Pak Su Seafood Restaurant Kuantan

During our April 2013 trip to Kuantan, we were recommended to this very popular restaurant and the various reviews on the internet confirms this as well. So, I was quite looking forward to eat there. We arrived on week day for lunch and found the place deserted which was rather disturbing. I thought to myself that their clientele is probably the weekend and night crowds.

Although the place empty when we arrived, the lunch crowds started to arrive later including some tour groups. The restaurants had live seafood tanks and although they were not as extensive like some of the restaurants in KL, it was not bad with quite a good variety. It is not common to have such a variety here in this area and based on the internet reviews, they have quite a good Singaporean following.

While choosing our dishes, 2 guys came in with a live shark that was just caught. They were trying to sell it to the restaurant. However, the restaurant was not interested in this. I was not sure what specie it was.

We did want to eat what was common in this part restaurant and so ordered a few dishes that we felt like eating.

Steamed kampong chicken

Deep fried squids

Fried kangkong

Curry fish head

Another fried vegetable

 

Steamed French crab

 

 

We saw that they sold crabs from France and wanted to try it. So, we asked them their recommendation and they said, steamed. However, it was a disappointment. They did not have to skill to do it well and it was a waste for such a nice crab.

Overall the other food was also not great. The fish head curry was a big disappointment. We should have stucked with their normal dishes.

Anyhow, I suppose if we were around here again, I will visit them again and hopefully, the next experience will be much better.
