Restoran Ibrahim's Fatty Crab
An Array Of Seafood-licious Dishes
If one person likes Chinese cuisine and the other likes seafood dishes, the ideal location for a dinner date may just be in Ibrahim's Fatty Crab Restaurant located along Jalan Avenue 1 in Avenue Ampang, Selangor. The newly-opened Ibrahim's Fatty Crab prides itself in serving the Best Halal Chinese style seafood cuisine and is also big on fresh live seafood, especially crabs, fishes, oysters and lobsters too.
Salt Water Premium Fishes
The owner, Encik Marzuki, another great seafood fan himself speaks to me passionately about his restaurant. He aims to serve top quality fresh seafood to its patron and minced his words when he said that he puts lots of effort into providing premium and best live seafood with several top grade fish such as Jade Perch, Red Snapper, Grouper, Sea Bass and more.

I have the pleasure of meeting up with Ibrahim's Fatty Crab's Chinese Executive Head Chef Zachary Yap who helmed the kitchen churning out scrumptious halal seafood dishes since opening.

French Scallop Appetizer
RM 30 per serving
Our seafood-licious dinner started off with chef's new creation of French Scallop Appetizer. I have to say that this is the biggest scallop I ever tasted in my life. It's a big, thick and meaty scallop imported from France. Taste superb with the house-made sauce aptly named 'Sexy Lady', a concoction of minced garlic, fresh basil and chilli, which paired wonderfully together. Must try dish if you enjoy the meaty type of scallops!

French Crab with Mongolian Sauce
RM 13.90 per 100 grams
Size L
The Star of the Night ~ French Crab makes its appearance on our dining table cooked in a special exotic Mongolian sauce. Chef Zachary was proud to say that the Mongolian sauce is the best seller at the restaurant. He has improvised the original recipe by using butter instead of goat cheese to intensify the flavour. Black peppers were added to enhance the taste to a spicier level and this appeals to local palate who loves hot and spicy food.

Fried Mantao
Oh yes, order some fried mantao to eat alongside with the crabs and let the soft buns soaked or mopped up the creamy spicy Mongolian sauce off the plate, leaving you wanting more. Well, just like what I used to say "Don't put good food to waste, ah!" :-)
Salted Eggs Mud Crab
RM 8.90 (L) per 100 grams
RM 10.90 (XL) per 100 grams
RM 12.90 (XXL) per 100 grams
Another crab dish was the Salted Eggs Mud Crab. One can taste the rich sandy salted egg coating the fried crabs. The stir-fried salted egg crab was finger licking good too. The saltiness was not over-powering and will leave you wanting to clean and lick clean every bit of the gravy. Chef was very generous with the ingredients and you would be totally delighted with this dish if you are a fan of salted egg yolk dishes.
Steam Assam Fish
Moving on to fish, we were served Assam Steam Red Snapper. The fish is juicy and moist, and this is evident when cutting open its flesh. The house made assam sauce complements the fish, without affecting its sweetness. The texture is soft and flaky while the spicy and sour taste of the assam sauce will please any steamed fish lovers out there.
Next, we had Chillies Mussel. This dish didn't go on well with my taste buds as I found them too spicy. Making everything from scratch, the chef made his special hot paste from garlic, dried shrimps, dried chillies and bird eyes chilli for the extra kick. The New Zealand green lipped mussels are fresh and succulent despite being super spicy for me. If you like to try this chillies style of cooking, do note to the waiter to tone down the spiciness.
Chef Zachary had also prepared a surprise for us by serving his new and latest dish, Broccoli with Sea Asparagus and Pacific Clam. Nicely plated and presented to us with blanched broccoli with flavoursome sea asparagus, Pacific clams and shitake mushroom served in a savoury house-made sauce.
Scallop Sauce Fried Rice
RM 8 (S)
RM 12 (M)
RM 16 (L)
Another house speciality is all-time favourite Scallop Sauce Fried Rice. Signature rice dish of the restaurant, not to be missed is this yummy light and spicy, full-of-wok-hei fried rice. This fried rice is not just any normal fried rice, as the rice is full of flavour with an aromatic taste of Chef's homemade scallop sauce. Fried to perfection with chicken, prawns and squid, this rice dish is a delicious fare on its own. By the way, if you cannot take spicy food, do ask them to tone down the spiciness too.
Overall, Ibrahim's Fatty Crab has proved itself to be one of the places to head for when you looking for tasty and fresh seafood. So if you find yourself craving for delicious seafood, especially fresh and meaty crabs, head on over to Ibrahim's Fatty Crab for a total indulgence in seafood satisfaction. With its open-air concept and spacious cosy ambience, this is perfect families and couples dining.
