Hing Ket Grill House

Way overdue post coming up..

Came across this place from visiting KY Speaks on my search for really good seafood in and around K.L. and now its one of my favourite places to go when i want sweet fresh seafood..

Located at Kampung Jawa, Klang, its not exactly close to home but a short 30min drive from Kepong will end you here..

IMG_0049 The place is really crowded especially on weekends so its highly recommended to call and make a reservation in advance.. and parking there is extremely limited so make sure you arrive early..IMG_0050             Grill where all the ‘magic’ happens

As you enter the restaurant you’ll notice their grill section located out front.. quite cool as you can see them grilling lots of fresh crabs and juicy lamb chops out in the open.. the smell is fantastic..

Problem with this post is that once the first few dishes arrived, it was whalloped before i could even whip out my camera to take pics of it..zzZ.. everyone was super hungry as you can see by the picture above(it was taken 3mins after food landed).. food here took quite a while to arrive, the first few dishes we ordered were Lala Mee-Hoon, Stir Fried Glass Noodles and Stir Fried ‘Kai Lan’.. after that, we had to wait about 15-20mins between each dish arriving at our table.. so we only were done eating after about 2 hours..

IMG_0051 my own plate, clockwise from top: ‘kai lan’, lala mee-hoon, glass noodles..

Fortunately the food here is worth the wait.. for me the glass noodles are an absolute must order.. it was perfect, not soggy(as it may look) but just nice and springy.. the lala mee-hoon was alright i guess.. they use the mini-lalas to cook it and they are not stingy with it.. after noodles were finished a whole load of lalas were still at the bottom of the plate.. the vege, well, was vege.. to give us a false impression of being healthy..:)

Next dish to arrive was the grilled sotong, i skipped this dish the 2nd time i visited here.. it was a little over-grilled.. flavour wise was not too bad and the chilli it came with was not too bad la..

Haha, our next dish was this fried sotong, we ordered cause the table beside ordered a huge mountain of it and it looked so nice.. it was well fried with the batter quite peppery which is the way i like it..

I was recommended by other bloggers to order the grilled fish here.. i have to say it was nice.. i think they use some curry powder and grill it which gives it a nice smoky flavour while the meat was nice and firm.. not overcooked and dry which is how many places seem to do it..

IMG_0058                              Grilled Lamb Cutlets

You CANNOT come here and NOT order this dish.. the grilled lamb cutlets were absolutely super duper delicious.. i’ve paid a lot of money at expensive restaurants which dont hold a candle to the way this place prepares these lamb cutlets.. super flavourful, juicy and most importantly, juicy.. words cannot describe how good they are.. imagine my mother who hates, i mean HATES the smell and taste of lamb, liked this.. i wont say she loved it but for someone who isnt fond of lamb, liking this version is something major.. the mint sauce accompanying the dish isnt too bad either..

IMG_0065                                       Grilled CrabsIMG_0062 

I dont know where to start about these crabs.. they serve the crab to you whole here.. with all its innards, roe and whatever stuff you find inside crabs.. its not marinated or cooked in special sauces which mask the taste of it.. here, its just grilled with some salt and sent to your table.. this is my new favourite way to enjoy crabs.. grilled in its own natural juices.. its a real pain in the a$$ to eat them but for me, half the joy is in the opening of the shell and digging out the meat with your fingernails.. the first time i came, i ordered the medium crabs.. the 2nd time i ordered the large crabs.. note to self, dont order the large crabs.. they’re huge.. 1 is too much for each person.. medium is fine..

So my overall verdict of this place is a 9/10.. very fresh seafood and cooked using the best methods.. my mother and sister loved the food as well when i brought them here for dinner as well..
