| <b>Top</b> Spot <b>Seafood</b> Food Court @ <b>Kuching</b> | Malaysia Food, Travel <b>...</b> Posted: 09 Nov 2013 09:57 AM PST Rooftop dining is not uncommon for fine dining restaurants and bars. But what about seafood in a hawker setting? Well, in Kuching there's this place called Top Spot Food Court where half a dozen of restaurants – mostly serving seafood (halal options available) operate on the roof of a 6 storey car park.
The environment is dim but airy and always buzzing with activity. If you are staying in the hotels along the Kuching Waterfront, Top Spot is reachable on foot within minutes.
Although you could sit down and order the dishes off the menu, it is more recommended that you browse and pick the seafood yourself – provided if you know how to judge a fresh fish. But from what we saw, the seafood variety here is good and more importantly fresh. So the tastiness pretty much depends on the chef's skills. Anyway, we chose Ling Loong Seafood among the available options simply because the name sounded nice.
The star dish of the night has to be the Grilled Spiny Lobsters, which were wrongfully listed as prawns in the menu. So you could imagine our surprise when these meaty lobsters arrived on our table. They were cooked perfectly, as the chunky sized lobster flesh was sweet, juicy and succulent.
2nd best goes to the Fried Bamboo Clams in Curry Powder, a delicacy that has a special place in the heart of Kuchingians. Compared to a few other renditions I've had, Ling Loong's could be considered one of the best because the clams were very fresh and did not have any weird taste. And freshness is the main thing to look for in clams, because biting into a watery and foul tasting one is the last thing you want to do. I have experienced that before first-hand and I can tell you, it's really nasty.
Midin is a must try in Sarawak. These wriggly yet crunchy jungle ferns are versatile enough to be enjoyed in many ways but sambal belacan style is our personal favorite.
Steamed Sea Bass – we could not find any fault in this common dish.
Unfortunately it was all downhill from here, as both the oyster pancake (more like a oyster cracker) and ikan bakar were quite terrible. You could take my word for it and skip these two. The oysters were overly deep fried which led to a dry and rubbery taste.
Overall it was still a pleasant meal and I only got myself to blame for the oyster pancake because I knew they were not going to taste fantastic just by the looks of it. The food's still good for most of the standard items like grilled lobster, steamed fish, curry bambooo clams and sambal belacan midin.

| <b>Top seafood restaurants in kuching</b> - Come Sarawak - Come Sarawak Posted: 20 Feb 2014 09:41 AM PST In Kuching we are still fortunate to be able to enjoy very good seafood at relatively reasonable prices. Though the variety can't compare to Kota Kinabalu, the quality and freshness of what we do get is usually pretty peachy. You can find seafood restaurants almost anywhere in Kuching, but if you are looking for Halal outlets then there are really only 2 options - Top Spot Food Court right in town centre - or Rock Road Seafood. Rock Road Seafood has been around for a very long time, and they haven't changed much except the decor has been incrementally upgraded over the years. This is one of the most popular restaurants with our local political class, especially during the State Legislative Assembly Seatings.   The ground floor of the restaurant is like a mini wet market. Here you can select the seafood and other items that you want, and let them know how you want the items to be cooked. You can also get them to weigh the items so you know exactly how much you will be paying - instead of getting a sticker shock later.    We ordered the usual - starting with stir-fried midin with garlic. It was very good.  The Sweet Corn Soup was one of the best we've had - very tasty and with chunks of fresh crab meat.  The Oyster Omelette was pretty standard - and with lots of oysters.  Buttered Prawns with Egg Floss - nicely done, with the prawns still tender and sweet.  The main reason we went there - Crabs in "Satay Sauce". This is one of their signature dishes, and it never disappoints. I don't know why the sauce is called "Satay Sauce" because it doesn't taste anything like its namesake, but is sure is tasty. We picked two of the largest crabs they had - and they were both excellent - with lots of fresh, sweet meat inside the gigantic claws.    The food at Rock Road Seafood has steadily improved over the years. Today I would say they are one of the best seafood places in town, but you will be paying a bit more then most other establishments. However since you get to actually pick the seafood yourself, you are getting what you pay for. |
| Easy Food Hacks: On the hunt for <b>seafood</b> in <b>Kuching</b> Posted: 19 Jul 2013 10:12 AM PDT Dinners out with family and friends in Kuching typically revolve around seafood. Kuching is famous for its seafood restaurants where fish, crustaceans and molluscs are displayed for your selection. On this trip, I was taken to two of the excellent but less well-known locations. I was surprised when CH, her sister Monica and friend Jenny took me to a mall. Seafood restaurants in Kuching are typically open air or at least self-contained. But there is a seafood restaurant on the top floor of One Jaya Mall, this is a sister branch of a seafood restaurant at Top Spot, Jalan Bukit Mata.  We started with an order of hotplate tofu and sambal midin (Sarawak fern shoots). It's getting very difficult to source midin for the home kitchen now as supply is prioritised to the restaurant trade. The midin was cooked with sambal, and is as delicious as I remembered. We also had a seafood tom yum soup.  The salt and pepper prawns were somewhat bland. The star of the meal was the deep-fried soft-shell crabs in salted egg yolk. This was crispy, creamy, sweet, salty and buttery all at the same time. I could feel my arteries clog up, but I didn't care.   Cousin KH and her husband took the extended family to Padungan Bay Seafood. KH stumbled across this eatery during a client visit, and had gotten to know the owners well; we knew we were in for a treat. The meal began with bittergourd omelette (so tasty) and midin cooked in Foochow red wine (u'ng ziu).  Then the seafood courses started. Some of the meatiest local crabs I'd seen, sautéed with egg. The crabmeat was sweet and succulent, and enhanced by the simple sauté.  Then they brought out some truly gigantic river prawns cooked with butter.  The steamed grouper was tender and sweet. Followed by deep-fried oysters served with a pepper dipping sauce, and some deep-fried squid.   We barely had space for the braised egg tofu, and only just made it out of our seats that evening. What a glorious way to end the makan (eating) session in Kuching.  I miss my relatives, friends and the beautiful, sweet crabs.  Bukit Mata Seafood Restaurant Padungan Bay Seafood Restaurant |
