The Sizzler (铁板神话) at Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru.

The Sizzler - 铁板神话 (N1.55269 E103.78461) is located along Jalan Mutiara Emas 10/19 of Taman Mount Austin - Johor Bahru, just below the Show Planet Karaoke. They serve Taiwanese Style Western Food (台式西餐） and we visited the restaurant was on a Thursday evening because of the Legendary Sizzling Pork...

The Sizzler

It was not corwded and the restaurant has a simple setup, the kitchen is an island in the middle of the restaurant...

Without second words, we placed our order :-
*  Sizzling 1K Pork (千里千寻猪)
*  Sizzling Crispy Chicken (美国轰炸鸡)

The foods served on the table less than 15 minutes...Fast!

Sizzling 1K Pork (千里千寻猪)

The package serve on the sizzling plate with pasta, egg and some vegetbles. We can choose one of the 2 types sauces for the pasta, so we decided butter sauce for the Sizzling Pork and mushroom sauce for the Crispy Chicken.

Sizzling Crispy Chicken (美国轰炸鸡)

Mushroom sauce pasta, egg and vegetables same package with the Crispy Chicken

The portion was big for each person, the pork was well marinated and succulent! We like the taste very much! As far as I know, this is the Only restaurant serve this meal for the moment around Johor Bahru. It was a surprise for us! Delicious!
For pork lover, you shouldn't miss this!

The succulent Sizzling 1K Pork

The Sizzling Crispy Chicken taste above average, the chicken was moist enough and not too dry! It was Crispy excatly same as the name of the dish. Admired the way they control the heat...Nice!

 Nice Sizzling Crispy Chicken

The portion was really more than enough for a person, we overloaded again! We satisfied with the foods here and The Damage : Sizzling 1K Pork - RM23.90 and Sizzling Crispy Chicken - RM19.90. Reasonable price and if possible improve to a better grade pork that will make the dish more Delicious and valueable! Just a suggestion. :)
Both pastas were average and after the meals, everyone is offer with ice-cream on the house...

Beside these 2 dishes, they do serve steak, lamb, salmon and Germen sausage too!

My tip : It's advise Not to visit on crowded weekend because of...1) It might get very oily because of the kitchen is close to the dining table, 2) Food quality might not as good as week day due to the crowded situation...at least for the moment. Well, these are just my 'personal suggestions' with no obligation and still...your choice to decide it.

We will visit again in the future for other dishes!

Mei Zhong Yuen Confectionery Shop at Jonker Street, Malacca

Mei Zhong Yuen Confectionery Shop (N2.197598 E102.24559) is located along Jonker Street of Malacca. Visited the shop after our lunch from Hainan Association just 2 doors away...

For me, this is one of the hidden gem in Jonker street!
They sell many type of biscuits which are delicious and where they got the name as "Melaka Famous Traditional Homemade Biscuit". Especially if you looking for the Taiwan Famous Sun biscuit (太阳饼), you can get it here! I never come across any others shop in Malaysia selling it!

Mei Zhong Yuen Confectionery Shop

There were full variety of biscuits display in front of the shop...I was attracted by it...

Biscuits from Mei Zhong Yuen

If all of the above are not suitable to you, please step inside...there are many and many different biscuits within the shop...sure you can find what are you looking for...:)

Mr Low (owner of the shop) generously let us try their Premium Product - Lotus biscuit and we were allow to take back all the Sun biscuits that he prepared from the Hainan Association...Thanks!

Lotus Biscuits from Mei Zhong Yuen

Then Mr Low brought out the Sun Biscuits just from the oven!

Mei Zhong Yuen Premium product - Sun Biscuit (太阳饼)

Single red dot are Durian flavor and double red dot are coffee flavor. The Sun Biscuit was really melt in my mouth! I believe the quality is equally good compare with the Taiwan Sun Biscuit.

Our group fully filled up the shop...everyone was busy tasting the biscuits and many of them grab few packs of their Premium products of Mei Zhong Yuen.

