Muar Assam Fish (林记蔴坡巴东亚叁鱼) at Restaurant KK, Taman Johor Jaya, Johor Bahru.

Restuarant KK (林记蔴坡巴东亚叁鱼) (N1.53038 E103.79861) is located along Jalan Rosmerah 3/1 of Taman Johor Jaya, the street is easy to find if you know the T-junction in front of Public Bank at Rosmerah area. The restaurant is similar to the normal Chinese restaurant without any grand deco or renovation...


We visited the restaurant for our dinner and our orders...
*  The Muar Assam Fish
*  Steam clams
*  Dragon tougue (type of fish)
*  Fried eggs (it has a unique Chinese name - )
*  Vegetables

Muar Assam Fish

Steam clams

Dragon tougue (fish)

Fried eggs (炸蛋)

Vegetables

The Assam Fish was Delicious! Taste similar with my favorite restaurant at Muar - Merlin Restaurant which is spicy and sour enough! The clams were fresh and others dishes taste above average! The owner of the restaurant was friendly and he serve us one of the new dish for free! Which I forgot to photograph...

The total Damage : RM119.00 for 4 adults and 4 children included drinks. Reasonable price!

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from 10am-10pm. Close on Thursday two weeks once. It's crowded during weekday lunch and dinner time...Do drop by if you are Muar Assam Fish lover! :)

Sneak Preview of LEGOLAND Malaysia at Iskandar Johor. (Part 2)

Continue from the previous post of LEGOLAND® Malaysia...

After the last ride in the park, we were invited to the Market Restaurant for the Ramadan Buffet Dinner...along the path, we passed by the Miniland. Yes! This is what I'm looking for!

"Miniland, is known as the heart of all LEGOLAND® worldwide. There are five LEGOLAND Parks in the world with locations in the United Kingdom, United States, Denmark and Germany. In this particular area of the Park, clusters are recreated using thousands of LEGO® bricks. The newest LEGOLAND Miniland pays special tribute to Asia. There are 17 areas including one dedicated to Singapore."

Let me show you some photos of the miniature LEGO sturcture in Miniland...
First, the PTP Port of Johor.

The Administration Office of PTP

There is a Cruise parking behind the building...

The Cruise parked at PTP (above), can you recognize the cruise?

One of the street at Kuala Lumpur, can you figure the name of the street?

The Twin Tower of Malaysia

Follow by the miniatures of Singapore...

The Riverside Point of Singapore

Does it looks like Clark Quay of Singapore?

Can you recognize these buildings?

The Singapore Flyer (in Miniland of LEGOLAND)

The Taj Mahal of India

The Forbidden City of China (not complete yet...)

The motorize Dargon in the Forbidden City

The area has so many buildings and it was totally not enoug time for me to snap all! The best time to take photograph at the Miniland is before 12 noon, my advise. I will definitely come back to the Miniland, and soak myself in the park for at least 3 hours! I like it Very Much! :)

"Once fully operational the Park will also feature a wide variety of food and beverage outlets. Three restaurants, three food-stands, and 10 food-carts serving freshly prepared food will be available to visitors.
 Aside from the above, visitors can also look forward other outlets such as Pizza Mania and The Cafe. All three restaurants have an average seating capacity of 150 – 500 people. The average adult meal costs from RM10.50 to RM23 and the kid’s set meal deal which includes a main, a side and a drink is just RM15."

The General Manager (Mr Siegfried Boerst) and the F & B Director (Mr Zain Azrai Azhar Simin) were waiting for us at the entrance of Market Restaurant...they were really Friendly!

The combined restaurant seating of over 1400 peoples and all LEGOLAND Malaysia F&B outlets are HALAL certified.

The restaurant session end about 1-2 hours later, we walked towards the exit of the Theme park with our heavy loaded stomach...:)
Along the way, I still cannot stop myself to snap the night scene of the park...

The contractors are busy for the finishing work of the park, included this little cute LEGO model too...! :)

The middle of the park is the lake area which we didn't have chance to explore this time...I'll definitely take more photos of it on my next visit!

By that time, once we turn and look back of the park...what attracted me was the LEGOLAND giant signage on the hill...

The tram above is going to tour you in the LEGOLAND...must be interesting! Even the park is built perfectly for family and children, I do think that's one of the good spot for photography enthusiast like me!

At last, we reach the exit of the park, the colourful lighting at the ticket counter was nice and attractive!
