Fish Dishes @ Rujia Chinese Restaurant, Skudai

I enjoy eating fresh fish dishes. In Chinese cooking, there are many ways to cook fish.I enjoy eating steam fish. Today, we going to try different SiChuan （四川）fish cooking methods.

**Sichuan Radish Pickles 萝卜皮 as appetizer**

Homemade SiChuan radish pickles is seldom found in Malaysia. Local radish is washed and dried . Then it is soaked in special salted water with some chilies. Don’t be intimidated by red chilies. It is not that spicy. Instead, it is very crunchy. For me, this is very suitable to eat with white porridge.

We like to try some dumpling with different flavours. The green dumpling is garlic chives flavour 韭菜, while famous for its pungent smell.My family members also prefer this green dumpling.
On the other hand, the white dumpling is Chinese cabbage pickle flavour. Chinese cabbage is sour in taste but once mixed with pork mince and shrimp, it is fabulous. Thick dumpling skin is used to trap down the pork paste savourly taste.

Home Secret Braised Pork 私房红烧肉 RM28.00 — **Family Secret Braised Pork 私房红烧肉 RM28.00**

Big chunks of pork belly are braised with the soy sauce and own homemade sauce. It is sweet,but not greasy at all.

We had tried 3 type of fish cuisine. “Tok chilies” is a cuisine name created by Mr. Ang. We were not sure what is the English word for “Tuo Jiao”. Why not have some local name for it? Tok chilies is one of the method to process the chilies. Fresh red chilies are washed and chopped. Then, the chopped chilies are drained and dehydrated. Next, the chopped chilies are made into pickle which remained the redness of chilies. I love this dish as it is sourly and spicy. It must be eat while hot as the sourly and spicy taste will be at its climax to suit with the steam fish.

According to Baidu encyclopedia, Zhuge 诸葛亮 is one of the smartest military general in Chinese History. Zhuge grilled fish was one of his favourite dish. Firstly, grill the fresh fish into golden brown. Secondly, prepare a special rectangular hot pot. Thirdly, fill in the hot pot with seasonal fresh vegetables. Fourthly, place the grilled fish in the hot pot. Finally, pour mala based soup into the hot pot & let it boil. SiChuan is added to give numbness sensation to diners’ tongues.

The fresh fish is firstly grilled till golden brown. Secondly, prepare a special rectangle hot pot q and filled up with seasonal fresh vegetable. Placed the grilled fish in the pot. Then the mala 麻辣 based soup is poured into the hot pot and boil。 This dish has a unique pungency and spicy taste. SiChuan pepper is added to give a numbness kick to diners tongue.

Fresh seasonal vegetables such as lady fingers, mushrooms, potatoes and tofu are added to give this dish some nutrients. That was the reason ZhuGe was extremely smart.

Deep fried fish in sweet and sour sauce is very suitable for kid. The chef has removed all the fish bone and sliced the meat into check-box. When, the sliced fish is fried in oil, the fish will present itself in check box shape. That is how squirrel fish name come about.

**Steam lady finger with garlic RM8.00**

9 July 2016

The familiar spiral staircase is at the side of the building.

With the gentle breeze on my face, Mr.Ang held my hands as we walk down little Paris street. The exterior design of the building are white in colour. The familiar spiral staircase leads you to the unknown second-floor cafe. White and sleek design captured my woman inner feeling. Wait a minute.. I can’t take leave and fly to Paris and enjoy all this detail.

Welcome to Little Paris @ Johor Bahru. A new hipster area for family, friends or Instagrammers to hang out. Ladies love to do their outfit post of the day (#OOTD) against this area. Not to mention, there are a big love shape sculpture and the status of liberty are good prop to take photos. Along the street, there are a few cafes, restaurants and ice cream shop to curb your hunger. It is great to get to know Mr. Ken, the owner of this street developed this area for hanging out. He invited some bloggers and us to try out his new menu in Garden Ritz.

Al-fresco style seating under shady trees.

Garden Ritz is located outdoor. Diners enjoy their meals at tables set out al-fresco style. There are a number of shady trees along it. Thus, the temperature and breeze are most favourable. Time to tuck in for some BBQ food.

Signature Seafood Paella RM88.00. The portion can serve 2 to 4 diners. The paella consists of 3 big chicken drumsticks, prawns, squids and mussel clam. The rice is creamy with a slight of spiciness.

Signature Meat Platter RM198.00. An array of meat foe meat lovers. Chicken, lamb, pork, beef rib, fried calamari, sausages ad curly fried. Salad, grapes and watermelon to balance off the taste. — Signature Meat Platter RM198.00. An array of meat for meat lovers. Chicken, lamb, pork, beef rib, fried calamari, sausages ad curly fried.

BBQ Baby pork Rib RM45.00. The chef maintained the Argentina BBQ style for these rib. The chef used 100% charcoal to cook it. If you have tasted Morganfield's or Naught Nuri pork rib before, Do not expect the same taste. Argentina BBQ is totally opposite cooking style. No additional cooking processses shuch as steam or boil to retain the juicyness. The BBQ style itself retained the meat tender texture and juiciness. We can easily tear off the meat from the bone. — BBQ Baby pork Rib RM45.00. The chef maintained the Argentina BBQ style for these ribs. The chef used 100% charcoal to cook it.

Restaurant Foon Lock @ Bentong, Pahang

May 24, 2015May 24, 2015 by LerLer Chan

23 May 2015

My parent are impromptu travelers. They have the urge to try some Kampunng Bukit Tinggi dishes. Thus, they drive from Johor Bahru to brother’s hostel. After fetching my brother, they drive to Genting Skyway to fetch us ( Mr. Ang and Mrs. Ang aka LerLer Chan) . The more the merrier. It will be more easier to order food with more diners. That is the our family traits. We will drive a distance for food.

This drink is very refreshing during hot weather

A bottle (500ml) passion fruit juice is RM5.00. The restaurant does not allow outside food. Thus, dad order in house juice.

Patin fish usually has earthly smell. This dish does not has earthly smell. The fish has lot of fat.

Kampung chicken dish used the thigh portion. The meat is very tender soft. Bentong has the best ginger. The ginger really smell good with steam chicken. Mother can’t help praising this dish non-stop.

Total Expenses: RM165.05
