Compared to Port Dickson, the small town of Lukut is not really in everyone's radar when it comes to tourism, although both are located in the same constituency. However, there is one reason, no.. it's actually two reason for you to stop by this sleepy...town if you happen to be nearby or on your way to PD.
The gigantic bun aptly named lucky king bun is one of the reason why. Well known among the locals but to everyone else, this is worth checking out. Among Malaysians, we love dipping the bread into the curry no matter big or small. The people at lucky decided to improvise the concept.
◾lucky king bun - instead of serving you bun and curry separately, they wrap the curry inside the XXXL sized bun.. so big that it could easily feed 4 or 5 person. 3 choices available - pork curry, chicken curry and yin yong (curry pork + dong po yuk). The latter is suitable to those who have small kids who don't like curry. The curry gravy is thick, aromatic and fragrant yet not too spicy.. evidently cooked for a long time. The dong po yuk on the other hand is just nice.. not great but should appeal to the children.
◾Seafood pot - now this IS the 2nd reason why I made it a point to stop by here. Imagine a claypot generously filled with myriad of seafood - tiger prawns, crab, clams, squids, fish slices and meat balls - in mild, milky and aromatic curry broth (reminiscent of Indonesian style curry) that is packed with the sweetness of the seafood. This dish is served together with a plate of rice vermicelli which soaks up the flavour of the soup. It's been a while since the last time I had something like this.. memorable!
◾The buns are extremely popular and sells like hot cakes! They were completely snapped up by the time we finished our meal.
On with their busy days, they do not entertain small orders such as fried rice or noodle as according to them, they could not cope with the surge in crowds and orders. However, I still make it a point to stop here for lunch everytime before continuing my way to Port Dickson for holiday,, everytime.More
