Makan with R in JB

Address: No. 100, Jalan Keris, Tama Sri Tebrau, 80050, J.B.
Tel: 012-7082680 / 012-7750511

Before heading over to Melaka, we met up with R for a satisfying meal in Johor Bahru, at a place called "Kedai Makanan/ Seng Steam Fish Restaurant", near Taman Pelangi. R drove us down and we managed to find a parking space along the side of the road. He informed us that most of the good eating places in Johor Baru would be closed in the afternoon so I guess it was lucky that we managed to have our lunch there.

The dipping sauce, made from green and red chilies, garlic and soya sauce. It went well with my rice. The boys said that it was relatively simple to make and I am tempted to recreate this at home for meals in the future.
Fried Four Seasons Vegetables (Locals know it better as "四大天王" or "Four Heavenly Kings"), which was rather savoury. It was a mixture of lady's fingers, long beans, brinjal and petai, fried with garlic, onion, ikan bilis and chilies, and topped off with fried shallots.
The fish that the restaurant is famous for. I'm not a fish lover but this was absolutely yummy.
Herbal Bak Kut Teh. The picture's a little blurry as a result of the rising steam. The stock was good, but I felt that the meat was a little tough.
Fried Ngoh Hiang which was in my opinion, average-tasting.
The entire meal came up to about 55 Ringgit for the 3 of us (with drinks).
