The sea view restaurant is a typical Chinese cuisine restaurant to make some various cuisine food, especially some hoking and Cantonese dishes.
The dishes taste good. I ate at his house for two consecutive days. There were many locals. The ingredients were very fresh. I really liked the butter shrimp. The taste is quite in line with the public taste. It's not bad. I feel that the taste is very good. The price is a bit high. You can ask the boss for a discount.
Next to Haifeng Hotel, the processing fee and the price of the seafood they sell are more affordable than other places. It is just opposite the hotel, very convenient. The waiter can speak Chinese. The food is served quickly. Drinks are also provided. It is very delicious. Very good.
After looking around Semporna for a long time, I finally went to the last two restaurants, including Fat Mama, Seaview, and Tianxiake. The reason why I only give it four stars for service is that I asked if I could order less shrimps. The waiter may not have understood what I said. Later, I asked the boss and he said that I could order less. There are abundant seafood near Semporna Town. I can see that from the fish everywhere when I dive. I ordered HK style crabs, which is fried crabs in the typhoon shelter. The local method is still different from that in Hong Kong. The seafood fried noodles are too light for me. Maybe I should ask for more spicy. The fried squid with salted egg yolk tastes good. The salty and fragrant salted egg yolk matches the freshness of the squid. The mantis shrimp followed me and I ordered the black pepper flavor. The shrimp meat is very tender and sweet. The mango smoothie has a rich flavor and is worth a try.
Arrived in Semporna, I went straight to Seaview Seafood in the evening. Flower dragon was 350RM per kg, blue dragon was 250RM per kg, and big mantis shrimp was 300RM per kg. The price was more than double what I saw in other people’s comments. Is it because the Chinese New Year is coming soon? !
The shrimps and crabs here are all weighed by kilograms, unlike in Kota Kinabalu where the price is charged by quantity. I ordered the signature tofu, which was crispy on the outside and fragrant and tasty on the inside. Tiger grouper, razor clams, egg yolk crab, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, seafood fried rice, coconut pudding, and of course my favorite orange ice, the watermelon juice was also great. I liked it very much.
If you want to be ripped off, you must go to Seaview Seafood Restaurant! The seafood is extremely not fresh! The meat quality is the worst I have ever eaten in town, the tiger shrimp and mantis shrimp have been soaked in formalin!! Don’t ask me how I know, the processed fish was swapped, I bought a 4-pound fish, everyone take a look!!
Seafood Processing (downstairs of Xinhaifeng Hotel, facing Xinhaifeng, the one on the right). Wet butter lobster, lobster head congee, dry butter chicken, steamed tiger grouper, stir-fried elephant snails with ginger and scallions, coconut pudding, signature tofu. Five people ate 485, and ordered expensive lobster and mantis shrimp, so it's considered normal price.
