Opposite 1Borneo in a development called Alamesra, lies Seremban Seafood Restaurant which is fast gaining a good reputation.

Of seafood restaurants KK and Sabah has no shortage and although many have a wide selection, some are known for a specific little ocean treasure.

Such is Seremban Seafood Restaurant in the complex opposite 1Borneo, that it is fast gaining a reputation for it’s crabs. And even though it’s a good 20 minutes outside Kota Kinabalu, those who drive there do so willingly.

Seremban Seafood Restaurant has, as expected, a menu full of delicacies from the sea, but it’s the mud crabs that has everybody talking.

Could it be the tasty basting sauce, which people literally lick off their fingers, or is it perhaps the fact these crabs are some of the bigger ones you can find in KK? Whatever it is, the relatively small restaurant seems to be doing brisk business in it’s surrounding which are still eerily unoccupied as the complex is new.

Once 1Borneo completes later in the year and more tenants flock to this cluster of shop lots, queue are anticipated. So if you crave a good crab, a visit to Seremban Seafood Restaurant now might give you the opportunity to say ‘I ate there long before they were famous’ later on.

Of course, driving out all that way you can’t stick to the crab only, even if it is some of KK’s best crab. Luckily the rest of the menu is pretty mouth-watering as well.

Other seafood sampled included the prawns, which a rich buttery sauce, which will have the prawns melt in your mouth. Then there’s the Shop Speciality bean curd; beans, scallops and veggie surrounding an odd-looking, but flavoursome bean curd soaked in a sweet-and-tangy sauce. A variety of veggie balances the ample seafood menu.

Prices are reasonable, if a little on the steep side for the drinks. Soft drinks are RM4 each and fruit juices RM5. As per the included pictures, the crab is RM58.30, the prawn RM30, the veggies RM18 and the Shop Speciality Tofu was RM12, which is not bad for a seafood dinner in KK.

If you’re in the area, feel like exploring or just got to have some tasty crabs, then you’re well recommended to visit Alamesra for a sitting at Seremban Seafood Restaurant.
