Mr Specky Restaurant, Kuantan

I was in Kuantan for the weekend again (24-26 October 2008)...yes, yes, again...I was here last week for an official visitation to the youth group, but this week, it's like a 'weekend get-away' for myself, as well as to spend some time with my family & friends here.

Since I came here for uni (year 2004), I've somewhat fell in love with Kuantan. Not just because it has a beautiful beach (I can't resist good beaches!), but I guess it's the warmth of the people here that made me feel SO at home... Every trip that I make to Kuantan, I'll always go back to the same house, which I call my 'Kuantan home' & have the same room & the same kinda warmth & hospitality that I had when I first came here. It's rather amazing, really. The family treats me as their own & I do feel as if they're my family as well! Call it foster family in simple terms :)

I'm very glad that I managed to spend time with all the people whom I wanted to spend time with, & though it was quite a rushed & tiring trip, I felt satisfied :) *yay* I didn't really go on some eating-spree though, but whatever food that I managed to eat, I enjoyed it with great delight, with the company of the lovely people whom I dearly cherish & love :) I really look forward to be back there again!

Date: 25 October 2008
Venue: Mr Specky Tomyam Seafood Restaurant, Kuantan
Occasion: Dinner with Kuantan family :)
Overall comment: This place is somehow famous for their crabs! My chi-chi (sister in Hokkien) will always head here for crabs at any time when she craves for it. The food here is good & I suppose it's value for money as well, else the family won't be coming back here each time when they crave for crabs & delicious food! The ambiance is like any Chinese restaurant, but it's quite clean, so no worries 'bout overall cleanliness :) My Specky offers a good variety of Chinese food, so you'll get yummy dishes, noodles, & rice of your choice ;)

Salt-Baked Crabs/"Yim Kuk Hai" in Cantonese

Claypot Creamy Buttered Crabs/"Nga Pou Lai Yao Hai"

Fried Black Pepper Udon
Yummy!! I'm a black pepper fan!

Claypot Loh Shu Fun
This dish is quite nice, though I was actually too tired to bother how great it tastes like d...it was around 10.45pm when we had all these food! *faints*
