Creamy Durian Seafood and Golden Salted Egg Sauce at Just Seafood

Durian and seafood. What is Just Seafood thinking?!! Whatever made them risk it to put it in their menu is...brilliant! The sound of the pairing might leave your hair standing on ends (happened to me at least) but it could be something that you'd be glad you ordered- only under the condition that you LOVE durians. If not, stay away and save the displeasure. Check out my previous visit here.
What is Just Seafood up to this time

Since the Creamy Durian Seafood can very well sit in the bizarre category, do give it a chance when you smell the aroma. Let the waiter pour it on the table for you and allow it to breathe before you judge.
Creamy Durian Seafood coming right up!
I must say that if I were to appoint a master of cream conundrums, I would drag the chef out of Just Seafood's kitchen. The secret to the fruition the Creamy Durian sauce is as easy as a good balance between cream, milk, cheese, black pepper and of course durian. But it is THE balance that makes it the indelible impression!

There was a sense of disbelief when I had my first taste of Creamy Durian. I did not think it was possible for the best of two worlds to co-exist so harmoniously in the same dish. When my taste buds recognized my favourite fruit in the form of a sauce, the warmth was as good as meeting a good old friend! The sauce cleverly compliments the seafood although from another realm. Get ready to be nuanced by sweetness and creaminess among the savouriness of the smooth pale yellow sauce.

Surprisingly too, the strong-smelling ingredient did not overpower the taste of seafood. The durian flavour dissipated while I shelled my seafood letting the freshness of the crustaceans emerge when I popped them in my mouth. I don't know how the chef does it but the whole experience was phenomenal and recommended!

The refreshing pandan lemongrass is strongly recommended when having seafood
While sipping on some refreshing pandan lemongrass to clean the palate, the fashionable Golden Salted Egg Seafood was waiting. Although I admit that salted egg yolks holds much yumminess on its own, Just Seafood managed to accentuate it with milk and spices. The grainy sauce is appetizing and sure to capture hearts- it's the salted egg yolk for goodness sake!

Just Seafood @ Sunway Giza

It is time to get messy! It is obvious that seafood and mess come hand-in-hand in order to enjoy its scrumptiousness. In Sunway Giza, there is a restaurant that approves of the chaos. Just Seafood is a specialist in western style seafood, serving meals in the most unusual way!
Ready for the much awaited seafood adventure!
Just Seafood, like its name suggests, has been serving fresh ocean harvest from crabs to prawns to oysters and mussels since 2014. Other than its interesting menu, it has also pioneered the on-table style. If you have passed by restaurants that pours the food on the table without any plates, I am proud to inform that it is the brainchild of Terrence Ham, owner of Just Seafood.

I would say, my sister and I not only went for good food, we embarked on a seafood adventure that evening.
Irresistibly scrumptious fresh raw USA oysters
USA Natural 1 piece RM18.00
USA Natural 4 pieces free 1 RM72.00
USA Natural 7 pieces free 2 RM126.00
USA Natural 12 pieces free 4 RM216.00
The oyster got me literally eating out of its palm. I was in heaven!
The world became our oyster the moment the first dish was out. Incredibly fresh raw oysters flown in from the United States in the size of my palm definitely stimulated our appetite. The oyster was so huge that it took several bites to finish which definitely gave me a generous amount of satisfaction. I had mine untainted (without sauce) and in its most raw and original form. I died of happiness and went to heaven! Every bite was succulent and sweet with its divine texture. If you want to taste oceanic sublimity, this is the place.

Cannot wait to get my hands on the pile
 Cajun Style Seafood
1-2 pax RM109++
3-4 pax RM199++
5-7 pax RM399++
The signature dish was spread on the table after the impressive prelude. The seafood combi that includes mud crabs, prawns, clams, mussels and squid are cooked in Louisiana Cajun Style. This style is popularized by the Vietnamese in Louisiana. Terrence and his Vietnamese chef, perfected their version of Louisiana Cajun sauce which has just the right thickness. Every piece is smothered by tangy and flavoursome Cajun sauce that has a tinge of spiciness. The spiciness level can be adjusted according to customer's taste. I find its taste goes very well with seafood. Comes with choice of rice or bread.
Creamy Peanut Special Seafood
1-2 pax RM109++
3-4 pax RM199++
5-7 pax RM399++
Beware of the Creamy Peanut sauce! There is no way to debate about its spell-binding fragrance.  I must say that this is my favourite although the Cajun is their best-seller. Another authentic concoction by Terrence and his chef, is inspired by Malaysian's favourite satay peanut sauce. It is reinvented to blend with seafood with a nutty taste and a creamy note. Remember to mop the table with bread to savour the gravy. 
Butter Milk Seafood
1-2 pax RM99++
3-4 pax RM189++
5-7 pax RM369++
Non-spicy and sufficiently creamy, the Butter Milk is the western version of the Chinese lai yau. The package is sans squid and clams because butter milk sauce would match them less. Its aroma is beholden to the adequate spices thrown into the equation. Whole bottles of buttermilk are whisked into the special blen and enhanced by freshly plucked curry leaves. 
You can tell that food was cooked with the right amount of time as squid was tender and succulent and non of the crustaceans' meat shrank. Just Seafood does not skimp on ingredients and makes sure that quality is priority. The restaurant is completely pork-free and has an open kitchen concept so that nothing is concealed.
Lemongrass pandan RM9.00
My drink of choice that evening was lemongrass pandan that invigorates the palate with every sip.
Uncle Vincent's original recipe chilli mussels from Perth on Today's Special Menu
Chilli Mussels RM49.00
Those who have been to Perth would have heard of Uncle Vincent's Chili Mussels. Now you can get the dish cooked using the exact recipe right here. This item however is not a regular on the menu. It appears on the specials list occasionally. I find it quite a pity as this tasty bowl of mussels is definitely a delight to have. Seasoned with mixed herbs, it exudes piquancy amid the tangy tomato and chili sauce. 
Cannot be distracted from my seafood
I heart prawns
My sister Evy and I bonding over great food
Just Seafood gave my sister and I a memorable meal that evening. The fun of primitively grabbing food  from the surface of the table was simply awesome! You should have been there when my sister told me to "pass" her the squid- I grabbed them with my hands and put it anywhere within her reach! Thumbs up to this concept! I recommend this place for an oyster fix or a unique seafood meal.

Has the idea of wiping the table with bread appeared tasty to you?
