Restoran Mei Hiong, Kuantan

Just like anyone else (IT savviest) would, I googled to find out what is the best food in town. 


Kuantan is near the sea, hence it is famous for seafood, dried salted fish etc. Looking at what's interesting, 8TV has introduced in Ho Chak food programme about shark meat in Kuantan before! Having the hate of people gobbling down shark fins at wedding dinners (that explains why we choose not to serve shark fin soup in our wedding), it has a lot of guilt this time round to have shark's meat for lunch. Trying to justify and lessen my guilt, it is brutal to take the shark fins off the shark and throw them back to the sea, whereas, in this case, the shark is killed for its meat and is far off better than to let the shark die in a struggling way. Full of Sin still, I chose to experience shark meat for this ONE TIME!






Fried Shark Meat & skin with chillies
The texture of the meat taste like sting ray, the skin taste like the catfish's fat (omega 3). 








Fried slipper prawns with dry chillies and onions
The slipper prawns are fresh and springy in texture. The sauce coated on the prawns are sweet and spicy, just the way I like it.




Oyster Omelette
The omelette is over cooked, it was dry and the oysters has shrunk. Not recommended.






Bitter gourd Soup with fishball
The fishball is big and taste fresh, but i find the bitter gourd is too little.




Stir fried Potato Leafs







Ratings:

Ambience: 4/10 (Two shops, one shop is airconditioned)
Service: 6/10
Food: 7/10
Price: $
Non-halal
Verdict: Overall is good, shark meat alone is over rated  :)
