We were informed that there was an invitation for dinner that night. We were told to meet at the venue at the given time. As expected, there was a big crowd at the restaurant since it was a public holiday. In the end we have to go upstairs where there is a big table available for 9 of us. When everyone is seated, a lady server came to take our orders. In spite of the crowd, the service was fast and in a short while the food was served.
First, the smack noodle. This is different from the earlier smack noodle that we ate on our first day in Johor Bahru.
This is steamed fish with Nyonya sauce.
Spicy sambal stinking beans with anchovies.
Bitter gourd or bitter melon with eggs.
Stir fry baby greens or choy sum veggie with garlic.
Steamed salted free range chicken
Dipping sauce for the chicken.
Deep fried baby octopus.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner as you can see from the almost empty plates.
The deep fried octopus plates were added towards the end of the dinner.
A yummy dessert to end a delightful dinner.
This is the Or Nee (taro paste sweet dessert) with pumpkin.
When mixed together, this reminds me of baby food! Lol!

Come, let's talk this over, says the Lord;
no matter how deep the stain of your sins,
I can take it out and make you as clean as freshly fallen snow.
Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you white as wool!
(Isaiah 1:18, The Living Bible-TLB)
...what colorful pairs, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom! Enjoy your weekend too!
DeleteHello, the food looks delicious. Love the pretty chickens. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your day and weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen! Have a blessed Sunday!
DeleteWow! Everything looked good on the table, including the dessert. Usually we don't order dessert after such sumptuous meal.
ReplyDeleteActually it is only 2 bowls of Or Nee to be shared by 9 people, a little bit to satisfy the taste buds.
DeleteThat’s a great holiday meal, and i like the chickens.
ReplyDeleteChickens were my play mates when I was growing up in the village.
DeleteMuy buena comida. Me gustan los gallos y gallinas. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!

ReplyDeleteGreetings.

Thank you, Lucja!
DeleteIt is the Smack Noodles for me! They look divine! I have never seen this dish before. What makes them Smack Noodles, how are they prepared?
ReplyDeleteI only tasted the Smack Noodles in Johor. There is none in Ipoh.
Deletewell, I always say you have to tast it before you can say anything :) If I like it depends of the spices used. :)
ReplyDeleteSome are spicy, some are not. You have to taste it to know if you like it!
DeleteThe chickens are quite a sight!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they are!
DeleteThanks for your comment on my blog Nancy. It nice that you had such a feast with your friends on a busy Holiday and the food was served fast. I think I could try everything except the baby octopus , maybe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julia! I ate a few octopus and stopped after starting to feel squirmish.
DeleteEverything look so delicious!!! Have nice weekend :-)

DeleteThe food looks so wonderful...lots of dishes I've never tried but would like to taste! Cute chickens too! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear! Have a blessed Sunday!
DeleteI would say I like all the dishes together with the dessert but my favourite would be the salted steam chicken
ReplyDeleteThe gravy of the steam chicken is enough to keep me happy that I don't think I need any sauce hee hee
DeleteI too like the steamed chicken with the dipping!
DeleteMy hubby will scoop up the chicken gravy and put it on his rice!
Deletethis time I would choose the nooedles and the fish!
ReplyDeleteThey are good choices! Have a great Sunday, Ola!
DeleteThe deep fried octopus is very tempting...
ReplyDeleteSo nice that we have to order 2 plates!
DeleteI don't mix the or nee when I eat it so that it does not look like baby food.
ReplyDeleteYes, I shouldn't have mixed it up like that! Ha ha!
DeleteSuch a delicious meal, Nancy xx You certainly know how to make us drool.
ReplyDeleteNow looking back, I am missing all these good food!
DeleteHow come so much fried baby octopus left?! Haha that'd be the dish I'd attack the most.
ReplyDeleteThe younger ones attacked the octopus.
