Restaurant SY (Seafood Restaurant) – Batu Pahat

Date: 5-9 August

Batu Pahat is my boyfriends home town. Last week I travelled down to Batu Pahat in Johor for work. It was the third or fourth time in BP. My colleauges and I rated this as our favourite restaurant!

  • They have plenty of seating, but it’s a popular spot, so don’t come too late!
  • Deep fried shrimp, so yummy!
  • Fried tofu. Crispy on the outside, nice and silky on the inside!
  • Pork ribs – great eaten with rice.
  • Stir fried veges.
  • Er…forgot what dish this was!
  • Fried prawns with salted egg and pork floss!

There were 3 of us dining (2 girls 1 guy) and we ordered 3 dishes each time we dined there. It averaged around RM20 per pax as we ordered seafood both times and we were pretty full.

Batu Pahat, Johor – Ming Castle Dim Sum & Kafe Kiri Kanan

Date: 6-7th July 2019

This weekend we went to Batu Pahat, Johor, a small town in the South of Malaysia. The bf grew up there and we made the trip to visit his parents, and to return his dad’s car which we’ve been borrowing for 2 months (thanks bf’s dad)!

On Saturday afternoon, we decided to watch the new Spiderman – far from home movie at Pacific BP Mall, so after that we dined at Kafe Kiri Kanan for dinner. By the way, I thought the movie was average…..

Kafe Kiri Kanan

  • Nasi Goreng Seafood RM 12.76
    Really good, in food court standards.
  • Ramen Sayur Ayam Sup RM 8.45
    Light meal, I don’t think it was enough for bf’s dad as he kept stealing the mum’s food!
  • Kari Ayam + Roti RM 8.70
    Light meal for bf’s mum. Tasty but a bit spicy!
  • Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng RM 8.45
    Bf enjoyed his fried chicken (always does).

Kafe KK – Food review summary & Location

  • Favourite dish: My fried rice in omelet!
  • Price: $
  • Taste: 4/5 stars
  • Overall: 4 stars (above average food court food, will go back)
  • Location: Pacific BP Mall, G73, Jalan Kluang, 83000 Batu Pahat, Johor

Sunday morning, we went to yum cha (apparently the only one in Batu Pahat).

Ming Castle

  • BBQ Meat Bun RM4.50
    Didn’t taste this one, looked ok?
  • Sesame Ball RM4.50
    It has red bean paste in the middle, recommended!
  • Carrot Cake RM7.50
    I thought this was just average.
  • Prawn C Fun RM5
    This one was just average too…
  • Fried Prawn Roll RM6
    The star of the show! Crispy tofu skin on the outside, prawn and chives on the inside.
  • Pork and Century Egg Porridge RM2.80
    A good tummy filler but not as good as congee back in KL.
  • Sweety Yolky Bun RM4.50
    I always have to order this dish, and check whether the inside is runny like it is meant to be..
  • Ok, so it was runny…..but the outside bun wasn’t as soft as I imagined and tasted a bit plain.

Now we are back in KL, it’s time to rest up and get ready for another week. Hope everyone has a great week ahead 😀
