Unique Seafood

Review: Hotel Renaissance
Friendly staff abound this hotel - each staff wears a smile readily it makes you feel very welcome. The hotel has a East Wing (formerly the New World Hotel) and West Wing. The hotel is also located a 5 minutes walk to the "Bukit Nanas" monorail - which is just across the road. You need to be extra careful crossing the road because the pedestrian lights does not turn green and you do not know when is the time to cross or not. So, I had to time the red light and green light to make my way across the road but had a little help from a taxi driver when crossing the road - he was waving me to cross. Also about 15-20 minutes walk to KLCC - taxi about RM$4-$10 depends on the type of taxi.


Restaurant:
Eden Village @ Chulan Square - $$$$ - a western seafood and steak restaurant. Just not my type of seafood restaurant. This restaurant serves prawns, lobsters but not my favourite, crabs. Maybe too messy for a western diner? but one consolation is that I like their wild mushroom soup. At their entrance displayed frozen fishes, prawns and lobster but none of the live seafood as a typical seafood restaurant.

Unique Seafood @ Lot 9B, Jln Kemajuan, Sec 13, PJ - $$$ - upon entering you are met with the most awesome display of live seafood of different types of crabs, geoduck, abalone, prawns and fishes. For each variety you can choose the style of cooking - for crabs I chose for it to be cooked "Salted egg" style - it was my first time trying such a dish. It was deliciously cooked - KL is very innovative in their cooking unlike in Singapore, we only have steam, chilli or pepper crab. KL has steam, butter, sweet and sour, cheese (not tried yet) and now salted egg crab style. Geoduck was served sashimi style and also for those unadventurous they provide provide steamboat style. I recommend this restaurant for the ambience and good food but you need a KL friend to bring you there as the location can be very confusing - even for a taxi driver.
