Glorious seafood @ Damansara

Kuala Lumpur - Today I will be staying at Le Meridien KL Hotel located at Sentral. Just 28 minutes from KL International airport via the KLIA express. The rates of Le Meridien are RM570++ per night whilst at Hilton KL Hotel (next door) was RM$200 per night more. Well having stayed at both - the rooms at Hilton KL Hotel are much bigger and also their service is much better. Hilton KL Hotel has a concierge at the Sentral station that will help you with your baggage and checking in.

The last time I stayed at Le Meridien KL Hotel, there was a similiar concierge service but was told today by the front desk that they discontinue this service.

One of the reason I like about Sentral location, as the name implies - it's very central - all the trains run through this location - KLIA Express, Kotra, KL Express (formerly Putra) and LRT.

Dinner was at a remote location in Damansara @ a seafood restaurant called "Pantai Seafood Restaurant". The food is very fresh, very delicious and for 5 people it cost RM$380. The most expensive dish was the Mexican Geoduck prepared in Sashimi and cooked in soup costing RM$200 - not really worth that much though - maybe with the Mexican tag, the seafood restaurant can charge more. The most interesting dish was Marmite Crab. If my recollection is correct, Marmite is used as a spread on bread. I did asked many times, marmite? marmite crab? Ok, why not...let's try. It's not that bad actually but I still like other variants of crab dishes like salted egg crab, etc.
