Restoran Kim's Seafood Palace, Port Dickson

Restoran Kim's Seafood Palace 大晶宫海鲜酒家

Coming from Sabah, where seafood is just so fresh, I can't help but to feel slightly skeptical when people tell me that there is good seafood elsewhere. However, since Seremban is just 35-40 minutes away from Port Dickson (using the Port Dickson toll = RM3.20) , my friends and I decided to treat Liz for a nice seafood dinner at Port Dickson for her birthday.

Located just along the coasts of Port Dickson and next to McDonald's, Kim's Seafood Palace looks quite decent and rather posh from the outside.

We went there on a Friday night, and surprisingly the place was not packed. Few tables were occupied and our presence immediately changed the quiet atmosphere.

Like all seafood restaurants, we ordered Crabs, Lala (Clam) soup, Fried Squid with Chilli and Salt and a Fried Kangkong with Belacan. (A Malaysian local delicacy)

Their signature dish "Salted Egg Yolk Crab" 

"Kam Heong" Crab 

"Superior Lala (Clam) Soup" 

"Fried Squid with Chilli and Salt" 

(Would love to try this in Salted Egg Yolk style next time)

Tonight, Liz is a happy girl!

We also ordered their "Homemade Tofu" which was quite delicious as well.

The total bill was about RM 150++ for 2 x 0.5kg Flower crab, Small plate of squid, Tofu, Vegetable and Soup. Approx RM30 per pax.

Price: 4/5 (Slightly pricey over the weekends or during peak season for the crabs. RM88/kg or RM98/kg;on Non-peak season: RM68/kg *Subject to change)

Taste : 3-3.5/5  (We loved the Salted Egg Yolk Crab and it was really good, however the quality fluctuates depending on the crowd; I went there on a separate occasion when it was packed .It was quite a disappointment but it was still ok.)

Ambiance : 3/5 (Near to the beach; can take a stroll after dinner. :))

Highly recommended: Salted Egg Yolk stir fried Bitter Gourd

I have also tried their steamed Tilapia fish on another occasion. It was really good and fresh. Would love to try their meat dishes next time. 

Overall, this is a really good seafood place, a good "getaway" if you would like to experience something different. It's located next to McDonald's so once you reach Port Dickson, try locating McDonald's and it will lead you there.

This place is also Pork-free though I am not sure whether it is halal certified or not.
