Ling Song Kee Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Perak

For dinner, I drove further into Pantai Remis town to try one of the restaurants which I wanted to try. But alas, it was not meant to be when it was closed - problem with restaurants in small towns is that they close without any notification. Google stated that they are opened but it was not - so I quickly drove to the second choice which was Ling Song Kee.

LSK is a brand name in Pantai Remis when it comes to seafood dining. Established as the place to eat for the last 15 to 20 years ago, today it has its very own plaza like building with hotel above.
