Soon Lai Seafood

If you are staying around Green Lane, Jelutong and Perak Road areas, then you probably are familiar with Soon Lai Seafood. Fronting an open space with playground (I used to play there when I was a kid), this joint is popular with the people staying around this densely populated residential area.

This place only open for dinner and the crowd usually spill out to the outdoor eating area as the indoor air-conditioned seating will be full fairly quickly. You can booked your seat prior to going there as it can get quite crowded if you go there too late. The good thing about having a playground right in front of it means that you can bring your kids there to have some quality time together while waiting for your food to be ready. 

People usually come here for its crab. You can order stir fried crab with spicy chilli gravy, black pepper crab, steamed crab and so on. However, my favourite has to be stir fried crab with salted egg, nothing can beat that! Some people will go for prawn mantis instead due to less costly but I am never a fan of that creepy little creature.

I must have soup whenever I eat rice as without it is simply too dry. If you also have the same preference, then go ahead and order the spinach soup with century egg and shrimps.

The good things about this restaurant are that the food is delicious, staff service is quick and everything comes at a very affordable price.
