Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant at Taman Megah

Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant at Taman Megah is one of our favourite Chinese restaurant in Petaling Jaya. It is named as Pangkor Village Seafood Restaurant because the owner’s hometown is in Pangkor. But, the seafood is not sourced from Pangkor. Some of them are from local suppliers and some are from Indonesia such as the fish heads and crabs.

We came here for dinner twice to celebrate Mother’s’ Day for my mother and my mother in law. So, the food photos in this blog post are from both of the dinners. What are the delicious dishes we ordered here? Reads on to find out more:

Steamed Pondan Crab from Pangkor Village Seafood, Taman Megah
Another specialty of Pangkor Village Seafood is this Steamed Pondan Crab. What an interesting name for this dish.
