Grandpa's birthday dinner at Cia Xiang Seafood 佳鄉海鮮蟹皇飯 @ Bukit Tambun

My beloved Ah Kong
Every year we celebrate grandpa's birthday at Chinese restaurants that we have never tried before. This year was no different. We went to a seafood restaurant in Bukit Tambun that is supposedly famous for their crab rice. It is very easy to find this restaurant. Upon exiting the Bukit Tambun toll you will come to a small roundabout. Just take the 12 o'clock exit and you will see the restaurant immediately on your right.

Crab rice RM72 each
The crab claypot rice was fragrant and nice with fresh crab meat with dried shrimps. We ordered two big pots.

Chicken RM70
The chicken was rubbery and possibly overcooked. I only ate a small piece throughout the meal and everyone in my family felt the same way. We had to 'da pao' home and had a big shock when we saw the price for it. RM70 and it was not the least tasty! No wonder the waitress kept promoting this particular dish to us when taking our orders. Please do not order this dish.
Clams RM18 
Signature beancurd RM15
Signature beancurd- nothing in particular to shout about. Crispy and fried to perfection.

Vegetables - stir-fried fan shu ye RM12
Mantis prawn RM28
My favourite dish of the night would be butter mantis prawn. Fragrant, crispy and the prawns are not too small so as to be able to taste the flesh in every bite. 

Fried oyster with egg RM18
Fried oyster with egg- also not the best I have tasted and could have been better. We also ordered two pitchers of drinks at Rm18.80 each- lemon juice and shan zha drink. They were quite delicious and good thirst-quenchers.
