Seafood is traditionally expensive, particularly if they are caught fresh from the water. And more so when it comes to lobsters. So, if you don’t mind splurging your hard-earned cash on this sweet and succulent shellfish, these are 7 Places To Enjoy Lobster Dishes in Klang Valley.
1) Baby Lobster Lab @ Various Locations
Lobster is typically expensive but thanks to Baby Lobster Lab, they manage to sell the otherwise luxurious seafood item at a wallet-friendly price. Well, at least in the form of baby lobster (crayfish) served in a buttery roll. The lobster meat is freshly prepared on a daily basis and layered with a secret sauce before being sandwiched between the toasted buttered roll. Other than their signature Lobster Roll, you can also try their Premium Roll, which comes with succulent lobster and shrimp meat added together. Now, here comes the interesting part: Normally, you would find lobster rolls in a brick-and-mortar restaurant or cafe. But Baby Lobster Lab operates exclusively in selected Klang Valley pasar malam locations.
