28082016 Kai's Plato Kota Kemuning - Grand Opening!

It's the grand opening of Kai's Plato new outlet in Kota Kemuning, and I'm so honored to be invited to it! All thanks to FoodInk, my plus one and I was part of a wonderful occasion!

My previous visit to Kai's Plato was at its original outlet at Kota Damansara, and it was a satisfying experience! So I was really looking forward to visiting the new Kota Kemuning's outlet, especially when they have new items to introduce the public!

We arrived earlier than scheduled and was given many clean, emptied shells for creating our own crafts and artworks *so exciting!* But then comes the problem:

WHAT SHOULD I DRAW?!

There were more on the walls! 

Pretty neat eh? 

So other decorations on the wall 

The menu at the time of writing 

Gary's and Vivy's art!

Say don't know how to draw, but will you look at that!

There were other cool drawings too!

POKEMON!

And I looked around, and gotten lots of inspiration by the talented and creative patrons before us! Oh, did I mentioned that they had already opened 1 month before this? The grand opening ceremony is just for formality =)

They serve wine too! Lots of variety =) 

I got to try a few of them!

A little close up on the some of the wines - white and red =)

And of course, grand opening ceremony has to be welcomed with the majestic lion dance!

After much wait, food is ready to be served! We feasted our eyes on the delicious looking food - freshly steamed and cooked!

(Clockwise from top-right) Sambal Cockles, Cajun Spiced Shrimp, Kai's Chilli Mussels, Sandy Crabby, Crispy Calamari

A special drink on the house for us. Didn't manage to catch the name of these drinks.

If you do find out, please let me know in the comments below. 

Kai's Jumbo Platter

Everyone was so excited as we unveil the layers of food! 

CHECK THEM OUT!!

Wooo weee~! 

If you've not tried them, go and do so!

Experience the majestic taste of awesome seafood! =D

Besides that we were also given other flavors to try too!

1. Pineapple Sauce - by far the best one I've tried!
2. Butter Lemon Chili Sauce - at the time of writing, it was alright; could be better
3. Sambal Chili Sauce - if you're a fan of spicy food, this is for you!
4. Cajun Sauce - same as above, it was too spicy for me to comment further.

Giant Crabby - One of the ornaments there

Jasmine with the other ladies =)

29052015 Min's Pre-Birthday Dinner at Kai's Plato, Kota Damansara

Quietly behind her back, I organized a birthday dinner for Min with our colleagues. There were some hiccups and misunderstanding, but I think I had them sorted out? I'm truly sorry and I wished for the best of things. No hard feelings to anyone ya, if there's any unresolved issues, please let me know.

So, I got some help from Von who recommended this a seafood restaurant, and also offered to buy the birthday cake as well. So, so thankful to Von! So, I made a booking at Kai's Plato, and pre-ordered the platter (see more in the pictures below) to be shared.

Why all the hassle? I figured because of the recent workload that Min has on her plate, I'd like to change that plate around for something nicer. Plus, she likes surprises. She wouldn't see this coming from a mile away =D

A reminder to tell me of her birthday

No, it's not an alarm, but I think it's sync-ed from FB if not mistaken.

We were late for our booking due to slow traffic, but I had already informed the boss of the place about it. The boss was pretty cool and left our tabled reserved for us. Von & Sen Yee arrived earlier than me. The rest came in just moments are Min & I arrived. Yet, we still have to wait for our pre-order item to arrive.

 It's a Friday night, and I guess that's why there's so many people here at Kai's Plato!

Captain Platter (for 4 pax)

RM229.80

When our dinner arrives, it was astonishing!

Top Layer: Claims, Squid, Prawns, Cheese-baked Mussels and baby octopus

Behold the eye-opening sight of wonderous seafood!

2nd Layer: Crabs, Scallops & Lobster

Unfortunately one of the crabs went bad,

but thankfully the boss had it replaced for us almost immediately.

This is good service!

3rd Layer: Giant Crab

This was additional order, RM68 per crab

Just to give you an idea of how big the crab was 

The last layer: Soup, to be mixed with noodles!

At the end of the seafood savory, there's soup which is to be mixed with noodles (provided separately, but it's under the Captain's Platter set)

The wall decorations were very unique as patrons of the restaurant

can stick their scallop shells on the walls.

and yes we had red wine, on the house!

Because it was Min's birthday =) 

 I wanted to try some artistic shot of the crabs, prawns and lobsters' remains

 Not sure if it works, but there's some feel in it, I hope?

We were very satisfied with our seafood meal =)

Happy birthday my princess, Min =)

Another birthday shot of my princess

 Then the restaurant's waiters brought this over to our table!

The group shot!

Von had to leave early so she wasn't in the picture =/

Surely can't miss out our picture together!

Thanks Sen Yee for reminding, lol

This picture went viral on FB,

where most of our colleagues realized that we're *finally* in a relationship.

lol xD

Of course I can't let this moment pass by.

The tradition must go on!

 Wefie of us!

After our meals and cakes, we had our very own color-your-scallop-shells session.

Then we stuck them on the wall together with the others!

The panoramic view of the interior

If you don't mind splurging, I'd recommend to try out this. The experience is worth it. However, you need to be mindful of the portion. When the set states 4 pax, it is really meant for 4 people and no more (even if you're a small eater). Also, take note that the service is really slow when there's many people in the restaurant. This was the only issue when we were there, even our snacks came in pretty slow. But overall, this is a fine place to dine at. You might want to consider to do a booking in advance if you want to dine there, as I understand that they're pretty packed, especially Fridays nights and Weekends.
