Muhibbah Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Pahang

All about Pahang - Kuantan

It's a twist of fate that I came to Muhibbah Seafood - I was supposed to go to Hwa Ang but fate had it that they were closed on that fateful day. Frantically looking for other options, the missus informed me about this restaurant that was recommended by her Kuantan associates.

Located right next to the Kuantan River and very near to Kuantan Marine Police Base, it turned out to be quite popular with the locals. It's air-conditioned inside the no-frill, basic restaurant

◾fried keropok - packs were seen hanging there to take and I just had to take one to munch. ◾stir fried fish with taucu sauce - the original version was supposed to be spicy but she wanted the kids to eat together so she opted to omit the spiciness.

Oh yes, service was a bit slow as they cooked by tables in order from the earliest to the latest.

Note: You can also buy fresh seafood from Crab King seafood supplier opposite and have them cooked...

When I went to counter and paid the bill, I informed them there was only 1 slice of fish, then the kitchen worker came arguing that there were 2 slices, and lady boss saw this and just kept quiet. Fine !! I would pay for that, but that would be my last...

Outdoor seating available in their porch. Tried a few recommendation of theirs - steamed shark meat with ginger, stir fried sweet potato leaves, marmite chicken and salted egg squid rings. All good.
