D'Shanghai at Sutera Mall (Johor Bahru)

11 Nov 2016

Today became a Johor outing lol. RJ, Ser and I went to Sutera Mall for KTV...

and dim sum at D'Shanghai! I like D'Shanghai alot because it's got pretty good quality dim sum at reasonable prices.

We ordered the rice wine xiao long baos (xlb), Shanghai dumplings in with some vinegar (something like hong you chao should without the spiciness: hycsws), sambal fried rice rolls, Fried Fen Pi and the usual dim sum. I ate almost 3 baskets of the rice wine xlb because I liked it so!

Rice Wine Xlb. You Good! 

I probably am biased since I like the rice wine taste. Just my own opinion, I think rice wine and xlb combination works much better than say foie gras, cheese, truffle xlbs.

The HYCSWS

This Shanghai Fried Fen Pi is good. It looks abit suspicious because of the translucent looking 'Kway Teow', but I was pleasantly surprised by the Wok Hei-ness of this dish. It was tasty, but should be eaten up while warm because it turns slightly rubbery when cold. 

Sambal Fried Rice Rolls with Egg. Not bad! Thumbs up to the chef doing the frying pls.

The porridge was rather thick and quite nice. Ser liked it alot.

I didn't take a picture but the prawn dumplings (har kow) were good, the skin was thin and prawns were fresh. 

The service here was really good too, plus points!! ^^

Superb Kway Teow Soup at Ah Hua Kway Teow Soup - Johor Bahru

Ah Hua Kway Teow along Jalan Segget (Johor Bahru) serves fantastic old school Kway Teow Tng (Kway Teow Soup). It is my current favourite and will stay as one of my favourites in years to come. When I grow older, I might regal people with tales of Ah Hua Kway Teow and how good it was.

Ah Hua Kway Teow has been operating at Jalan Segget in Restoran Sekee for years. It is walkable distance from JB's City Square Mall and situated in a rather quiet corner beside a roast duck shop which has a banner declaring they are Dian Xiao Er's consultant.

Back to Ah Hua Kway Teow Tng. Its pork bone soup is cooked over charcoal (you can see the fire burning from the picture above), and each bowl is freshly cooked. The waiting time is indeed pretty long, but it's worth it. Every bowl remains consistent, every time I visit... Ah first up, my Kway Teow Ta (Dry).

Did I ever share that I found Msia's kway teow much nicer than Sg's? I also don't know why. The kway teow here is just different. It's white, soft and smooth and I love it.

The kway teow dry is served with some tomato sauce and chilli. It comes with a nice bowl of soup and you can specify your choice of meat/organs to be added in it. For me, liver, pork, kidney, always. ALWAYS. The kidney here, fresh, not too grainy or mushy. Very well cooked. The liver, slightly crunchy. Superb kidney and liver guys.

And if you want the full works, for RM 16, you get a bowl of everything, fish maw, oysters and a whole load of happiness.

The oysters, get the oysters. Ah Hua's oysters, really can get. They are small but fresh. And when you dip them into the chilli sauce and eat them with the parsley, you will feel... Happy.

Ok, I want to go take taxi to woodlands check point already.
