Restoran Makanan Laut Lung Seng @Tanjung Tualang.

If you happen to be around Mambang Diawan (Fairies in the Clouds)
Tanjung Tualang is just not too far away.

Restoran Makanan Laut Lung Seng is one of the earlier restaurant to 
serve freshwater prawn and is also  fully air-conditioned.

Located about 30 minutes away from Kampar town.

The main draw in  this small, sleepy hollow of Tanjung Tualang town is their 
freshwater prawn, seafood restaurants and a Sunday Pasar Malam.

 We had freshwater prawns + sea prawn (not enough of freshwater prawns)
cooked in kon chin har lok styled-very fresh, sweet, succulent and fragrant.

Boiled Cuttlefish with freshly diced green cucumber and big onion doused
in a thick, sweet and spicy Rojak-like sauce with lots of crushed peanuts.

Grouper fish head with long beans, okra, brinjal cooked in a creamy"lemak" 
spicy Indian styled curry - very appetizing and goes well with rice.

Marmite pork ribs was well marinated and tender.

House made Tofu was silky smooth-topped with a Tapioca flour reduced
brown sauce with shrimp, sliced carrot, mushroom, young baby corn and pea bean.

Overall a good spread of food for the eight of us.

Parking is OK.

CNY Dinner @ Dragon Star Seafood Restaurant..

This will be the tenth time we are having Yee Sang for dinner.

Tonight it was at Dragon Star Seafood Restaurant, one of my favorite restaurant.

The Salmon Yee Sang @ Rm40 for half portion was only just average, saved for those cashew nuts that we added to it which added some nutty flavor with every bite.

The rest of the dishes were consistent with what they usually served and was up to our expectations except for the Tofu. 

Overall a great and affordable dinner to end the CNY !
