Fatt Kee Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Borneo

⭐ 2/5

It was our first time visiting this place, and we brought along a friend who had just landed from Kuching. The boss was friendly — he even played with my baby, which we appreciated.

Unfortunately, the service really disappointed us.

When we were given the menu, no one explained how to go through it or recommended any popular dishes. We ordered: •    2 mixed tom yum soups (both supposed to be regular, but in the bill, we were charged for 1 regular and 1 with added fish) •    1 fish tomato soup •    3 plain rice •    1 fried rice with fish

The food that arrived was okay overall, but there were many issues. An extra dish (fucuk) came that we didn’t order — we had to return it. Only 2 plain rice were served instead of 3. The fried rice with fish didn’t come until much later, and one plain rice was still missing.

We had to call the staff multiple times, but they didn’t take us seriously — just joking around and not acting professionally. By the time the missing items finally arrived, we had almost finished eating. And even then, the fried rice that came was just plain — not the fish version we ordered.

We also ordered iced Chinese tea, but it still hadn’t arrived even after 15 minutes.

To make matters worse, they were serving food using a bowl that was already cracked — very unhygienic.

Food taste was okay, but the cleanliness was only 5/10. Prices were quite high, and with such poor service, it really wasn’t worth it. This will be our first and...

2nd time here. I was craving some tomyam noodle soup today. As you can see, I am a fan of fish/seafood tomyam variants. The serving was pretty big and there’s a wide variety of fish which include fish cakes, fish balls, etc.

It was creamy, not too spicy (I think kedai kopi Wan Wan’s pose a heavier broth and spicier) but I really like the variety of ingredients used. Most restaurants only served either steamed or fried fish (slices) mixed with prawns if there’s a fish mix option and that’s it.

Although this is a primarily seafood dish, there’s no prawns or squid. It’s just fish mixed with other processed fish.

Let’s talk about the cons. If they put sliced fish in instead of the boned one, I think it would be perfect. Now this is very subjective but I’m sure a lot of people would agree with me. I find it difficult and tedious to pick the fish meat out of the bones. I don’t want to use my fingers like a savage. We have table etiquette around here and we’re not cavemen.

Last time I was here I had a wonderful time eating the tomato soup based noodle (ham choi) it was 5/5. This time around, because of the inconvenience I couldn’t enjoy my dinner as I did last time.

Price wise; it’s expensive. Maybe it’s normal since this restaurant is really popular; but I assure you there’s more restaurants out there who serve the same quality without costing an...

A place to go if you crave for a comforting bowl of flavourful fish soup in the morning or rainy day.

Tried the tomato based soup mee hoon with giant grouper. The soup is light yet flavourful that is not overpowering the freshness of giant grouper which was nicely cooked. 1 of the better places that cooks giant grouper to perfection. The giant grouper soup mee hoon is not cheap (RM38), but they were really generous with the portion.

Tom Yam mee hoon with fried fish may not be the best compared to some of the really good Thai Restaurants, but the soup is rich that is a pretty good one still hitting the sour and spicy sweet spot.

My friend tried the “fish mix” noodles, which was pretty mediocre with just some of the processed fish meats, and minimal fish slices. Suggest to go with fresh fish instead.

The fried sides were also just normal, nothing much to shout about, but they were generous with...
