Dinner At San Low Seafood Restaurant, Johor

After having collected the Nyonya chang (dumplings) and pineapple tarts, we continued our journey to Johor. 

Not much traffic on the highway.

When we reached Johor, our hosts were waiting to take us out for dinner. Not wanting to eat rice, our hosts ordered the following.

Wat Tan Hor - Flat rice noodle in thick egg gravy.

The locals called this Smack Noodle (fried rice vermicelli).

Pea sprouts or pea shoots stir fried with garlic.

Deep fried baby squids.

Teochew sweet taro paste with ginkgo nuts and pumpkin (Or Nee).

Grilled fish cake (Otak-otak).

This is the place we had our first dinner in Johor.

It was a dark, rainy evening.

Back home in my garden.

After a long absence, a Cleome plant came out of the ground.

It grew and bloomed its first Pink Cleome flower (spider flower).

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed

- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence -

continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

for it is God who works in you to will and

to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

(Philippians 2:12-13, New International Version-NIV)

Dinner At Restoran Ah Meng, Johor Bahru.

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)
