No need to mind your Ps and Qs here as the
Crab Factory invites you to embrace the no-frills simplicity yet unrestrained robustness
of Creole and Cajun cooking where casual backyard seafood boils are the norm
rather than the exception.
While perusing the menu, nibble on
irresistible starters such as crispy House Fried Baby Squid (available in Garlic
or Cajun flavours, RM10.90) and Southern Chicken Wings (Garlic or Cajun).
Both are incredibly addictive thanks to their crunchy batter coating that's
either garlicky or zingy hot.
If you have kids in tow, the Pollock Fish
Fingers with Garlic Fries would be a surefire hit. Bite into the light
batter coating and be rewarded with sweet, flaky white fish that went like a
dream with the house made mayo dip.
The dining experience was unabashedly fun with
everyone throwing caution to the wind and getting their hands dirty in their concentrated
attempts to crack, pry open and extract the sweet, chunky morsels from shells
and carapaces.
According to Ooi, she sources and imports
the seafood for Crab Factory from different countries to ensure maximum
freshness. "Depending on your choice of seafood, the items are charged
according to prevailing market prices. These are listed on our menu boards for
easy reference."
Regardless of the seafood you choose, Ooi
recommends substantiating each order with some 'bag buddies' (RM4-RM7.90): chicken sausages, potatoes, corn
cob and button, king or enoki mushrooms.
Crab Factory is worth a visit for those who
wants a change from local seafood preparations.
