Been invited to Mama Nyonya Food Restaurant (N1.52416 E103.78535) for food tasting on one of evening together with fellow bloggers - Tony, Kim and my friend Robin. Before I share the food photos, I would like to said :"Thanks Mama Nyonya for the Delicious Nyonya Cuisine!"

I'm a regular patron for this Nyonya Restaurant for months ago and I still continue to try out their Special dish which is not the menu...Ms Grace Lim (the owner and the Chef) will frequently present her different Special Nyonya dishes week by week in the restaurant.

On our visit that evening, Grace was generously show us the making of Roti Jala. She slowly mixed the flour, eggs and water until perfect and continued in the kitchen.

After the session, we were eagerly waiting for the Nyonya dinner arranged by MaMa Nyonya Restaurant.

The First dish was Ayam Rendang (Chicken) which totally different from other Restaurant that we easily taste in Johor Bahru...the gravy was creamy, rich flavor and not very spicy, the chicken was fell out from the bone easily once in our mouth....

Before we can finish the first dish, the second dish presented on our table - The Roti Jala with Curry Chicken.

The 'Roti Jala' goes well with the curry, we mixed the curry with the 'Roti', it created a nice taste for both of it...
Do you notice the curry was different? Yes! They serve different curry with different dishes...Grace explained.

The third dish was Curry Chicken Buah Keluak.

We have to dig out the filling in the nuts and eat together with rice, with the help from Grace...

The filing is a mixture of prawns, chickens and the fruit itself...

I can't stop myself for having this while Grace was introducing....
Some might like it, some might not like it because of the unique taste of the fruit, you have to try it yourself...

The forth dish was the Nyonya Steam Fish which I mentioned before in my previous post...and follow by the new and special dish from the restaurant - The Lotus roots with Petai.

The lotus roots with petai

I like the crunchy lotus roots with the dried shrimp and the petai mixed with onion...I can't taste this elsewhere in Johor Bahru so far...

After the main dishes, we were having some Nyonya Kuih (snack) company with the Nyonya Cendol. Well, the dinner won't be complete without these snacks and Cendol...

The fried rice was nice! The Special Ramen taste good but the noodle not springy enough. The chicken was really special and we all like it! The water cress was definitely fresh and good! Overall, satisfied with the meals!

The Damage : RM52.00 for 2 adults and 1 child included the water cress juice. Reasonable price with the cool environment and the scenic view!

The Cafe just started about 6 months ago, but the farm has been through 5 generations of the family. The cafe open daily without off day during the school holiday season.

We spent almost 2 hours there to enjoy the view and we will visit it again!
