What is a trip to Sabah without Seafood being part of it ?

Unheard of!!

So after the long day at the Wildlife Park, off we go to Gayang Seafood Restaurant. According to my cousin, this restaurant is usually the choice for local while tourist usually picks Salut Seafood because it is like the first restaurant you will reach around this area. Gayang is located further down the road and not really visible from the main road.

The first thing you do before going to your table is to choose the live seafood which will be served to you in a  bit! See the huge  selection they have here? Actually Penang also got already

Noticed the plastic bottles in the tank? Each of the bottle actually contains 1 mantis prawn!! The boss explained that by doing this, the mantis can be separated with each other and will not fight. Thus, the mantis served will be in perfect condition. wow wow..

Plenty of Unagi.

The restaurant is shaped like a huge canopy on stilt next to the mangrove. or on the mangrove. whichever is more correct ..This is the crowd at 6plus in the evening.. we were lucky we managed to arrive early before it’s packed to the brim.

The view we had while waiting for our dishes. Very serene.

First up, Sabah weird vegetable #1 . Sabah Shu Cai Choy which I don’t like. But don’t take my word for it as I hate vegetables in case you haven’t noticed yet. Most of my food blog doesnt have vegetable

Sabah Egg noodle. We had this instead of rice. Not bad, but if you had too much, doesn’t taste so nice anymore.

We also had softshell crab but i think everyone will know how it look like, hence no pictures. The Mantis prawn was like RM20 each i think or less. I should have done this blog long ago. Almost forgotten most of it -__-

I suppose the way we had it cooked was wrong as the meat was hard to chew on.

We were actually very full at that time with just 3 person but every single table had the prawns. The table in front of us have like 4 plates of it and we just HAD to have it!!

I think MrSmallFace and CousinTing can vouched for me that it was the best decision we had made that evening. It was seriously damn good!! It’s cooked in a very simple way, buttered.

It tasted so good and mainly its because the prawns are so fresh!!

To show you the size of the prawns. Soft reminder, my face is very big so you can imagine the size of it ya T__T

The best part of it was the prawns cost us like RM20 only!!! DIRT CHEAP isnt it?

We polished everything off nevertheless. The entire meal cost us about RM120 and it comes free with coconut pudding.

A recommended dining experience for those who are looking for seafood in KK. You will have to drive there though or take a cab.

Never expected that a local production would be so so sought after until i need to kept on trying to get tickets for 2 weeks. -___-

I thought after Yasmin Ahmad passing,  Malaysia movie industry will be bleak.

I was wrong! Woohoo was beautifully made!

Its was so funny, the lines are cleverly infused with local puns and jokes. Especially making fun oh Penang “slang”. Got Meh??? Abit Nia la… cis cis

Also contains  some moral values in it. Like bits about Family, ah kong, ah ma, ah pa stories. But all in all, very nicely made. (mentioned dont no how many times already )

The mood setting of the entire film is very nice as well. Don’t know how they are able to capture the beauty of Malaysia kampung life. It’s like 500 days of Summer minus love story, more localize

Some boring fact for those who might want to know before watching the movie

“Woohoo!”

Synopsis:
“Woohoo” (tiger dance) is a tradition practiced in a small village – Beserah, Kuantan during a praying ceremony every 60 years. As the only old-aged heir of “Woohoo” can no longer perform, his filial granddaughter put up a misleading advertisement which then attracted five youngsters from different background – Ah Beng, a bad-tempered bank security, Ah Huat, an indecisive Char Kuey Teow hawker, Rain, a sissy but soft-hearted designer, Bobby, a university student who likes to crap, and Alan, a show-off – to be trained as “Woohoo” players.

Now, go and support our local film!! Very recommend to all..

Happy super long weekend !!! Looking forward to 6pm today and going off work  hahahahha
