Restoran New Otard • 海鲜饭店 — Restaurant in Subang Jaya

went for dinner and ordered a few items off the menu;

1. prawn fried rice;
2. claypot tofu; and
3. sweet and sour pork.

Prawn Fried Rice - RM16.00 for a plate of fried rice with 8 baby prawns and the rice wasn't properly fried with some white rice still present.

Claypot Tofu - RM20.00+ for a very normal claypot tofu and perhaps is the most normal dishes of the night.

Sweet and Sour Pork - RM28.00 for a plate full of fat chucks and no meat but all deep fried with batter to cover that fact. This is borderline cheating.

They used to be OK before the MCO and the recent renovation in making the restaurant air-conditioned but after these 2 events, they seemed to resort to cheating customers by charging exorbitant prices and giving low quality food/ingredients.

Just to make a point, Moon Palace in PFCC also charges around RM28.00 for a plate of Sweet and Sour Pork and that is proper restaurant quality food.

This place now seems like it would only be good if you have no taste buds or you just need a place to drink alcohol and fatty food to keep you from getting drunk. Sad to see it has deteriorated to this state and hope they close down soon so that another honest eatery...

Had a delightful dinner at Restoran New Otard (non-halal), and it definitely delivered bold, satisfying Chinese-style flavors.

🌶️ Dry Chili Chicken – Stir-fried to perfection with crispy edges and just the right heat. The dried chilies and onions gave it a beautiful balance of spice and sweetness.

🐚 Lala Kam Heong – Fragrant, spicy, and rich. The clams were fresh and well-coated in a flavorful kam heong sauce that paired excellently with rice.

🐟 Sweet & Sour Fish – Crispy whole fish topped with a classic sweet and tangy sauce, garnished with pineapple and veggies. Great texture and flavor.

🥬 Kangkung Belacan – Fresh and vibrant. The belacan gave it a nice umami kick without overpowering the greens. A must-have veggie dish.

🦐 Prawn in Black Sauce – Juicy, perfectly cooked prawns drenched in a thick, slightly caramelized black soy sauce. Sweet, savory, and addictive—this was a table favorite.

🍽️ Generous portions, quick service, and rich wok hei in every bite. A satisfying place for a family-style meal that hits all the right notes.

Highly recommended for those who love bold, non-halal Chinese...

Used to stay around and patrons this restaurant. Today try them after some time. We ordered quite a few dish but some highlights are asam fish, fried squid, yam with pork, fried beansprout and hot plate tofu.

Adam fish are ok. Fish are fresh and size are ok. Good amount of side dish typical to asam cooking. Only comment is the sauce are a bit underseason.

Yam and pork are good. Very standard taste but potion are bit small for 10 people. Fried beansprout are ok but good things is huge serving.

Fried squid are nice. Well crisp batter on the outside and squid are cooked nicely and not rubbery.

Hot plate tofu are ok but feel a bit under season again.

Overall the food somehow lack a bit seasoning. Is not that bad for us sometimes to eat something not too savoury. They are famous for their crab which we didn’t order this time. Perhaps if you are around and wanted to try this restaurant you can order it....
