Get bored with those seafood restaurant around Malaysia. Yea. You should try this Rasa Lain Seafood Restaurant. Rasa Lain actually means different taste in Malay. They deserved to have the name of "Different taste" because they really provide different and unique type of preparing the seafood. Malaysian get bored very fast in everything. So, the food premise should always create new style of food to attract more customer. Actually this reastaurant was not so famous when I first went there. But after a couple of months, Ah Xian had went there for an interview with the owner of the restaurant and help him to promote his special and best seafood to the Malaysia people.
This is the reason why there were so famous now :
The impact of Ah Xian was so big to those who always craving for food in Malaysia. Once Ah xian visited your restaurant, you will be famous all the time. Of course I am the one who always love to watch his programme because I am a great food lover.
Last time the medium sized restaurant able to stuff all their customer in. But now a lot of the customers had to wait outside for their turn to be served. I think they need to bigger their restaurant in order to have more business with them.
Fishballs were the must order food. The fishball was bouncy enough and there weren't any fishy smell and taste. Even you don't like fish, I confirmed you will fall in love with this fishball. Normally if you ordered fishballs they will served befire the main course as an appetizer. But the price was a bit expensive for it. I not sure but I heard somebody said one fishball for rm1.20.
Highlight of the restaurant. Claypot crab rice. You can find all style of cooking the crab butter crab, sweet and sour crab, eggyolk fried crab, chilli crab but you definitely haven't try this claypot crab rice before. That's why the deserved the name "Rasa Lain". The rice was soft enough and it was not sticky. The crab used was fresh from the water. Mixed with some sauces ( I think their special recipe). Last time, you can order on the spot and then they will cooked for you. But now you must call and order with them before you reach the shop because everyone was coming for the crab rice. Many of them couldn't manage to get their first taste of the crab rice due to lacking of stock. Right thumb up.
Another trademark of the restaurant. Claypot vermicelli with fish head. Actually they famous in doing the claypot with crab but eating too much crabs weren't good for health so we chose to order fish head. The soup that they cooked was tasty until you will gulping bowl by bowl. I don't know how to describe the taste. You must try yourself only you will find out how ncie was the vermicelli react with fishhead and soup. Left thumb up.
Sotong cooked with chilli. Just like normal restaurant one. The sotong wasn't spicy enough. Even if you can't stand with those super spicy food, you can have it with your rice.
Pork intestine cooked with garlice, spring onion and chilli padis. They intestine was very clean until you won't find any weird smell. Ginger was used to prevent those weird smell.
Another highlight again. Claypot cheese prawn. Cheese was from the western style while the claypot was from the oriental style. So here we had fusion claypot chessy prawn. They used a lot of cheese to cook this prawn. Oriental mixing with those western style always provide the best things. If you are a cheese lover, you can't miss this really.
