Shell Out Seafood Restaurant @ Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya

Shell Out is a first of it's kind Seafood Restaurant in Kota Damansara that had opened it's doors in June 2013. They offer a unique dining experience along with very fresh seafood that will get you all messy and crave for more.This restaurant is located quite close to Sunway Giza. I have heard about this restaurant and wanted to come here for some months now but just did not get the right company. Today, since my brother and father were in town, I decided to bring them over as I knew for a fact that they would love the food and the environment here.

As you walk in, you would immediately be attracted by the nautical ornamentation of fishing nest, lifebuoys and shellfish themed art work that would clearly suggest that it is all seafood here. You would also observe that there are no plates or cutlery here and that everyone eats with their hands and the food is served on the table. Shell Out practices a peculiar concept where they lay large waxed brown papers on the table and you eat off it. Well for me, it was definitely an interesting way to eat and I felt that that is how you should enjoy seafood....by getting all messy. Do note that they do not have the Halal status as beer is served on their menu but I believe that our Muslim friends should be rather comfortable as they serve nothing but seafood here. The reception here is also very good and they are very quick to attend to you.

The Menu
Their menu offers a variety of both imported and local seafood. You would have to choose the type of seafood, the quantity and then the flavours that you want them to be cooked in. They have five different flavours, Lemon Pepper, Butter Garlic, Curry Curry, Black Pepper and Shell Bang which is a combination of all the previous four in a single dish. To me, the prices seem very decent bearing in mind that these are all fresh and mostly imported stuffs. Besides seafood, they also offer some sides like vegetables, fries and garlic bread. 

Our Table

Seems That Even The Lamps Were Not Spared

All Set and Waiting
It was interesting to read all the lines that customers have penned on the furniture, walls and even the lamps and they all seemed appreciative of the food here. From the above photo, you can see that the waxed paper had already been laid out on our table and we were waiting for the dishes to arrive. Since it was the holiday season, the restaurant was full house and it took them roughly 30 minutes to send the food over. 

Fanta Orange @ RM 3.90

Coca Cola @ RM 3.90

Sky Juice @ RM 1.00
The drinks came fairly quickly but was slightly on the pricey side.

Food Delivered
This is how all the dishes were served.... in a plastic bag. Most people would just empty the bags onto the table and some of them would just rip it open and kinda have it from there. Very unconventional way of serving but hey, it was fun. 

Half Shell Scallop 250g cooked in Lemon Pepper Flavour @ RM 18.90

Closer Look at the Half Shell Scallops
Time to get the hands dirty. These half shell scallops were absolutely delicious. The Lemon Pepper sauce went perfectly well and it was really addictive. We choose for all the dishes to be medium spicy and the moment the bags were ripped open, the aroma was fantastic. I would rate this dish at 10/10. 

King Prawns (300g) in Butter Garlic Sauce @ RM 29.90 + Add Potatoes @ RM 1.50

Closer Look at The King Prawns and Potato
The King Prawns was another fantastic preparation. To add to the taste, we had asked them to add potatoes and that came at a small price but took the taste to different heights. The Butter Garlic Sauce was definitely the right choice to go with these King Prawns. Excellent dish. I would once again rate this at 10/10.

2 Indonesian Crabs in Shell Bang Sauce @ RM 28.00

Better Look at the Crabs
They were running a promotion for the crabs. Today it was 2 Indonesian Crabs at RM 28.00 and it was a good deal. Based on the recommendation from the owners, we went for the Shell Bang flavours which is a combination of all the available flavours and it was really good. My brother being a crab lover definitely had an enjoyable time with this dish. Mallets are also provided to break the shells. Once again, this dish deserves nothing less than 10/10.

Us Enjoying Our Meal

Meal in Progress
We all just enjoyed ourselves tonight as the food was really great. There was not a single dish that had disappointed us. 

Getting Messy

The Mess That We Left Behind
Overall, this is definitely a highly recommended place. On weekends and holiday seasons, do check out their Facebook page as they usually update any available promotions there. During the said days, it is also advisable to come early as they tend to get full house and food can take slightly longer to be served but the wait is definitely worth it. I would definitely return here soon for another seafood feast!

    1. They only serve seafood hence it is a Pork Free restaurant. But no, they do not have the Halal certification. This is based on my observation then, not sure if they have acquired now.

  2. hi, i would like to know whether the beer/wine mix together in to the food during cooking, as a part of the cooking/seasoning?

    1. Hi....from what I was told, no alcohol is added to the food. I do see quite a number of Muslim patrons too here. They have not got the Halal status simply because they serve alcohol on their menu but the food is strictly without it.

