A Visit to Perfect Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd - Julie's Biscuit at Alor Gajah, Malacca (Melaka)

Perfect Food Manaufacturing Sdn Bhd (N2.36244 E102.20550) is located at Industrial area of Alor Gajah, Melaka and it's the factory manufactiring the Famous Julie's Biscuit in Malaysia and others country. This was our firts stop at Malacca on the 'A Date With Bloggers' event. Julie's Biscuit was also the Major Sponsor of the event.

The History of Perfect Food :-
"Perfect Food was established in 1981 in Alor Gajah, Melaka. The factory back then was small, operating a single oven line. In early 1984, two brothers, Sai Ah Sai and Sai Chin Hock, were invited to take over the factory as major shareholders. Sai Chin Hock's vision played an important role in the development of the company. He purchased a second oven line in 1989, a third in 1991 and a fourth in 2004.

In the first few years of Perfect Food's operations, it sold biscuits with no brand name other than the company's own. Then in 1987, Perfect Food began to market its biscuits under the brand name "Julie's". Source from here."

Once we enter the premises, we were bought to the conference room for the company profile and factory introduction. After about 45 minutes, everyone started to wear like a 'doctor' and we were stand-by for the factory production tour.

All bloggers get ready for the production tour...

It was a educated and exciting tour by their friendly staffs. Too bad there was NO camera allow in the production area. We were introduced and explained by the professional staffs from the very beginning until the end where Julie's Biscuit - Peanut Butter Sandwich in the finish pack. Me and my friend - Robin were attracted by the Nice aroma of the tiny crunchy biscuits rolling on the conveyer...it was so tempted to grab one and bite it, but...we didnt't...:)

The tour took about 45-60 minutes, then all of us being directed to their air-condition Cafe for buffet lunch. I guess everyone was hungry by looking at the food tray on the table...:)

The buntings are easily spotted at all the sponsors!

I got to know many bloggers in person and some surprise between when I met ECL Tan, beside that...I met one of my long lost friend too! :)

Basically the activities for these 2 days are walk, eat, photography and getting souvenirs. Every cafe or restaurant that in our food tour were given some souvenirs and food sample to all participants after the food tasting session, there are really alot! Thanks!

The common scene in the days Malacca trip as below :-

The common scene where everyone busy taking photos once the food is on the table...

I have Only one comment about the event...it should have a 'Ice breaking' session for everyone to introduce themselves. And also a chit-chat session where everyone can get to know each other better...but look at the tight schedule, I doubt. Hopefully in the near future, if the organizers continue with the similar event...please squeeze the session in the schedule.

Anyway, it was a Fantastic 2 days 1 night trip for us, and we are looking forward to meet all the wonderful bloggers again!

Ah Seng Restaurant at Taman Sri Tebrau, Johor Bahru.

Ah Seng Restauarnt (N1.48779 E103.77475) is well known by the 'Fish' at Johor Bahru area. Normally the restaurant is pack with customers and worst during lunch time...

The shop is a corner lot and located at almost the end of Jalan Keris of Taman Sri Tebrau, Johor Bahru.

Ah Seng Restaurant at Taman Sri Tebrau

We visited the restaurant just after the lunch hour and the place was not crowded as usual...they have few standard dishes where it serve on lightning speed! Therefore, we just ordered whatever are easy and fast.

Well, definitely cannot miss the fish here! We ordered the deep fried fish and another steam fish...beside that, we also had the pork knuckles and the stir fried bitter gourd. All of these are the standard dishes serve by the restaurant...

The deep fried fish from Ah Seng Restaurant

The steam fish

The Pork Knuckles

The bitter gourd

Even the restaurant was occupied about 70% with customers, all our order served on table in less than 10 minutes! Impressed!

Among the 2 types of fish, we preferred the Deep Fried Type with the Thai sauce! The steam fish was nice but not as tasty as the fried type. The pork knuckles was nicely braised and tender, and the bitter gourd was average. We did ordered another deep fried fish after the first fish finish....
They price is Very Reasonable, the fish they only charge RM15.00 each. That's the reason why the restaurant is Always crowded! :)

I am one of the frequent patron of the restaurant, do you?
