Sweet and Spicy Crabs... you will want some mantou to soak up the sauce.
The Peking Bone has tender chunks of meat in a dark sweet sauce.SHAH ALAM, June 4 Its a new restaurant in a growing suburb, trying to find the right formula for success as it dishes out goodies to regular diners who live or work here.Restoran KK Ocean Sky in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, has somewhat succeeded, not only in the wide range of dishes on its menu, but also its reasonable price point. On a weekend you would find families dining there.Its comfort food you get here: Peking Bone (braised pork), Claypot Brinjal with Salted Fish, Spicy Sweet and Sour Crab, Penang Curry Fishhead, Fei Choi Tofu and Twin Style Prawns, and Traditional Style Steamed Garoupa among others.
The Claypot Brinjal with Salted Fish is a winner here.The Peking Bone is like a Tung Por Yook. Its pork belly attached to a prime rib. The rib is roasted, then braised till the meat is tender and succulent. The fatty meat glistens, doused in the dark sweet sauce, and make flavourful bites.The Claypot Brinjal with Salted Fish was a hit all round. You could get the stirring aroma of the salted fish in the braised creamy brinjal with minced pork and mushrooms, with chilli and spring onions. Truly a home-style dish, this went so well with rice.The Penang Curry Fishhead had a meaty garoupa fishhead in a curry with all the right nuances. The fragrance of the spices came through in this curry rich with coconut milk. For me the best part of a good fish curry is not only the fish but also the vegetables eggplant, tomato, long beans and ladies fingers. These had soaked in all the flavours of the scrumptious curry that also had lots of Indian curry leaves in it.
Creamy and luscious... the Penang Fish Head Curry.If you have children eating with you, the Fei Choi Tofu is a good choice. It has fish paste blended with tofu, shaped up, fried and finished with an eggy sauce with crabmeat, chopped prawns and baby bok choi. The tofu patties were rather bland but they had a smooth and bouncy texture.
The Traditional Steamed Garoupa has crispy ginger shreds and garlic to give it a lift. We were told that the Traditional Style Steamed Garoupa has found favour with the regulars, because of its sauce. Its a lightly sweet one, tasting all the better because of the crispy fried ginger shreds and garlic on top of the fish.Twin Style Prawns presented large prawns cooked Indonesian style in a sweet curry sauce on one side, and a Kam Sar one with the prawns deepfried, finished in a butter sauce and coated with chicken floss. Of the two I preferred the Kam Sar one the prawns had a rich aroma and the sticky creamy sauce coating them was delicious.
Twin Style Prawns... done perfectly.The Spicy Sweet and Sour Crabs would have tasted better if the sauce had been less sweet. It needed a tart lift from perhaps a little vinegar. Still, the thick sauce, with lots of ginger and chilli spicing it up, had those at our table asking for fried mantou to mop it up.The prices: The Peking Bone is RM20, Claypot Brinjal RM12, Fei Choi Tofu RM12, Curry Fishhead RM25, Crabs RM42 a kg and Steamed Garoupa RM6 per 100g.At lunch time, you can choose from a menu of 100 dishes, with each priced at RM10.
