Chai Jia Chai 蔡家菜

发现新大陆，爱吃的食客们看过来，这里有好吃的美味家庭式小炒哦！蔡家菜位于Taman Johor Jaya Rosmerah，先踏入店内就受到了情切友善老板娘的款待。点了一些小菜后，就来杯解热的罗汉果水吧。罗汉果的味道很浓，我非常喜欢 (❤ ω ❤)

没过多久，就上菜了。先来这道塞到满满肉的豆腐 - 咸鱼肉酿豆干。他不像大多数的酿豆腐，鱼肉馅料一小块的从豆腐上凸起。来到蔡加菜，这是一道必点的食物 万勿错过哦！咸鱼味拿捏的刚刚好，但又不过火，没有掩盖肉香 反而衬托了彼此的优点。

五香肉卷就普普通通，属于比较细幼的那种 所以可以当作 一口吃。没有出位的表现，但也不输一般的肉卷。

清炒的青菜可以从酱汁表面看出，他们其实没有用很多油 只是在上面撒上了少许的爆香蒜米和油。我估计应该是他们先用水烫熟了菜，才把酱淋下去。非常健康，少油少盐的一道菜。

一桌的小菜，再配上这碗香喷喷的芋头饭就是完美了！饭非常的香，也吃的到虾米和芋头颗粒 真是货真价实。

Price: 8.0/10
Service: 8.0/10
Conclusion: 大家一定要尝尝蔡家的菜哦，而且非常经济实惠。这一顿晚餐只不过花费了RM25, 是非常值得！除了今天为大家介绍的，蔡也有几道必点招牌菜如 鱼肉蒸河粉，胡椒榨菜猪肚汤等等。。。

Ampang Yong Tau Foo 安邦酿豆腐 (Kempas Utama)

作为本地美食之一，酿豆腐原至于客家人 是一个非常受本地人欢迎的桌上佳肴。酿豆腐食材很多样化，用了豆腐和不同蔬菜作为主料 以清汤为汤底 及健康又美味。

位于Kempas Utama新区的这家新开张安邦酿豆腐 原本在Johor Jaya营业，现在已经搬迁到这里了。爱吃酿豆腐的朋友们，现在又有多一个选择咯！

 酿豆腐的种类繁多，通常都是用豆腐和蔬菜例如茄子，辣椒，苦瓜，洋角豆等等制成。JB Foodie今天只不过点了豆腐和茄子，因为不是很爱吃辣椒和苦瓜 所以无法品尝及推荐。这清甜的汤底是用鱼骨，白萝卜及黄豆熬成 - 本人非常的喜欢。

吃酿豆腐，哪可以少了这些炸料？这里有炸腐竹圈和豆卜，有些食客爱直接沾酱吃，也有些爱把炸品直接放入汤里浸泡 吸收了汤汁 别有另一番风味 纯粹个人喜好。炸腐竹圈里的馅料非常有嚼劲 来到这里是其中一道必点的食物。

炸腐竹圈 QQ有弹性的内陷。万勿错过哦！

还有 这个炸鸡块。这道就稍微逊色了点，因为本人觉得肉腌制的太咸 而且肉质也比较干。

吃酿豆腐另一个不可或缺的东西就是这甜酱和辣椒酱了。对店家们来说，这也是他们其中的一个秘密武器。千万雄兵 少了这秘密武器 也难有什么作为。

Price: 7.0/10
Service: 7.5/10
Conclusion: 这儿的酿豆腐材料和酱料都很新鲜，价格也不贵。至今Setia Tropika的住户们晚上也缺乏一些用餐的选择，所以可以到对面的新区Kempas Utama 安邦酿豆腐吃吃看。

Da.Men Hotpot Steamboat 大门港式火锅

各位食客们，今天要为您介绍的就是大门港式火锅！至今有2家分店的大门，在新山东西两段都驻扎了旗帜。第一家店是在华裔聚集区，非常旺的五福城 Taman Sutera Utama. 最新开的是在新山的新金融区-Taman Molek. 那么巧，大门火锅就开在新山驰名的火锅店 - 好一家(好好)火锅店隔壁！看来他们是要对上了，来较量一下谁的顾客比较多。

