RESTORAN FATTY CRAB SDN BHD

After flying home from their holiday( Bangkok),my daughter Mindy and her husband Sam played hosts to celebrate my one hundred blog. Oh! what a compliment. After all the Tom Yam Koong, she still needs to have her fix of crabs. I remembered when my wife was pregnant (with Mindy), we ate a lots of crabs, maybe she inherited the habit.Well, tonight the five of was at Restoran Fatty Crabs, a place synonymous for their hot, sweet, fiery and spicy crabs. The food served is very consistent and the place is clean and spacious. The ground floor is open dining with ceiling fans for comfort while the upstairs dining area is air conditioned. The restaurant is always packed with a potpourri of people-no reservation -first come first serve policy! The food served here is halal too, and they only accept cash!

One of longest, surviving and successful food court in Petaling Jaya, is the Ming Tien food court in Taman Megah. Surrounding it are famous landmark restaurants like Secret Recipe, Bayu Timur, Fatty Crabs, Pangkor fish head curry, La Manila...etc. The concept is tropical with thatched attap roofs, some bullock carts wheel tables and the recorded sound of birds chirping away. The stalls are arranged in a square shape, along the perimeter side of the food court. The food offered are unique-local, fusion and Asian cuisine too!
