We've been on the hunt for lobster-based dishes in the area
Succulent and sweet, lobster has a reputation for being one of the most luxurious meats on the market, and for good reason too—few things compare to the shellfish's delicate yet flavourful flesh.
We've taken the time to round up eight decadent lobster dishes available right here in the Klang Valley. From Burger & Lobster's lobster roll and Brasa's lobster Thermidor to lobster tagliatelle at The Brasserie, the lobster offerings at these restaurants are worth picking off one by one.
