Another visit to MaMa Nyonya Restaurant at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru.

We had been visited the MaMa Nyonya Restaurant (N1.52412 E103.78532) at Taman Molek for few times in the past, and I would like to share some Nyonya dishes served by the restaurant with you.

Beside that I mentioned on previous post, these are some of the Nyonya Delicacies that you will not going to miss it...

If you like know more about 'Buah Keluak', please click here : Peranakan Cuisine.

The preparation of the dish above took much more longer compare with other dishes...estimately one day. Some peoples might not easy to adapt the taste of the Buah Keluak, we normally mixed it with the rice and we like it very much! The curry chicken was tender and tasteful.

Garlic Ginger Fish

The fish was fresh and the taste goes well with the dried garlic.

Ayam (chicken) rendang from MaMa Nyonya Restaurant

I believe most of us will think, this Ayam Rendang is commonly available anywhere around Malaysia. But the taste was different from the normal stall I visited, it had a thick rendang and nice frangrance taste. One of the Nice Rendang Chicken I ever taste before..

Sambal Petai Sotong (squid)

Normal steamed fish mixed with Nyonya Homemade Chili paste. This was my first time tasting the Nyonya dish! The homemade chili paste and the steamed fish really enhanced this Nyonya Delicacy very well! Hardly describe by words, you have to taste it yourself for the Delicious steamed fish!

We had a delightful dinner every time we visited the restaurant, we listed as one of our Favorite Restaurant within the Taman Molek area.

HAN (韩) Korea BBQ Restaurant at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru.

HAN Korea BBQ Restaurant (韩) (N1.53038 E103.79330) is located along Jalan Molek 2/2 of Taman Molek, Johor Bahru, which is just next to Standard Chartered Bank Taman Molek Branch. We had a bad experienced with the other outlet at Jalan Molek 1/28 (behind OCBC Bank Taman Molek) which was smoky and stuffy on our visit months ago, so we decided to give a try in this outlet on one of the evening...

HAN Korea BBQ Restaurant, Taman Molek

Heard from friends that this outlet was took over from another restaurant not too long ago, and the design also different from the traditional Korea restaurant...no tatami.

It was quiet and not many customers on that evening, therefore it was nice and cooling...for me, the environment is better and spacious than the other outlet which I mentioned above...

As usual, we ordered the one of the set in the menu for 2-3 person, the set include marinated Pork (五花肉), chicken, beef and a choice of soy bean or kimchi soup. We took the kimchi soup...

There were 15 different types of refillable side dishes (as appetizers) served on table before the main dishes serve where you experience in all Korean restaurant...

Every table has the flexible vaccum to avoid smoky condition, common in all Korean restaurant. The waiter patiently barbeque the meats till perfection...under the smokeless environment. Great!

After all done, the Kimchi soup presented on our table...served with a steam egg...

Korean Kimchi soup...

The pork, chicken and beef were tasteful! All were well marinated and tender! The chewy moment of the pork was unforgotten.
There were vermicellis, korean rice cakes and others in the Kimchi soup, and it was slightly 'special' compare with others, not very sour...we like the soup very much! I don't really like too sour and spicy Kimchi soup, that it kill the original taste of it (personal preference).
The texture of the steam eggs was nice, just melted in our mouth...
Delicious!

The Damage : RM118.00 for 2 adults and 1 kid included a jug of Korean tea.
The quantity of the foods enough to serve at least 3 adults, so we were overloaded again! We will be back and of course with more friends...:)

H.K.Rakit Seafood Restaurant at Jalan Pantai Kampung Pasir Puteh - Pasir Gudang, Johor.

The H.K. Rakit Seafood Restaurant (N1.42801 E103.95605) is located at the Kampung Pasir Puteh, behind the Tanjung Puteri Golf Club of Pasir Gudang, Johor. The word 'Rakit' (in Malay) means 'Floating'...well, it's because the restaurant was built on the sea (Johor Straits), and it looks like (kind of...) floating on the water...but it won't shake! :) And H.K. is 'Hock Kee', might be the name of the owner...

There is a 'unpaved road' to drive through which about 1.5KM...we like this place because it won't be over crowded and you can enjoy your seafood dinner quitely...

The restaurant has indoor and outdoor session. It was a nice weather that evening, so we prefer to dine at the outdoor area...

There is another 'floating' dining area which is Really 'Float'. But the staff said because of low tide, and they temporary close that session. According to the staff, this area also become a beer garden when almost midnight...

All seafood dishes tasted above average, I like the Steam Clams which was really special cooking method with the chili padi. The Salted Egg Crab was Nice and you can taste the salted egg even in the crab meat! Excellent!

We enjoyed the seafood dinner in the scenic view for more than 2 hours...with the company of Tiger beers. It is not complete having a seafood dinner in the nice environment, cool sea breeze without the company of beers! At least for me...:)
