Looking for Malay places?

Although the location is a bit hidden from the main streets of JB, but this place is constantly packed with people during lunch peak hours.

Only one item available on the menu, it is their signature soy sauce chicken that grilled perfectly before serving to your plate of rice. Accompanied by some veggies.

Queue is usually formed outside the shop, with everyone waiting patiently for the table availability. The wait is totally worth it for a piece of juicy grilled chicken.

Although they would get your order at your table and serve the chicken rice to you. But you have to self-service with the soy sauce, chilli sauce and soup from the counter inside the shop.

So next time you are here in JB, perhaps this is a good chance to try something the locals like.

Mee Rebus Biasa (RM 8.90) consists of blanched yellow noodles served with delicious thick gravy, a boiled egg on the side, garnished with fried onion, green chili, Chinese parsley, crispy keropok, and lime. The gravy amazed me once again – thick, savoury, and sweet, with the fritters adding a lovely texture to the dish. The Burpple Beyond deal for a complimentary Mee Rebus dish is still valid, but communication about the deal might be a bit challenging due to limited English proficiency.

This time, I also ordered their Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng (RM 11.90), a traditional dish that caught my eye during my previous visit. I'm glad I tried it – a yummylicious plate of fragrant fluffy coconut rice, hard-boiled egg, savoury crunchy fried peanuts and anchovies, sliced cucumber, and a generous serving of special-made sambal tumis, accompanied by a freshly fried chicken on the side. The coconut rice was fragrant, and the sambal tumis wins my heart with its deep, spicy, sweet, and savoury flavours. The fried chicken, although a bit greasy, had tender and flavourful meat.

After having such a fantastic meal here the first time, I'm back to feast on their Mee Rebus again. It's just that amazing.

I am back here again in less than a month. This is now my go-to place for BBQ seafood in JB. Tried the salted egg prawns previously and I loved it. Now I am having it together with squid to have the best of both in a dish. The grilled prawns were still as good and the sotong was cooked just right, chewy but not rubbery.

After having so much seafood on the table, it's good to have some greens to go along. I like how my greens are even grilled over banana leaf which gives an additional smoky and earthy flavour 》RM10

This is one of the popular BBQ restaurants in JB where it gets really crowded on weekends (not sure about weekdays). I placed my orders at 9:30pm and waited for 1.5 hours for my food. They serve up a wide variety of fish, seafood and vegetables. Choices of fish range from groupers, pomfret, sea bass and stingrays. Other choices of seafood include crayfish, flower crab, clams, prawns, squid and otah. There is no menu over here. Ordering works by choosing our choice of seafood followed by how we want it to be cooked. Some recommended dishes shown on the wall are sambal sotong, white pepper crab, scallion broiled fish, sambal noodles, Portuguese fish, sambal stingray, salt-grilled crayfish and ginger scallion lala.

The salted egg prawns are nicely grilled and pair well with the creamy and savoury salted egg sauce. The ginger scallion lala was fragrant, slightly salty and paired better with rice. The salt-grilled crayfish was my favourite and I regretted not ordering more. It was plump and juicy while retaining the natural sweetness of the flesh. Very fresh and sweet. I also had the sambal stingray that came in a generous portion. The fish was fresh, moist and meaty and the sambal used was a little different but it tasted so good and spicy.

终于找到面包台了，它被摆在一个没空调，不显眼的角落。今天的早餐算完美了！

炸好的鸡翅膀淋上韩味辣椒酱，再撒上黑白芝麻。
味道是脆，辣， 甜，喜次! 如果鸡翅尾端能切掉，
一口就能咬到多汁的中翅, 会更好!

南瓜香甜，对于午餐不想吃太饱的女士们是一个很好的选择。

Inside Four Points Hotel, probably the most modern building in Desaru Utama (centre of Desaru). It is another option for food if you're tired of the food in your beach hotel. Quiet during lunch. My Penang Feid Kway Teow is quite authentic. This is Malaysia after all.
