Todays’ food is from a Hawker Centre from Taman Pelangi in Johor Bahru. This Hawker Centre offers a variety of different dishes and desserts from different stall. Let’s find out how was it?
THE FOOD:
We order their famous Clay Pot Chicken Rice, Char Kuay Teoh, Rojak, and some drink for our dinner.
The Clay Pot Chicken Rice was served with traditional pork sausages, salted fish, marinated chicken (in soy sauce), black gravy sauce, and a slices of onion springs to give additional flavour to the entire food.
The Clay Pot Rice was cooked through a traditional charcoal cooking which gives a classical taste that is very nice in my liking.
We need to stir all the ingredients inside before start eating it. But since we took out the food, the staff already mixed the dish for us before they packed it. The mixing of all those ingredients will allow the chicken oil (from the marinated meat) as well as the dark gravy sauce to mix together.
The level of salt is not destructive in my tastebuds, hence I would say I enjoyed every scope of this Clay Pot Chicken Rice. The salted fish is not that “super salty”. It actually compliments well to the authenticity the entire food. I think what makes this dish remarkable is because of the smoke coming from the charcoal. It mixed well with the entire dish which gives a great classical smell and taste (like the olden days).
The Char Kuay Teow on the otherhand was great it terms of taste and texture. The noodle rice is well prepared. The way the shop used light and dark soy sauce and the chilli was well blended to the bean sprouts, egg, prawns, cockles (of course without the shell), and chopped Chinese chives. The taste of pork was well controlled as the staff used a small amount of pork lard to make a sensational taste to the entire dish. For me, I feel that Char Kuay Teow was not overdone and it its good in my palate. By the way, the meaning of this dish for those who heard it for the first time was is “Char “ means “stir-fried” and” Kway Teow” which refers to flat rice noodles.
The rojak was also ordered from a different staff. This delight is a mix of fruit and vegetable and make it in a salad dish. This is common not only in Malaysia but also in other parts of Southeast Asia such as Singapore and Indonesia.
Anyway, this rojak is absolutely a good finisher aside from the drinks. The used gravy was mixed well with the fruits and vegetable to make it as a salad. There is distinct mixed taste of sweet and a bit of salty taste in every bite. But surprisingly the aftertaste is still the sweet sauce which is really nice in my liking.
I think, this kind of rojak with the combination of the fried “You Tiao” make it different from other rojaks in town. This rojak has its own identity in my own liking.
Overall, I would say that those food I tried here 9 out of 10 in my liking.
