Steamboat Dinner at Minyak Beku?Full house! Ocean Restaurant? FULLHOUSE!


After resting the whole afternoon at a country house where the shadows grew longer and longer streaming out the lattice, and where a whole book was read, it was time to go to our steamboat dinner.......NOT!
 

Afternoon rays silhouetted on marbled floor from latticed windows gave a languid and lazy feel......
Curled up on the armchair with a good read,
the stuff where dreams are made. 
 
Don't you just love this time of the afternoon? 
  
Move over, Eric Leong, if you need expertise on doing up your house, call Millie Loo, 0127002337, she can transform your house to what her aesthetically gifted eyes can see.......
 
Don't fret if you have the smallest of houses, she can work wonders, look what she has done to her terrace unit, not even corner house...
 
Then we were off to our steamboat dinner.  When Ong made his restaurant far from town on the way to Minyak Beku on a deserted plot of land, pple must have laughed....
  
It was so remote and not clearly visible from the road
 
There was ample parking space, but the crowd was HUGE!!! and it seems the pple keep coming, whether it's day or night, holiday or not!
 
Now Ong is laughing all the way to the bank.
 
Our next stop was Ocean Seafood Restaurant, a family favourite
 
No more tables!
 
Man Chor....FULL HOUSE
 
I forgot to note the name of this eatery, it is known for its assam fish head....the shop down the road for its black pepper crabs: "we must bring Sue Lin here for b.p.crabs" doting dad thought aloud.
 


Fresh fish head ...not frozen! I hate frozen food...I have never taken my meat, prawns and fish frozen as long as I lived in Batu Pahat, until I came to KL. Even the vegetables are boiled and then frozen here!! (I have since stopped this practice)
 
We had 6 dishes: claypot tauhu
 
Or chien or Oysters Omlette


 

Assam Fish head, signature dish
 
 Vegetable with salted fish
 
Best chicken wings that all the kids love
 
This shop is also well known for this sotong petai.
 
Busy tucking in. The damage?....see below:
 
RM118 for dishes
 
Total RM136.40 with rice and tea..for a party of 9!!!
