Lao Yu Jia Le (Zhuhai)

soon it was dinner time and we took a taxi down to Hai Xian Jie (seafood street). thanks to Joe who had watsapp me pictures of the namecards of these food places.

Seafood street, is a challenge. not for the faint hearted. you have been warned!

as our taxi drove into seafood street, we saw a whole stretch of different restaurants. outside each restaurant, there are servers stationed to pull customers into their respective restaurants. we decided to stick to the one that Joe recommended which is Lao Yu Jia Le...



as soon as we entered the restaurant, we were urged by the server who attended to us to choose our seafood.. they led us to the other door where its a stretch of market place like area where there are different different hawker like stalls selling seafood....

and this is where as u walk to browse, they will be aggressively calling out to u, making u buy from them. even if you are just browsing, they, including your server will be pressuring you to buy... all these were a bit too much to handle for kaizhi. haha...

they did however, seem to have very interesting spread of seafood though! if only they would let us browse n 'shop' in peace!

we also did face some difficulty though! we didnt change enough RMB. haha.. so in the end we used that as a very good excuse not to buy many things.

also, remember to BARGAIN, BARGAIN, BARGAIN!







After you choose the seafood you want, the server in charge will ask you how you want to cook the seafood you have bought. they will charge a nominal cooking fee.


little abalones..



salt and pepper cooked lobsters...



steamed fish...



clams...



lobster sashimi...



fried fish egg...



and super big oysters!! BBQ-ed!



the seafood was overall fresh and i'd say yes it was quite an experience. i would go back again and this time round i'd want to order different things. the taste wise i wont say its spectacular but it was overall ok.
