For this week, i would be going to Jb more often thus the reviews written would be on the restaurants/ stalls in JB.

Chuan Xin Restaurant(Opp Taman Pelangi)

I was caught attention by the big banner hanging outside the restuarant which states RM 5 for a small bowl of abalone kway teow soup. Thus, i decided to try this out. This restaurant's signature dish is the Abalone Kway Teow Soup. The soup itself consist of sliced abalone, pig liver, prawns, minced pork and some lettuce- All for $5(s)! I didnt notice the price that it is damn cheap. I flipped through their menu, diffcult to decide what to order. Fish maw soup? Pacific clam soup? Fishball soup? Since Im not a fan of soupy stuff, i go for the deep-fried items. I ordered a plate of stir-fried oyster caixin and deep-fried beancurd skin with fishmeat. I felt that the caixin is too salty as they used too much oyser sauce. They sprinkled fried shallots thus the vegetables is a little oily. I like the beancurd skin with fishmeat. It is so crispy and addictive. Every piece is wrapped with fishmeat with some crunchy stuffs and deep-fried till golden brown. One good thing is that the beancurd sheets are not salty but they are damn oily! The crunchy staff taste like chestnut but it's not sweet. I asked the person in charge what the crunchy stuff was. it is actually turnip! Alright, quite innovative but would be better if it's chestnut.

I paid RM 10 for the above 2 dish which is considered very reasonable to us S'poreans.A few celebratities from Singapore also went there for the abalone soup so i guess it must be quite tasty. I shall try it next week....
