#DINEWITHME: KAI'S PLATO | ENCORP STRAND, KOTA DAMANSARA (KL)

" Good friends are the greatest of all blessings. "

I could not express how lucky am I to have many good friends in life. They are irreplaceable! And of course, my birthday celebration would not complete without my team of good friends this year. So, here's my another year of birthday celebration with them at the recent most talk about seafood heaven - KAI'S PLATO. 

Located at the first floor above a mamak, you can easily spot the mamak's huge yellow signage from the main road . I would advice to park your car outdoor at the mamak as the basement parking tend to be a little eerie at night. 

Since it was a Pre-Arranged dinner, we got our table conveniently without having to queue. Kai's Plato is always full especially on weekends. To avoid disappointment, do make a reservation in advance. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a huge wall decorated with lots of colorful shells. The restaurant is quite huge; caters indoor and outdoor.

While waiting for the food to arrived, we started off with the wine session. One thing I like about having wine here is that Kai's Plato provide chilled wine glasses when serving - in very rare occasion F&B outlets provide chilled glass especially during rush hours. And these glasses are squeaky clean too! We've tried both Red and White wine - each taste fairly good I must say. 

Thanks for organizing the wonderful celebration for me, Ralf!

Thanks for the lovely present Ralf & Fred 

I love Thomas Sabo

Our dinner started with some munchies - Calamari Hoops, Kai's Chili Mussels and Spiky snails. 

Calamari Hoops (RM 11.90)

Deep fried tender calamari rings in signature batter

Kai's Chili Mussels (RM 10.90)

Mussels marinated in Kai's secret recipe

The mussels are fresh and taste good with the sauce!

Spiky snails (RM 12.90)

Succulent Steamed Spiky snails served with homemade "Kai's Syok-nya Chili Sauce"

I personally loves spiky snails and I can have lots of them in one time :D

Before the "Superstar" dish arrived, one of the staff came to give us a simple briefing on the dining rules. We were briefed on how to enjoy the food and also the usage of tools provided.

The last layer namely the "essence" - dripped down from all the steamed seafood to the bottom of the pot which bustled with amazing flavor! It was served with noodles. Unfortunately, I am unable to snap a photo due to dirty hands. Sorry about that! After completed the seafood war,  a complimentary dessert was served to our table.

After the satisfying meal, we came up to the painting session. Each of us was given a clean shell to be painted on.

My designer is working hard on it..LOL

My birthday wishes on the shells!

That's my ugly drawing! LOL

Tadaaaaa....try to make a wild guess - who is who?

Before we called it a night, the "birthday cake" moment arrived. Thank you everyone for the great moment .
