Ara Damansara’s Lek by Lalachong will be your new favourite spot for seafood including a surprise fried chicken dish

Ara Damansara's newest seafood hotspot, Lek by Lalachong, is drawing crowds with its family connections to the renowned 31-year-old Lala Chong Seafood Restaurant. The brainchild of Chrysann Yim, daughter of the Lala Chong owner, Lek offers a menu that combines local flavors with Thai and Indonesian influences.

Opening at 5:30pm, the restaurant quickly fills up on a Sunday evening, with diners already enjoying their meals. The grand opening special features two extra-large crabs cooked in a choice of flavors for just RM88. While traditional orange roe is absent, the sweet crab meat is a delightful treat. Other signature dishes include Ayam Goreng Kunyit Sambal Merah, a curry-spiced fried chicken that's a hit among customers, and BBQ Stingray Fish, which boasts a smoky, smoky flavor.

The seafood-focused menu also includes a refreshing Paku Cold Salad with Ikan Bilis from Pulau Pangkor, a vibrant dish offering a healthy dose of fiber. Despite the bustling atmosphere, the service remains efficient and calm, ensuring a pleasant dining experience for patrons. Conveniently located within Ara Permata, Lek by Lalachong is a perfect spot for after-dinner drinks or dessert at nearby establishments.
