Rojak @ JB

Rojak @ JB

wahah...ok normally after our usual bak kut teh in JB, we will head to pelangi shopping mall to get our favourite fruit rojak...

uncle sells his rojak from a little stall on his bike...it is interesting to see how he prepares the fruit rojaks: laying the bottom of the styrofoam box with pieces of you tiao, skilfully slicing out small pieces from the cucumber, turnip (opss just edited..called it radish earlier on..hahha!) and mango, chopping up the lembu and pineapple slice...and finally....using a big wooden spoon, dipping into the sticky paste and brushing the paste across the fruits, ending with peanut bits topping...

if you are not eating the rojak right away, uncle will provide the paste in a small packet, which you can later pour onto the rojak...

ok what is so nice abt this rojak is the paste, i haven't come across a paste that can fight uncle's. his paste is more sticky than watery...when mixed with the fruits it seems to blend well into the fruits and tasted so heavenly. further, the fact that uncle uses a variety of fruits besides the usual turnip, you tiao and pineapple, you won't get sick of the rojak so fast. if you can't really eat spicy stuff, don't take the spicy paste though...if you can, you can even request for his hotter paste...oh, and it is only RM3.50...

    Gonbei Fine Japanese Cuisine

    Is diagonally opposite Jogoya. Supposedly the quality is better than Jogoya. Price wise, if we convert currency, then Malaysia is cheaper. If we do not convert currency, then Singapore is cheaper. Generally, a japanese buffet in Siingapore is around SGD30+ range.

    I'm not sure exactly where the original Leong Kee moved to, but I believe the one at Sultan Gate is still there. I also saw one at junction of Jln Besar and Hindoo road. Just at the junction before beancurd city

    Leong Kee (Klang) Bak Kut Teh 梁记(巴生) 肉骨茶 @ Geylang
    CyberTron commented..
    hi! The bak kut teh at this place is Klang style. If you refering to the peppery style Bak Kut Teh you typically find in Singapore, then this is not the place for you. For the peppery style one, the famous ones are probably ones are Balestier Road or the one at Tanjong Pagar complex. For me, I usually just go to Song Fa at Rochor which is decent for me, and more convenient as well.

    I don't remember if i'd ever come across cheap and nice seafood in KL...I suggest you to plan a trip to Sabah, that's really what I call heaven for seafood lovers. ;-)
