First time trying Pondok Ketam. Quite a good review with lots of promotion.
Finally, we are here to give a try. The environment are quite welcoming and clean. Good job team!!!
We want to try their promo 3x crab at RM50.50 (Size Small). However, their small size crab is out of stock. Hence, we upgrade to RM98.00 (3x crab medium size).
Chili Crab – the crab is fresh and meaty. It would be good to be slightly spicier. Later only we know that we can request for extra spiciness.
Portuguese Tiger Prawn – interesting flavor and fresh prawn. Nice presentation but we expect to be in aluminum foil (refer to picture in the menu).
Sweet Sour Fish Fillet – crispy fish fillet with thick sweet sour sauce. Credit to the sauce that beyond the norm.
Kangkung Bawah Puteh – ordinary and portion can be more for the pricing.
Overall, good dining experience and food..
People say if you don’t know, you don’t love it. That’s the right expression for anyone who wants something different to taste various crab dishes. In addition, there are also other menus provided. Everything is delicious. The location is far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Visit if you want to know what it tastes like.
Good service. Decent food.
Food is not overcooked.
Kam heong crab is not the same as Chinese style – slightly modified.
Would be perfect to use a fresher seafood than frozen. The fish and, especially the crab, the flesh are mushy… very mushy…
Salted egg bitter gourd and sotong are favourites.
We arrived at the place at around 5.30pm, having booked a table for 5 adults and 1 kid. The decor feels rugged yet homely and stylish, very classy and is to my liking. The premise is also scented with a lemon grass, minty air freshener, which makes it feel very light and fresh.
We inquired as to whether they have the Gedabak and or Gergasi sizes of crab available, alas they informed that there was unfortunately no stock from the supplier on the day of our visit.
We then decided to order the Besar (Medium) sized crabs which are approximately 500g each. We had 2 pcs of Besar crab cooked Kam Heong style and 2 pcs of Besar crab cooked with Buttermilk. The Kam Heong crab was really savoury and delicious, crab is big enough to our preference and was really enjoyable to chow down. The spiciness is just right for our level of tolerance and we kept on going back for more of the sauce (Their Kam Heong style is the wetter version) The buttermilk crab was also delicious to have, although my dad did mention that it was a tad too sweet for his tastebuds, regardless, it was still enjoyable overall.
We also ordered the Sotong Rapuh (crispy fried calamari) and Ikan Siakap Bakar Sambal (Grilled fish with sambal). The sotong was great, crispy and not overcooked. The Ikan bakar was alright as well. The notable thing from the Ikan Bakar dish was the spicy kicap manis (spicy sweetened dark thick soy sauce) and it pairs really well with the sambal and the fish.
We paired of all the dishes above with white rice as well as 2 sets of Fried Mantou (Fried Golden Buns), it was really perfect to pair the mantou together with the sauces from the crab dishes.
All in all, it was a really enjoyable experience, will definitely visit once more.
Price a bit high but taste soooo good! Ordered the butter milk RM99 for 3 crabs. The sauce seriously finger licking good. Other dishes like the sotong and kang kong were also very much to our liking.
