Disappointing encounter at Atlantis

Tonight had dinner with our ex-neighbour, Aunt Tricia & her family at Atlantis Restaurant, Kota Damansara. The seafood which was acclaimed to be fresh from Sabah, was not really fresh & tht good.. The food sucks wei compared to Unique Seafood Restaurant. No pics were taken because it would be rude taking my cam out & taking pics of the food when everyone's busy digging in.. I would have taken pics if it was just dinner wth my family. Gotta pay respects to other ppl ya know.. ;p

Crabs were not nice, the salted egg crab didn't really taste like salted egg, it was like a fake imitation of it.. The "kam heong" style of crab I didn't even touch it seeing tht the crabs weren't very fresh.. & I was lazy to use my hands to dig in.. Not in the mood for crabs.. >.<> weird, lotus itself is bland already, the dish was just stir frying it in butter.. Duuhh, even I can cook tht dish.. ;p

See? The prawns at Unique Seafood were much much better, no additional sauce required..
Just by itself, it tasted superbly fresh & sweet!!!
No photos to compare but u get the idea..

The steamed big hard shelled clams were fresh, but I don't like to eat clams, or mussels plain just like tht without sauce.... It'll be too "fishy" taste for me. So I only ate few pieces of it.. The only dish I ate most was the butter prawns.. The prawns were nothing compared to those I ate at Unique Seafood but the butter & egg crisps tht u know comes along wth it was the only thing tht made the prawn nice kay.. Well, our first time at the restaurant since Uncle Edward & Aunt Tricia were treating us dinner.. But for our family, it'll be a BIG no-no to come back for a second time.. I definitely don't agree with some of the reviews I saw online tht this restaurant is "great", it's not as good as I'd expected... :S



Overall, it's not the type of restaurant my family would come considering it's food quality & high price which we could have had better at other restaurants.. But since it was a gathering and catch up session wth one another, it's pretty good chatting up wth Mabel & James.. The next dinner gathering would most prolly be on my dad, few months later.. ^_^ Definitely would go to a better place..



P.S. Woke up almost 10 by my "dream" in which was really weird, it was like a movie scene wth me & my family in it plus some intense car speeding moments...tht's all I rmb.. hahah, a sign of too much stressed from asgmts/reports already!! Also, I did not go to Monash Street Carnival.. >.< style="font-style: italic;">jessica
