10 restaurants for fun seafood medleys in KL and Selangor

From under the sea, onto the plate.

1. Eat Drink Thai at Kota Damansara

Eat Drink Thai’s signature attraction is its steaming seafood pot – a whole barramundi, plus a substantial serving of tiger prawns, squid and mussels, bathed in the patron’s pick of Thai-inspired broth (red tom yum, clear tom yum, the spicier tom sapp, tom kha, sourish kaeng som curry, or ma nao with chilli, garlic and lime). The largesse of the ocean tastes fresh, with the sizable fish and fleshy crustaceans ranking as the stars, complemented by our choice of the tom kha coconut milk soup, a light, mild and clean-tasting base, complemented by corn and tomatoes.

Address: 9 Jalan PJU 5/9, Kota Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