我今天是买了Groupon才来的，2人份套餐只需要RM32，4人套餐就是RM68. 还挺划算的，所以就来试一试咯。希望可以得到一些惊喜！好期待。。。

这就是2人套餐，里头包涵了水饺，肉丸，香菇，鱼面，青菜，伊面 等等。。。

放大仔细瞧瞧碟里的材料。。

还有还有，碟中海鲜。有2只大大的虾，淡菜，花枝，墨鱼和鱼片。

海鲜分量还算可以。。如果可以给多点就好。呵呵呵！

虾子看上去又大又新鲜，待会儿要记得别烫过熟。

这就是一桌2人的晚餐咯！是时候把他们都丢入热水沸腾的火锅里了。

开盖咯！！！5分钟后，就是一锅全熟的火锅料理。。。什么都有。

满满的火锅 看上去是不是很诱人呢？我要开动了

现在火锅店都必备的其中一个材料 - 鱼面。

还没开始送入口中前，记得搭上一些自行调配，喜爱的酱料。本人就爱鸡饭辣椒配上爆香的蒜米和葱。。口感层次多 带有些许的蒜香。

Price: 7.0/10
Service: 6.5/10
Conclusion: 我不是很喜欢他们的汤头，因为猪骨味过于浓郁了 还是比较喜欢清单点的。食材方面，绝大部分都是一些可以在超市买到的东西 所以吃上去没什么惊喜。值得一提是大门的酱料，可以供食客们任意搭配 而且很新鲜 鸡饭辣椒也很棒。

Alam Seafood Restaurant 蓝海湾海鲜村

今天JB Foodie很荣幸可以和OKGO WS玩家地图一起合作，来到位于新山Taman Perling土族村的【蓝海湾海鲜餐馆】享用一顿丰盛的海鲜大餐。这还是我第一次来这家餐馆，平日都去观顾Orang Asli阿士里。这里的停车位很多，停车场也非常宽敞，不需要收费而且还有保安人员帮你顾车子。比起阿士里窄小的停车空间，有时候还找不到位子又要缴付停车费。。这里果然理想了！

Restaurant Kin Hua 锦华茶餐室

This post on Kin Hua is definitely a late one, something which I have been wanting to write an article on, but never gotten the chance to do so. So I took this opportunity over the long weekend to start my heritage trail within Johor Bahru "old city". First stop, Restaurant Kin Hua. It has been around probably before me and my parents, operating at a corner shop by the junction of Jalan Trus and Jalan Tan Hiok Nee. Day in day out, it has attracted throngs of customers from within the town and tourists.

Restoran Zheng Zhong 正宗粿条仔

After a long hiatus from blogging and providing the latest food eateries to spring up all over Johor Bahru, I have finally made a comeback again. Not sure if its a welcomed move but I just felt something has to be done to keep this blog alive, rather than leaving it to rot after abandoning it for more than 6 months.

Yesterday, I went to check out a new Kuey Tiao Kia (short form KTK aka 淉条仔) stall at Taman Gaya. This is a delicacy that is not available elsewhere, and even unheard of in other parts of Malaysia and that's why one MUST make it a point to drop by and visit a KTK stall when setting foot in Johor Bahru. KTK consists mainly of braised meat, innards, eggs, tau kee, beancurd etc coupled with a bowl of hot steaming kuey tiao soup. The chilli paste is of utmost importance too, just like how sambal is to nasi lemak. They play a complimentary role to each other.

Let's start off with the facade of the Restoran Zheng Zhong, nothing fanciful and just another shop you will easily pass by without giving it a 2nd glance (except for the signage highlighting it had starred in a popular local foodie program - Ho Chak).

