WELCOME TO HUA MUI RESTAURANT
JOHOR BAHRU
An old-school coffee shop was converted into double storey modern
kopitiam where basically downstairs
occupied by smokers, however upstairs will
be totally free from smoke. Not much fancy decoration and it still retain some
of the old day furniture and fixture.
As
a norm while we step in kopitiam, we were greeted by cheerful attendant.
Although this is a traditional chinese kopitiam, but due to its popularity and
halal status, a lot of Muslim friends also dine in here, successfully create a
picture of harmony and peace society with 1Malaysia spirit.
This
is also one of the highlighted order among the menu--Hainanese Chicken Chop. I
have been craving
this for quite sometime until I manage to find it out at this
kopitiam. The fried chicken chop was not oily
while retain its freshness and
juicy. Other than this, the home recipe made of the gravy was great if dip
the
chicken on the gravy. The chicken chop will be tastier if the gravy is more,
the green peas is too little
too.
Lam Mee (thick gravy noodles) which was also one of my favourite
noodles. The ingredients are quite a lot,
including fish cake, prawn, chicken
and vegetable, but this is the halal version without pork lard. A little
compromise
does not change the overall spirit of a good lam mee, but an opportunity for
our Muslim friends
to taste the traditional Chinese food. The only flaw is the
gravy, which is not thick enough to cling on the
noodles, and not sufficient
flavourful too.
To kickstart the breakfast/lunch, we ordered our drinks, both are
related to coffee, but not pure coffee
alone, a Cham Peng which consists tea
and coffee and also a iced Neslo combining nescafe and milo. Interesting to
have two taste in a cup.
