| Top shellfish...Abalone is it! |
Live fish, prawns, clams, crabs, lobsters,
oysters, abalones and other exotic ocean denizens in tiers of glass display
tanks are the main lure the minute you step into Unique Seafood restaurant.
Akin to a bustling seafood market, your preferred catch of the day is swiftly
weighed and cooked to order once selected.

| Live seafood from around the world reel in foodies at Unique |
A testament to the success of self-made
entrepreneur Wong Keong Fook, the Unique group is Malaysia’s biggest seafood
importer and wholesaler today.
Unique group of restaurants' CEO Benson Koh says, "Malaysians are partial to crabs. That's why our Baked Big Meat Crabs
(imported from Indonesia) with Salted Egg Yolk (from RM88/kg) has always been a perennial
best-seller. Coming in a close second is Chilli Crab (from
RM88/kg) inspired by our neighbour down south."

| Salted egg yolk crusted crab...briny good! |
Personally I find the crusty coating of salted egg yolk the crabs' carapace difficult to sample unless one throws caution to the
wind, ditches one's polite table manners and starts licking and lapping up the briny bits
before devouring the sweet flesh. Being the real pro that I am, I simply couldn't bring myself to claw and gobble my way through on this occasion.
 |
| Saucy temptation that leaves you begging for more |
The Chilli Crab fared much better; its piquant,
unctuous garlicky-spicy-sweet sauce threaded with tender tendrils of beaten egg perfect for
dipping slices of deep-fried mantou buns into.
 |
| Cheesy ode to oysters |
A rich creamy topping of melted cheese
keeps the Cheese Baked Canadian Oysters (RM9/pc) amply covered. Twice the
size of ordinary oysters, these huge, succulent mollusks are impossible to
devour in a single mouthful but they tasted ever so sublime.
 |
| This fish is meaty fine |
What really stole the show on this visit
was the Baked Norwegian Tilapia (from RM48/kg) that left us reeling from its
inherently sweet, fine flesh. A simple black soya sauce spiked with chopped
chilli and shallots is served on the side should you want to lend extra punch
to the fish. Definitely worth returning for!
 |
| Green is in |
To balance the surfeit of seafood we had
earlier, the restaurant's evergreen favourite of Fried Kailan (Chinese kale) in
Two Styles (RM15-small, RM23-medium and RM30-large) is just what any
nutritionist would order. Finely shredded and deep-fried to crisp perfection,
the leafy shreds has a full-bodied enticing seaweed nuance to it. Speckled with a handful of fried silver fish, they provide
good textural contrast with the tender stir-fried kai lan stalks.
 |
| Fresh and sweet as summer's breeze |
Chilled Mango Sago (RM8/bowl), a refreshing
dessert of translucent sago pearls in mango puree and diced fresh mango brings the curtains down to
our extravagant seafood feast.
