Robson Heights Seafood Restaurant, Kuala Lumpur

(NON-HALAL)

It has been awhile since I last did dinner with The Flogger Sistas and when I eventually met up with them, it was a night of great company and of course glorious food! Precious Pea picked me up and drove to Robson Heights - thanks for always driving me around at night as you fear for my life (and yours should I be driving you instead!) due to my history of loss vision from the retina detachment episode I had :o).

After taking a wrong turn (sorry, I wasn't of much help since I'm hopeless with road directions and I had only been here once before and that was eons ago!), we manage to find our way after making several calls to Boo_licious and it turns out that it was rather easy to find as Robson Heights Seafood Restaurant is located quite near to the main road. Arriving there, Lyrical Lemongrass , Paprika and Boo were already there. After complimenting one another on how great we look with our recent new hairstyles (hehe...our girlie talk - it's been quite awhile) we proceeded to order. How did we go about that? Simple....just go with whatever is printed on their wet towel packet!

Errr....we couldn't have possibly ordered everything that was printed (there were 6 of us - Paprika's cousin arrived shortly after the food was served) and we chose a few. We were hungry and excited, anticipating the arrival of the goodies till we suddenly realised that we didn't order any vege dish and decided to leave it as that as we had definitely ordered enough. Whether we chose well and good or not, read on...I would like to point out that the photos are not too clear or taken at a bad angle as I shot them in a hurry - we were hungry and we didn't want to eat cold food as there were four of us taking pics and I couldn't take my time as usual!

First to arrive were the Baked Spare Ribs in Honey Sauce. It was a wonderful start - the meat fell off the bones and almost melted in the mouth. Highly recommended - just make sure you ask for not so lean ones as the lean ones will tend to have you chew on it more :o)

The Stir Fried Intestines with Dried Prawns and Chilli Padi came next - I'm not particularly fond of intestines unless it's the really crispy ones (the ones I usually eat with porridge, yumz!) and tried just a bit of this. While the dish wasn't really to my liking, I did like munching on the dried prawns, very flavourful. I even added this to my bowl for more oomph when I ate the next dish.

THEY CAME FROM BENEATH! :p
Claypot Glass Noodles with Water Prawns - We had 3 prawns, split into half. The prawns were huge, fresh and firm and the glass noodles were simply delicious as the soup tasted prawnylicious! Hahaha.... The soup was sweet and fragrant and we not only cleared the prawns and glass noodles but drank every drop of the soup (well, that and also the fact that the glass noodles soaked up some too). Oh, it was then we concluded that we DID have vegetables that night - the garnishing! Hahaha....

Then we had the steamed crabs - of which I had one helping only as I prefer this style the least. Most seafood lovers would say this is the best way but since I have an aversion to fishy tasting food, I rather have my seafood any other way except steamed! The rest of them said that this was okay and we all pronounce the next dish as THE star of the night...

The Salted Egg Yolk Crabs! Definitely a "Shiok" experience (so much so, even the alphabet "S" appeared on the shell!). The last time I had a taste of such a dish was in Lukut but Robson Heights' is better and the place is definitely nearer. The crabs were also very fresh and firm and the salted egg yolk bits filled almost every nook and cranny of the crabs. It was yummylicious albeit a tad sweet in my opinion ... almost perfect if not for that.

I took this shot of the restaurant from the car as we were leaving. We had forgotten to do so as we were so engrossed with the food and conversation! Hee hee...

The Flogger Sistas will be going again this week and sadly, I am unable to join them. Their mission this time around is to try the rest of the stuff from the "menu". Ahhh...I can only sit back and look at this blog post while they partake in another round of glorious food - with great company to boot! Well, I'm sure when it comes to Robson Heights Seafood Restaurant, there will always be a next time - a time when I can make it! Happy eating, Sistas!