Big bags...small bags...everywhere...

Another selling point of the confectionery shop is...they prepare and bake the biscuit on the spot! Well, if you have free time, you can just stand and watch the making of the Lotus biscuit...

One of the staff preparing the dual flavor Lotus Biscuits

If you haven't try out the biscuit from Mei Zhong Yuen, don't wait! Just drop by the shop which is next to Hainan Association along Jonker Street and taste the Famous biscuits of the town!

After this session, we decided not to follow the group to Farmosa photography session. This was our last stop for the 'A Date With Bloggers' event, because we planed to have the Melaka Coconut Shake at Klebang! :)

Thanks everyone who participated in the event! See You!

Xian Ding Wei Taiwanese Tea House at Auto City Juru, Butterworth.

Had our Chinese New Year dinner (2012) at this Xian Ding Wei Taiwanese Restaurant (N5.33822 E100.42877) at Juru Auto City few months ago. The restaurant is spacious and comfort with 2 storey which located next to Standard And Chartered Bank Juru Auto City.

I like the environment which was quiet and cozy, especially the friendly staffs of the restaurant...we ordered their recommendation...the Fatt Choy Special package (for 4 persons) that offered during the CNY period.

The package included...

*  Fried Fish Fillet in Sweet & Sour Sauce (糖醋五柳鱼)

*  Prawns in Sweet Fermented Rice Wine (酒酿干烧鲜虾)

*  Taiwanese Supreme Chicken in 3 Varieties of Sauce (三杯鸡)

*  Braised Pork Knuckle with Slice Bamboo Shoot (竹笋猪脚)

*  Stir Fried French Bean with Minced Pork (干扁四季豆)

And I added my Favorite :- *  Xiao Long Bao (Dumpling) (小龙包)

Fried Fish Fillet in Sweet & Sour Sauce (糖醋五柳鱼)

Prawns in Sweet Fermented Rice Wine (酒酿干烧鲜虾)

Taiwanese Supreme Chicken in 3 Varieties of Sauce (三杯鸡)

Braised Pork Knuckle with Slice Bamboo Shoot (竹笋猪脚)

Stir Fried French Bean with Minced Pork (干扁四季豆)

Xiao Long Bao (Dumpling) (小龙包)

All dishes tasted above average.
The Xiao Long Bao was not as good as 'Ding Tai Feng' that I had it before, but it's alright...Most of the taste of dishes above seem like localized to suite the customers around the area... unlike the Authentic Taiwanese food we had it at Taiwan.

We also had the Mango Snowflake and Green Tea Snowflake for dessert after the dinner....those different and special snowflake we ever try in Malaysia! Nice!

Mango Snowflake

Green Tea Snowflake

The Damage : RM252.00 for 4 adults and 1 kid including A Pot of Pu Er Tea. It was justify with the restaurant environment and the foods they served.
Not bad anyway...

Goose Noodles Stall at Xin Men Ding (西門町), Taipei - Taiwan

We had our 6th day dinner at Xi Men Ding (西門町) Taipei. Well, I still prefer to try the Goose noodle again which I tasted 4 years ago. All of my friends agreed.

The stall is located at one of the alley which you can walk from the Xi Men Ding Square towards the main road. Apologies because I forgot to take down the GPS Coordinates, but you can base on the address below to find it - 27 alley of ChengDu Road.

Goose noodle stall at Xi Men Ding

The shop is always crowded because of limited tables...
Once we had our table, the order was placed immediately! Even there were many customers around the shop, the noodles were served less than 15 minutes.

The crowded Goose noodle shop at Xi Men Ding

The meats and the soup were still delicious as before, but the noodles seems not as tender as before. Anyway, it was still a Tasty dinner for us. I forgot how much it cost in TWD, it was about MYR5.00 after conversion.
The customers were continue walk in to the shop non-stop, and they will stand beside our table before we leave...

Anyway, if you ever try the Goose Noodle before, please give a try! You might like it! :)
