Now I know why I haven't been able to lose weight... Just check out my blog and you would notice that 99% of the stuff that I've blogged are all about good food (I even have some "back-log" posts on food)!
Last Sat we crossed the borders over to Johor Bahru to buy some Chinese New Year stuff and tried out this awesome seafood restaurant called San Lou Seafood. Can you imagine it? About 9 dishes for 166RM?! SUPER CRAZY CHEAP!
Candid shot of the couple who brought us to so many places for good food!
This restaurant isn't very easy to find in my opinion..
80400 Johor, Taman Pelagi (open from 4pm to 1am)
But once you find it, it is definitely worth it! *not very far away, about 10-15mins away from Taman Sentosa.
Perhaps their most signature dish over there, San Lou Bee Hoon! Super nice! Not too dry and oily, and the "Wok Hei" is really omg~ =)
Luckily Jessie was craving for cockles if not we would probably not have ordered this plate of tasty delicious cockles! The cockles are cleaned very well (no sand etc.) and the sauce that is slightly spicy just makes it taste so good!
Cockles and La La = Super combo~ =) My photo did not do this dish justice though, the picture may make this dish seem to have very little "meat" but in actual fact, there was a lot of "meat" and you won't feel cheated like how some seafood restaurants tend to add in a lot of empty La La to make the portion look huge but with very little meat.
Perhaps this was the highlight of the dinner, Indonesia Prawns! MUST TRY X 99999!
The curry is so dam awesome that the the aroma stays in your mouth the whole time! And the prawns are so so fresh! the meat will NOT stick to the shell =)
Fried baby squid! Love this tasty little snack =) The meat isn't tough if you are worried that you may not be able to chew into it easily.
If you are looking for some tender juicy slices of pork, then you should try this 宫保山猪 "Wild Boar in Gong Bao sauce" *hopefully i didn't misinterpret the name of the dish LoLx! It is super tender and i think you can't find this in Singapore anywhere!
This veg has became me and wifey's favourite^^ Stir Fry Kai Lan! It is so crunchy and tasty ooooo~ what more can you ask for? LoLx
The following two dishes are perhaps the only ones that i would not recommend...
排骨王 ... This was disappointing. Despite it looking so delicious, the meat was a little bit "powdery" if you get what i mean.. It's definitely not the best or even most average 排骨王 that i've had before..
Usually this is my favourite, 油条 with 鱼肉... But this one here... really isn't very much to my liking.. it just taste... very very very normal... not worth it..
While the last 2 dishes were a little bit disappointing, San Lou Seafood is a place that i will definitely revisit if i ever cross the borders again! And because it closes around 1am, this is also a very nice place for having supper and chilling out! It's near the Woodlands Checkpoint as well, so you don't really have to be worried about travelling too far.
Check out our great bargains/buys over at JB =)
Be careful though, as CNY is around the corner, JB may not be a very safe place to travel.. and if you do want to go over there... please be very mindful of your valuables as you definitely do not want to fall prey to the thieves over there!
Sigh....
Now.. hafta restart my diet program all over again... 75kg by Apr 15, gogogo!
