This morning, Dick fetched Phillip & myself and we met Richard & Thomas at the latter's home. We cleared Malaysian Customs by 11am and had a pleasant one hour drive to Taman Mewah in Senai.

We ordered the above dishes. They were all very well cooked and tasty. The Assam Red Snapper and the Curry Prawns were very fresh. Plus drinks, the total bill was Rm109 (S$45).

After this hearty meal, we drove back to Johore Bahru and went to Bamboo Restaurant in Taman Sentosa. Richard and myself tapau two Emperor Herbal Chicken each, while Thomas bought one. Next, we headed for City Square in town to have coffee and Portuguese Egg Tarts @ Robin's.

Returned back to Singapore by 4.30pm. An foodfull day well spent.

Chicken Rice & Sio Bak Party @ Eric Lim's Place

Eric invited us for lunch at his place on 8th August 2011. Amongst those invited were Gabriel Chan, Ivan Wong, Gerald Gonzales, Joseph Bong, Richard Lim, Dick Lee, Thomas Tan, Phillip Lim and myself.

The chicken rice was good but his sio bak was excellent. The meat was well seasoned & succulent and the skin very crispy.

We had a joyful reunion and shared about the good old school and army days. The conversation got so interesting that it stretched all the way to tea time and we all finally left before dinner time.

We look forward to Eric's next meal of sio bak.

Crispy Crayfish

Despite the rain, my makan kaki & I decided to go into JB for lunch. Met outside Kranji MRT Station @ 10.30am and took a bus into Johore Bahru. Took another bus to Pelangi Plaza and strolled up to Grand Paragon Hotel to survey the food served for buffet lunch.

Lots of light and finger food, desserts and ice cream. Not much quality food for main course. This place is good for group interaction and the ambience is excellent. Guests can have a foodfull time from 12 noon to 2.30pm.

Not wanting to spend Rm38++ Less 20% for Senior Citizen, we strolled back to Pelangi Plaza and settled for Indian food @ Restoran E & Y across the road. We helped ourselves to the above dishes. Of course, the Behoon Mee Goreng was individually fried. Ate to our herts' content and the final bill was Rm24.90 (S$10.30).

Few doors away, we saw Crispy Crayfish being sold @ Beetle Bubble Tea. Being curious, we ordered a serve @ Rm5.50 (S$2.20). The crayfish is freshly coated with batter and fried. Chilli powder is sprinkled onto them and served. Crunchy on the outside and the crayfish tasted good.

Made our way back to City Square for ice cream before returning to Singapore.

During the month of Ramadan, there are many food stalls on the service road between the Railway Complex & CIQ. They look very tempting. Can consider buying a meal or two from there.