  3. Some eatery proprietors take care of the issue by receiving a disliked approach much to the embarrassment of the coffee shops. They ask for the burger joints' Mastercard numbers and charge an expense to the coffee shops' Visas if they don't turn up for the supper arrangement. elias cole restaurant nj

  6. We have been informed and told everyone to everyone. YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE) was embarrassed by Buddhism, as a shame of the Buddhist world

    In addition, do dirty with monks. He thinks this temple is his, when we read the articles on the internet, our mind is sadder because of many posts and comments on the internet.

    But he still doesn't know anything. Maybe he is close to the six senses feelings. This is very low knowledge. Some old man groups at Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong are also very embarrassing when they speak about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE

    On the contrary, if this Yip Kum Fook has learned the law, he needs to understand some laws, other lawyers do not make problems and deceive people, only this Yip Kum Fook in the world…..

    In Buddhist also same, if he understands Buddhist knowledge, why does he need to do badly, insult Buddhist monks (rejected monks out from Temple), we know about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE because we are groups opened this Temple at Taman Ehsan on 1987
    We don't say much because of his karma (YIP)

    敬爱的佛教信土:
    我是甲洞三宝寺 (暹廟) SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION NO: 19-21 JALAN 38 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. 的理事, 当任此职多年, 对内的事務也一清二楚。

    最近, 在网络上看了PHRA PIYATHAMMO和尚和马华公会鸱唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的双方信件, 使我的内心久久不能平伏, 良心受到很大的譴責, 不吐訢不痛快, 所以我要誠恳的説:他叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)侓师叫外来的流流氓到三宝寺(暹廟)挑衅和尚打架及电招警方人员扣捕沙彌, 其嘲笑手法, 不外是要显示其权力, 而鞏固其职位, 以达到权力就是一切, 好让住持难堪, 自动離开, 方便行事……这种举动, 已间接的表逹其含意, 住持和尚兼顾问, 都无能为力,你们这些信徒能做什么?即使告马耒西亜佛教总会又能为难什么?这种心态, 的硧令人反感, 不是一个正信佛教者应有的行为。

    至今, 三宝寺的理事成员多数是其親戚, 这是实事, 加入会员需交RM100元费用,同时,必须经过叶金福(Yip Kum Fook)律师的同意,否则免談, 所以会员也不多。

    马华公会鹅唛区主席叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师,自控制三宝寺之後,把三宝寺(暹廟)当着私人產業,聘用和尚賺钱,利用佛教的道地为政治活动埸所,而处理三宝寺的钱财也不透明?这点,值得信众追问。马来西亚地擴人多,和尚也不缺乏,为什么不用本地和尚当任住持化缘,却偏偏劳心劳神,浪费签证费,交通费? 还要烦劳梹城佛总的推荐信, 向文化不同, 而語言又不通之千哩外囯缅旬和尚求助? 为什么….为什么? 只要我们用头脑想一想,便一日了然, 不必晝虎添足。

    叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师说:欢迎任何人如有意见,可以电话03:62762369/0122039700 Email: YIPKUMFOOK@HOTMAIL.COM 戓到其马华公会鹅唛区会甲洞三宝寺及以下地圵:NO.2,B JALAN 53 TAMAN DESA JAYA KEPONG 52100 SELANGOR, MALAYSIA.討論, 我要老实的提醒大家, 最好不要一个去見他, 因为这个人狡滑, 笑裡藏刀, 很阴险, 出家人都不放在眼裡, 連TAMAN DAYA 52100 KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. 众人的印度廟也敢放火燒, 利用权势把场地佔为己有, 由此可见, 他是何等的心毒? 还有现在三宝寺内, 各处都按裝计孔监视来人一举一动。

    目前, 三宝寺很多信徒及当地居民, 已经对叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak )律师不满, 但也不能做什么。他计划把三宝寺主席的职位轉给其子YIP JIUN HANN律师, 续承皇朝. 想近一部了觧詳情, 可上网得知。

    再说, 根据前理事在网络上给叶金福(Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak)律师的批評, 説他懂得包裝自己的道德守则, 以宗教为幌子手, 到处募款, 啇業经营, 政治活动为重, 并没依循佛教守則行事, 也没对人道作出貢献, 只不过借三宝寺宗教之名捞取权和私利而己, 其言也不为过, 是实事。

    在此, 我恳切希望, 廣大的佛教信仰者, 给予关注, 并共創義举, 弘扬佛教. 谢谢。
