Restoran Asli Makanan Laut Mutiara Biru.

Guest post by Michelle.

My family and I went to Johor Baru for a holiday and we stayed at our cousin Samantha's parent house.

I remembered the last visit, we went to a huge Orchid farm in Pulai, swam in a waterfall in Kota Tinggi, ate various types of food along the way and enjoyed the sea breeze on the beach in Desaru, all in one day !

It has been a long time and now Johor Baru have changed, with traffic jams and new developments all over the city skyline.

I missed the nasi lemak at a shop with no name located near the Perling mall.

But never mind, my uncle Kam treated us to a delicious seafood dinner at Restoran Asli Makanan Laut Mutiara Biru near Skudai.

Deep fried Squid's rings-lightly batter, fresh and chewy.

Butter Crab-fresh and meaty with a smooth texture.

Steamed Prawns-real fresh and juicy-was alive in the aquarium awhile ago!

Stir fried Choy Tam-only green of the night.

Asli boy was happy after collecting Rm2 parking fee from us.

Location: Kg Sg Temon Baru,
Skudai, Johor Baru.

RESTORAN KING CRAB.

At one time, Restoran King Crab was on our must eat list......then the long queue for tables started, lack of parking spaces and the standard of their food quality deteriorated.

Tonight after a number of months, we went back there for dinner and alas! the hungry crowds are no longer there-most of staff are newbies and there were only a few odd tables of diners.

We ordered the usual fare and surprisingly there were some marked improvement.

Parking is OK after 7 pm.

Crispy Chicken- the chicken was deboned and it's meat spread with a thick layer of fish paste before it is deep fry-very crispy skin but the fish paste was way too firm-the garlicky chillies sauce was a good dip-Rm30/

Stir fried Brinjal with well marinated minced Pork, finely chopped red Chillies, Lard and salted fish-a bit salty but very aromatic-perfect with rice-Rm18/

Polo Pork ribs-lightly batter meaty Pork ribs-deep fried and tossed with sliced Pineapple and red Chillies-hint of Lemon sauce-Rm20/

Tofu-braised with Fish paste, Beancurd sheets, gluten puffs and thick stem Chicken Mustard-a well balanced dish to suit everyone tastebuds-Rm18/

Butter Crabs (1kg +) cooked in a Clay pot which retained all of it's aroma- the thick creamy butter flavored crabs gravy was a good dip for the steamed Mantou (Rm3/)-crab meat was fresh and meaty-Rm43/.
