Chu4 Part I - Villa Seafood Restaurant

This been second year I'm heading to this Villa Seafood Restaurant @ Kampung Cina, Sitiawan for fresh seafood. Paying a visit to my ex-colleagues definitely is a must once a year during CNY. Co-incidence this group of ladies are from same state, Perak different district but did not let me down from visiting them. My trip to Sitiawan from Teluk Intan using coastal road slightly 45min with the average 100km driving speed. Arriving in the noon time, Soo took the gang and me for lunch.

From Sitiawan town to this Villa Seafood Restaurant at Kampung Cina, Sitiawan took above 20min drive. Worry of getting there? Fred not, address will be posting at the bottom of the blog later. According to Soo Villa Seafood Restaurant shifted to cater more capacities of customers. For the new outlet, just go straight from the older location. Once you reach an intersection, take a left and after 1km, you will see the new outlet on your left.

Approximately we arrived at 12pm, so called early not much people yet, we have a chance to choose better place for seating. Soo chosen a small little hut act like chalet just enough for 4-6 peoples in a table. It's outside and we have own privacy while enjoying food most important it's away noise from inside. Chilling and relaxing under fan plus windy, right after place ordered for a few dishes.

Villa Seafood Restaurant famous for fresh coconut, can't resist myself from ordering a big coconut to east my thirst at the noon time. Juicy and white flesh of the coconut elastic, just scoop it out wit your spoon to eat. Aside here also famous for the Toddy [Coconut Flower wine / Yeh Fa Jau]. Toddy here is served at room temperature. If you like, you can ask for some ice to chill your toddy, but I recommend drinking it at room temperature. While waiting food to arrive, we had a few photos sessions for our memories.

We had Loh Mee this year, compare to previous year with rice. Slightly for a change Loh Mee here is good to eat. Home made yellow mee combine with thick soy sauce cooked with seafood, mushrooms and green vegetables. Next is stir Sang Choy with carrots [green vege], stir Fried Lala with dried chilies, Fried Soft shell Crabs wrapped with bread crumbs. Everything is fresh, juicy. Thumb up!!

Oh Chien [Fried Osyter]

Lastly, famous is the Oh Chien [Fried Osyter]. Oh Chien in particular, was very crispy at the sides, with juicy M-size oysters deep-fried with batter and eggs. Paired with the famous Kampung Koh chilli sauce, the Oh Chien was almost snack-like, requiring no rice as complement. But this year quality so so only compare to previous year. Perhaps not crunchy enough and also wet and oily. Overall I would said is not bad. Had wonderful lunch in this restaurant. I would also like take this opportunity to thank Soo for the lunch treats. Hope to meet you again next year. Happy Chinese Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, Huat Huat Huat!! xD
