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 PING WAH.

Restoran Ping Wah is a small eatery located in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya that served good, simple home style Hainanese food.

The young owner Joe Hoo is a family friend of my Singaporean relatives.
Before taking over Restoran Ping Wah, Joe was running another restaurant named Oh La La in Kuchai Lama.

These dishes were Joe's selections for us.

Parking is ample.

Braised lean pork strips with thinly sliced potatoes-a tad too sweet- would have like it more if the potatoes are cut into wedges.

Deep fried Ma Yau (Threadfin) bathed in good grade Soy sauce and garnished with deep fried ginger was a delight-crispy and moist inside.

Braised Pig's tendons with pineapple, preserved Soy bean and spring onion-tangy taste and the tendon was crunchy.

Hainanese fried egg-his dad's recipe-the egg white are fried and stirred until it was fluffy-topped it with raw egg yolk and finely chopped Chai Poh (preserved Radish)-outstanding!

Deep fried Squid rings-lightly batter, chewy but was not crunchy.

Stir fried young sweet potato shoots-tender and smooth.

Another of Joe's father recipe-sambal salted fish-way too saltish but goes well with rice.
