Dusun Kitchen Ampang | Fresh Seafood Delight in Ampang, Malaysia

Overview

Dusun Kitchen Ampang, nestled in the heart of Taman Cahaya Indah, Ampang Jaya, offers a refreshing take on seafood dining that combines simplicity with bold flavors. This modest yet inviting restaurant serves up generous portions of fresh seafood, prepared with sauces that stand out as the true heroes of the menu. From Original Sauce Shell Out to Dusun Berapi Ori Sauce, each dish delivers a vibrant, spicy kick that complements the natural sweetness of the sea’s bounty.

The highlight here is undoubtedly the Shell Out sets, particularly Set B, which brings together a medley of prawns, scallops, squid, and mussels tossed in rich, aromatic sauces meant to be savored with hands-on enjoyment. This communal style of dining encourages a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for families and groups seeking an unpretentious meal full of flavor.

The crispy siakap goreng garing stands out for its perfect crunch and lack of fishy odor, exemplifying the kitchen’s ability to elevate even basic seafood staples. Customers have also praised the kam heong sauce for adding a delightful complexity to their shell out experience.

Ordering ahead can help them reserving the food (not the table) for you. Easy for them to manage the food whether it is enough to be served to the incoming customers (without booking). One of their weakness, they didn't ask or reconfirm with the customer whether we've booked or not. So, upon arrival, make sure to inform them you've made a reservation, so that you could get the foods that you booked. Overall, the food was good, big portion and it's fresh. But the Ikan bakar sambal petai took some time to be served. In my case, we've got everything else except ikan bakar and unable to wait any longer, we just digged in with everything we've got. The ikan bakar only arrived after we finished everything (which are set rm149+ and udang tepung 2 set)

I have to say, even though they use some frozen items, the food here is surprisingly good! What really elevates the dishes is their original sauce—you absolutely have to try it; it's the highlight of the menu. The dish that stole the show for me was the crispy fried sea bass (siakap goreng garing). It was perfectly cooked—crispy and golden—with absolutely no fishy or stale smell (tak berbau and tak hasyir). You get a generous portion for a reasonable price, which is always a win. We also tried a few other things. The grilled sea bass and grilled stingray (siakap bakar and pari bakar) were both excellent. They had a wonderfully smoky, flavourful aroma that really gave them a "thumbs up" from me. Now for a minor critique: we ordered the fried calamari (sotong goreng tepung), and unfortunately, it was clearly made from a frozen product. For the price, I felt like it could have been better quality. One thing to keep in mind: don't expect a true "shell out" experience here. This is a simple, decent spot for a satisfying meal. Overall, it's a solid place to eat!

Amazingly good Shellout place with a very reasonable price! The Shellout for 2 pax filled with lots of cockles, Lala and some mussels, along with 1 crab and few shrimps. Definitely worth the money.
