WG Messy

It was back in 2014 that I bought takeaway from Crab Factory, PJ. Only after about 3 years, I stepped into this eatery again to dine in for lunch. We ordered from the individual ala carte menu instead of the combo value meals menu because we know what we wanted to eat here. All individual ala carte orders were served with corns, potatoes and fried mini mantao (buns).

500 gm of King Prawns with Salted Egg Yolk Sauce at MYR 59+ (10% service charge = MYR 64.90 nett). I only ate 1 prawn because I was busy eating the crab so I could not comment much on the taste of the prawns. The salted egg yolk sauce is quite light because I am used to strong salted egg yolk taste.

300 gm of Hamaguri Clams and 300 gm of Blue Mussels with their medium spicy Signature Sauce (Cajun Spice, Garlic and Lemon) at MYR 59+ (MYR 64.90 nett). Only for clams and mussels lovers.

2 XXL crabs at MYR 135.30+ (MYR 148.85 nett) with medium spicy Jamba Jamba sauce (tomato based). I ate half a crab. It is  meaty and very fresh. The meat is very tender and succulent. I like this item the best.

We should have all gone for the bottled mineral water at MYR 2.80+ (MYR 3.10 nett) because the ribena soda at MYR 7.90+ (MYR 8.70 nett) was too little and a bit too sweet.

With the high food price, I think it will be another 3 years before I visit this eatery again although the food is tasty.

  1. Yes, I often find the drinks at such classier eateries way overpriced. Maybe that is to discourage people from just sitting there and drinking, not eating.
