Unpolished Diamond at the Edges of Bagan Lalang

The best buddy and I decided to take a impromptu day road trip to Bagan Lalang in Sepang. Having been there before I offered to drive and with a little help of my trusted GPS app Waze we were well on our way. 

The idea was to get there before Sunset so we could a) find a good restaurant b) not get lost. Although Waze got us to Golden Palm Tree Iconic Resort & Spa , but it got a little confusing when finding the restaurants that fellow bloggers had mentioned; as there were no landmarks or GPS coordinates given. 

Long story short it was close to 9.30pm by then and we were getting hungry. There was an option to drive to Pork Dickson about 15km away, but the best buddy decided we should give those unknown restaurants a chance. 

So anyways we ended up at this really hut'ish kind of restaurant by the beach. With truck loads of patrons - now logic states if there are a truck load of patrons the food has to be out-of-the-freaking-milky-way!

The best buddy doesn't do seafood but ever so wonderful to insists that I have what I wanted. So I went into an overdrive and ordered what usually would cost a bomb in the city. 

2 Flower Crabs cooked Masak Cili Goreng dengar Telur aka Fried with Chilli  and egg and 1 Sotong that was going to be Sotong Goreng Tepung aka Batter Fried Calamari Rings.

We also ordered Ayam Masak Merah aka Chicken cooked In Chilli and Tomato Sauce and Sayur Campur aka Mixed Vegetables.

The other part of logic hadn't hit me - where there is truck loads of patrons you also need to wait - and so the waiting game began, after what seemed like an hour and a thirty minutes lo and behold -the food arrived! Yayyyy

The fried Calamari was crunchy yet had that excellent chewy bit to it .The batter was light and flavored just right and went well with the sweet chilli dip. 

The crabs were mama-mia ! Magnificante! The chillies and onion were fried fragrantly where it makes you salivate - tehee :-) 

The crabs were so sweet and fresh, not as meaty as I had expected but nonetheless worth that what seemed forever wait. 

The Ayam Masak Merah seemed like their version of Padprik but the best buddy didn't really care - he was chowing it down! Hungry mah :(

The Sayur Campur aka Mixed Vegetables  wasn't anything to shout about. I wished they had used a better variety of vegetables but nonetheless it was edible so who cares :).

The bill came upto RM 58.40 believe you me I almost died from laughing hysterically after paying the bill. Didn't want to scare those nice people - I still wanna go back there again :) 

So readers of this blog if you have nothing much to do on a weekend and just wanna get away from KL for a couple of hours head down to bagan lalang for some good R&R and dirt cheap out of this world fresh and kicking alive seafood!

On another note - if you cant drive down to bagan lalang - but really craving for some really good selection of  fresh Seafood head to TESCO and if you can't do not fret - Tesco Delivers!
