Cabe Ijo Seafood Resto

5 Edith Sabara - 7 months ago

Typical chinese seafood resto with live seafood so it will definitely taste fresh, clean, and flavorfull. As its name cabe ijo (green chilli), their green sambal was on point, I love the taste, the umami and the spicy were balance.

Their live seafood was put out front of the restaurant so you may choose your order by pick the seafood by yourself before entering the dining area. They have spacious indoor dining area, although the air conditioner at the time not working properly so it was hot inside. Also a very limited parking area, unfortunately.

I've ordered ax shells (51k), tiger scallop (45k), grilled alu-alu fish with green sambal (64k), and tofu sapo (70k). All of them were delicious and absolute tasty. They priced the seafood by ounce. My favourite is the alu-alu fish. Not every seafood resto has this kind of fish. The texture was nice not to mention the sweetness, matched my palate.

Located on a busy street with limited parking, it has all the signs of a good 'dive' seafood place -- the aquariums and buckets with water out front, the grill and grill baskets billowing smoke across the street .... The seafood was delicious and fresh. IMHO, best item on the menu is the mud crab (black pepper) but the salted egg and garlic fried prawns were good too. With only one stomach each, we had to pick and choose - but there was no bad dish!

Service was good, mostly empty due to COVID. But this is not a linen table cloth kind of place - but perfect if you want to get your hands dirty and have a cold Bintang (or two) with fresh seafood. YUM!

Grilled Alu-Alu fish with Cabe Ijo is their signature dish. But I love Gurameh Goreng, Soka Telur Asin, and Steam Prawn the most.
Their price range is good compare to other seafood restaurant around and there is always a discount everyday for some menus.

Food is very tasty, but everything does seem to come with (sweet) chilli paste (sambal), and I mean just about everything... fish, chicken, veggies.... everything. I found it just about perfect but some of my friends thought it was a bit too spicy. Fish was very fresh.

Visited during lunch hour on friday. The place is big so they can accommodate big groups easily, but you need to book to get them prepared. Parking is not a problem too as there is someone in charge and he is quite efficient in arranging the cars. In terms of food, they generally taste good. The crabs are very juicy and quite sweet, though not as fresh as the ones I had in Batam. The shrimps are good, especially the spices. The fried gurame is awesome, not too dry but still crispy with the right amount of oil left. Overall, a very pleasant lunch!

First note: super good!!! They offered fresh seafood with 30% discount (promo when we arrived). I must say I have couples of hidden gem. This adds to the list. First time as recommended by a friend.

The ikan sukang (fish is grillled on point) and the seasoning and taste were awesome. The green chilli sambal is spicy but really good. Couple with cabe ubi, boiled prawns, nasi luwit (nasi lemak taste) and fried squid. Everything was so delicious.

Price is reasonable and the ambiance is good. If you are around town, go and visit the place. You will not be disappointed!

A nice seafood restorant with a cozy place with ac. Available seafood either live or not. 50% disc available for Monday to Friday with different menu every day which can be 50% discount. In this place we will be a little difficult to find a parking space especially if it's full of visitors. The dining room is quite spacious but will feel very full on a Saturday night and full of guests who eat. The taste of seafood is delicious, especially with a 50% discount for certain types of food. There is a disc of Lobster cheese, crab, boiled shrimp, fish. We just adjust our day and favorite food.This is one seafood restaurant that must be tried and visited if you claim to be a seafood lover.