Check out the bowl of deep-fried tau kees and meat balls soaked in the herbal soup. Patience is a virtue in this case, waiting for the crispy tau kees to get that texture (50% crisp - 50% soggy) before dipping it in the chilli sauce. Woooooooo UMAMI !

Braised egg and beancurd. Nothing special about the egg but the toufu is worth mentioning with its silky smooth texture. If you fancy a savory sauce of a thick consistency, then this is for you. Remember to drench the toufu or eggs with a good portion of the gravy.

Don't forget to order the braised pork and collagenous pork cheek skin too !

That's all I need for a simple, hearty meal. Plates of braised side dishes with a bowl of hot herbal kuey tiao soup, on a windy night ... S H I O K !

 

Price: 7.0/10
Service: 7.0/10
Conclusion: An inexpensive KTK outlet with a wide, delectable selections of braised products, garner a spot within my heart.

The Grand GEM (Grand Bluewave Hotel)

I have been contacted via Facebook by the marketing exec of The Grand Gem Restaurant, Ms An Lionel for the special invitation to drop by for a visit. I truly appreciate this opportunity granted by An and would at the same time, like to offer my apology for this dated article due to my tight schedule.

Let's get things rolling then ... the entrance to The Grand Gem Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel. For anybody who is not aware of this, the hotel is conveniently located next to the new Custom, Immigration & Quarantine (CIQ) complex and is only within 5 minutes driving distance. A convenient choice for Singaporeans looking to go back across the causeway in the shortest possible time, avoiding the frequent traffic jams around town.

Restaurant Chua Kee 蔡记海鲜

Last update: 11/04/2015

This is the place we stopped by for a quick lunch en-route to Kota Iskandar and Puteri Harbour in Nusajaya. Reviews from the web on seafood restaurants in Gelang Patah is far and few but I've managed to list out a few. Initially, we wanted to go for Restaurant Tian Lai which is a few metres further down the road but couldn't manage to secure a parking slot, so we did a U-turn and head to Chua Kee instead.

Just to side-track abit and fill you up on my itinerary. A visit to Puteri Harbour and the yachts in the background ...

一笼厨艺 千里香传 鼎太蘴 (曼谷)

源自台湾的其中一个著名美食招牌 鼎太蘴，各地应该都有不少的拥护者吧。。遍布东南亚各国，新加坡，马来西亚，印尼，泰国等等都设有分店，可说已经一步一步迈向国际化了。我这位住在市区的乡巴佬，却只听闻可从来没吃过,每次都听朋友们说有多么的好吃。
这次的曼谷之旅，碰巧在曼谷Central World闲逛时，碰上了鼎，相见不如偶遇，修改了原定的晚餐地点，就决定在此解决。 因为是过了用餐繁忙时段，我们也不需要排队就马上有位子了。环境挺不错，餐厅内依然客满，可想而知他们家的生意有多么好！

我知道很多朋友们都摸不着头脑，觉得我为什么要大老远到曼谷吃鼎太蘴？遍地都是当地美食，要吃不如回到马国或去台湾。现在就此澄清，只是有人看我可怜没吃过鼎的小笼包，要请我大餐，所以我就恭敬不如从命咯。呵呵呵！

Kuang Seafood Bangkok 光海鲜(曼谷)

光海鲜是这次我们曼谷行里，其中一项必到的景点。在网路上翻查了很多讯息，也看了不少照片，觉得就算离市中心远了点，还需要特地搭地铁，要走点路也在所不惜。其实是走了很长的一段路哦，大约花了我们最少15分钟。一下机放了行李在酒店，就拖着疲惫的身体，往前冲直达目的地。那种渴望满足食欲的毅力，是无比的强烈。

要找到光，其实说容易也没那么简单，说不容易也不难，我们就是凭着一份信念，一路往前走。首先要搭地铁至Huai Khwang MRT，然后由2号出口左转直走15分钟。看似简单，不过当你走了一段路后，就会不停质疑是否错过了或往不同的方向迈进？

记得。。要保持信念哦！相信自己是对的！！
