Shell Out

I have never heard about this place before until I stumbled onto it one Sunday evening. We were at that time on our way to Photo Crafts "The Cafe" which is located in the same block as Shell Out. 

 

The doodles on the glass windows and the photos caught our attention first. 

Then THIS -->  '2 crabs for RM36.00 only' <-- signboard made us stop at our tracks. 

While browsing through the menu outside, we were warmly greeted by the friendly boss. We decided to give it a try in the end.  

 

While waiting for our food, we were given paint markers to occupy ourselves.

We were allowed to doodle on the table.

 

On the wall.

 

On the lamps.

And on the windows.

No cutlery is provided required in this shop. Well, nobody eats crabs with fork and knife anyways. No plates also, everything is eaten on the table covered by a large piece of wax paper. 

First time in my life, I tried the Fried Shishamo Fish. This fish is commonly seen on conveyor belts in Japanese restaurants, which I tend to ignore because it didn't look appetizing at all. 

But we ordered it and, squirt a bit of lime juice for added flavor, it turned out unexpectedly crunchy and tasty.

The (RM36.00) crabs with corn as sides. We KNOW they're fresh. The incredibly friendly boss helpfully showed us the live crabs just so that we can decide the amount to order. After that, we opted for the Shell Bang flavor (a mixture of Cajun Sensation, Lemon Pepper and Butter Garlic), mildly spicy as we do not want the spice to overpower the crabs' original taste

The verdict: finger licking good, and the best part is we left without burning a hole in our pockets. I'll definitely come back to try the other food on the menu. 

Now if you'd excuse me, I'd like to get back to my doodling.
