Feeling crabby?
Crabby
informal. grouchy; ill natured; irritable; peevish. (source: Dictionary.com)
Oh wait, I thought feeling crabby means one has a craving for crabs. Me and my poor English! PAISEH!
So anyway having not eaten crabs for a long time, I decided to hop over to the (famous) Fatty Crab at Taman Megah. Yes, the one and only Fatty Crab at Taman Megah, although they do have other branches at Pandan Indah and The Mines.
Upon stepping into the restaurant (which is a corner lot, so it's pretty well-ventilated), you'll notice the pretty sparse menu. Unlike other seafood restaurants which offer various other dishes using pork, chicken, etc. Fatty Crab basically just has crabs, prawns and fish as it's main dishes. To fill you up in case the seafood doesn't cut it, they also serve fried rice, chicken wings (fried not grilled) and satay (chicken and beef). Pretty basic eh?
Less variety is not always a drawback though. On with the food pictures!
All in all, I would award a rating of 8/10. The crabs that we had were fresh and juicy, no complaints there. The score would have been higher if they had provided more variety in cooking styles, but then again there are other places around the Klang Valley that provide those.
How do you get here? Easy. If you are heading towards 1-Utama from Sunway/Subang via the LDP, just head straight on until you come to the Taman Megah traffic light junction (this is just a bit further down from the bus stop opposite the Kelana Jaya LRT station). Turn left at the traffic light, keep to your right immediately and turn at the first right turn. Head straight down all the way and you'll spot Fatty Crab on your right.
Tip: Come early on weekends as the restaurant fills up real fast. They open at 5.30 p.m. and by 6.30 you probably have to stare at the people feasting while waiting for a table to be vacated.

After a long battle...
Mithril hammer of crab armour bashing +5!
Mithril hammer of crab armour bashing +5!Price wise, crabs go for RM26 per kati (which is around 600 g) with a minimum order of 900 g. That totals up to about RM39 per 900g, which is close to the average price around Klang Valley. As for the cooking styles, here's where their limited menu shows. They only serve either sweet and sour crab or steamed crab. No salted egg yoke crab, cream cheese crab or BBQ crab here, unlike those restaurants in Kepong or Aman Suria.
Chicken wings go for RM1.90 per piece, satay costs RM0.60 per stick while the fried rice goes from RM5. All the items in their menu are their specialities so you can't go wrong with any of them. On a sidenote, don't expect their satay to come in Hj. Samuri sizes. Although they do cost more per stick, you get the average size served anywhere else. But their (chicken) satay doesn't have a layer of fat in between the meat, which could be a plus (or minus) depending on the person.
