My friend from church, Wai Cheng first told me about this place as the best for seafood. I googled it and found out it was located quite far away in Sungai Besi area. I actually consider Sg Besi quite far from me so initially I let go of the idea till today that I began to think, ah well, it does not hurt giving it a try. After all, I have run out of places that I have not been in PJ near my housing area. So I tried searching what is famous in this place and found out that they are famous for Mi
Waze brought me there in 14 minutes from my house and boy was I delighted.
Mum's first impression when she saw the signboard was that it was the same name like her sister. When we arrived, we were surprised at the beautiful landscape inside the big airy kopitiam even though there was no a/c. There was a big rock with a big waterfall. There are about 4-5 huts where there is 1 table under each hut which makes it like a private room in the open. Naturally, we took 1 hut for our dinner.
I realized whatever the bloggers say about the crab in Siu Siu is absolutely true. The crabs are really to die for. They are very fresh and the flesh is very hard and non-breakable type. The old uncle waiter recommended 1 steamed and 1 cooked crab but I opted both to be cooked in different fry styles. The crabs here are humongous so don't be deceived when you order 1 crab because it can be cut into many small pieces that can feed at least 3 pax!
I ordered the Salted Egg Crab (RM 72) which this place is well known for. It really has the salted egg just nice on top of the crab without dropping off. If you are a fan of salted egg, you would totally love this one as the saltiness totally permeates the entire crab. If we eat this with porridge, it would have been better since it is salty.
The other huge crab was cooked with chilli and sweet sauce (RM 66) which tasted different from the conventional ones. The sauce is good to eat together with 3 fried mantou (RM 3) which is fried till the edges are a little crispy. I personally prefer this than the salted egg crab as I do not like salted egg and merely ordered that because it is famous.
I also ordered Green Dragon Vegetables (RM 15-small plate). I love the freshness of this vege. The way the chef cooked still retains the freshness of the vegetables.
Of course, even though dad said this might invite high cholesterol into his body, I bowed down to the temptation to order the Claypot Curry Prawn (RM 52) which is Siu Siu's signature dish. It came together with glass noodles inside. Ours had 3 big prawns which were so succulent and juicy and you can still see the prawn eggs intact. The curry is a tad oily as one can see a layer of oil surrounding it. But at least it is great pairing with white rice.
The total bill came up to RM 215 before GST. GST was RM 12.90 so the final price was RM 227.90. I guess it is ok for a once-in-a-lifetime experience but then we cannot afford to eat at such high price for only 3 pax so often unless I come with 10 pax in future? Hahahaha
