Parit 9 Seafood

What do you think when you hear the word seafood? Personally, I will start thinking about sea, summer, coconut, and of course the seafood itself! Seafood has always been a good idea, isn't it?

Last Sunday, I visited a seafood restaurant near Riau named Parit Seafood. This resto is well-known with its crab, especially "Kepiting Termos". It is crabs packed in a thermos bottle to keep them warm. People usually send them as Christmas gift. Interested? Just try, you won't be disappointed :)

In Parit Seafood, we choose the fish, shrimps, and crab by ourself. They are fresh ingredient from the sea. We also choose the way they cook the seafood. There are a lot of varieties, such as grilled with soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, oyster sauce, etc. For the squid we can ask them to make it crunchy or just cook it with margarine (I mean, goreng mentega). 

So here are what we ordered :

Kepiting Saos Singapore

IDR 17.500 / ons

It is like chili crab made in Bandung and this is Parit's signature dish. I really love this dish, the flesh of the crabs were fresh, soft, and cooked perfectly. The sauce were really tasty and spicy but it could increase you appetite. If you like the crabs's eggs, you also can have it here. Btw, they provided you the tweezer so you can crack the crabs easily.

Kuwe Bakar Kecap

IDR 7.500 / ons

My mom chose kuwe because it has a lot of flesh and it doesn't have too many bones. The kuwe was grilled with sweet soy sauce and it has already split into two to make it easier to eat. The flesh was nice, thick, and soft but still chewy. Nice choice, mom.

Cumi goreng tepung

IDR 35.000 / portion

The squid was really crunchy, as for me it was kerupuk and not squid. The last time I went here I had fried squid with margarine and it taste a lot better than this.

Kangkung Cah Polos

IDR 15.000

In English, we call kangkung as water spinach. A lot of people like kangkung because it is affordable and easy to cook. Kangkung is my sister's favorite vegetable so we decided to eat this. The kangkung has a strong aroma of ginger but the taste was good. I wish they cut it shorter so it won't stuck within my throat :(

Oseng Genjer

IDR 15.000

 Anybody knows what's genjer in English? Please let me know. The genjer was cooked nicely, taste good and still crunchy as I expected.

Note : I didn't order any drink because they give free hot tea and reffilable as much as you want.

Overall, I really like this seafood restaurant. It has a nice place, nice service, and tasty food with affordable price. I am looking forward to coming back here and try another dishes. When you are craving for seafood, this could be the one.
