diver and I feel strongly about this.If there is no demand, there will not be supply
