Sodam Korean Restaurant at Taman Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru

Sodam Korean Restaurant (N1°29.772' E103°49.028') located at Permas Mall Block A. It's just behind the Taman Permas Jaya Developer office (Just next to Jusco Permas Jaya).

We had our Mother's Day dinner over here. It's my first time dining in this Korean Restaurant. The decoration created the relax ambience among it.

Relax environment of Sodam Korean Restaurant

Honestly I'm not good in ordering the Korean foods, so....we just order the set for 6 adults. I'm not sure what it contain in the package, but definitely it's Korean foods! Haha!
Beside that, my wife and her sisters ordered a bottle of Baek Se Ju (Korean Alcohol) to share and just mug of Heniken for me.

Baek Se Ju (MYR35.oo per bottle)

The Banchan (side dish) serve in less than 10 minutes....
Beside Kimchi, I don't know the name of the rest of the side dish.

And follow by the main dish - the Beef and Pork. The waitress was professional enough to BBQ the meat for us.
I was attracted by the BBQ stove design. I think we can't get it in local market, it maybe imported from Korea.

Beside the stove I also like the Korean idea of using the compress smokeless charcoal. It's good for environment.

The small portion of the beef (left), cost MYR59.00. Must be imported.

Well trained waitress was preparing the foods on the stove.

It's just took about 3-5 minutes, the first plate of BBQ Beef serve on table.

BBQ Korean Beef

That was really delicious!! This was my first time bite on Korean beef, and it's Different from local! It's excellent!

That moment only last us 20 minutes....because the beef left only this...

The last few pieces of the Korean beef

Another good dish was the Steam egg. We ordered Double!

Until all of us almost full, the Big portion of Korean Seafood soup was serve! Oh my goodness!

The soup was good and tasty, but I can't have more....I'm extremely full! Haha! But I'm prefer more strong taste like local soup...

This Korean restaurant provided a good service (including the boss of the restaurant) and environment.

The damage of the dinner : MYR432.00 (For 6 adults and 2 children). It was pricey!

The Korean boss of the restaurant

Even I prefer Asian foods with strong taste, I would say this Korean foods was good!

I rated : 4/5

Botak Curry Mee (Noodle) at Kluang

I had been heard about this BOTAK Curry Mee (N2°01.736' E103°19.263') almost ten years ago, and I even miss it since my last visit to Kluang. So I definitely wanna try it this time!

The stall located at Jalan Panggung of Kluang Town. It's actually a very old hawker center along the road. It's navigated by the GPS Malfreemaps and easily found.

It's located at the right side of the road.

The signage also Big enough to being notice. Haha!

The signage

It's almost 3pm when I was there....and there's only one table is occupied. So I quickly place my order and wait....
The noodle serve in about 5 minutes, and I say....it's delicious!

Overall it's good!
The taste was different from the Laksa (Which is similar with curry noodle) at Johor Bahru. The coconut (Lemak in Malay) cream is lesser than the curry flavor. The Laksa selling at Johor Bahru mostly are same level or the coconut cream taste is more than the curry flavor...

The cost of the bowl of Curry Mee : MYR4.00 (reasonable)

I rated : 3.5/5

* There is another Botak Curry Mee at Kampung Paya, Kluang still yet to find out...

East Coast Park of Singapore

We were having a barbecue picnic at East Coast Park (N1°18.665' E103°57.008') of Singapore on the Saturday morning. Obviously, it's a nice place to relax yourself. So far there's no such recreation park at Johor Bahru yet!

The beach at East Coast Park of Singapore

Beside relaxing yourself and enjoy the scenic view, cyclists and roller skaters are everywhere. I really enjoy to cycling along the beach...it has total of 11.6km of bike trail, but I failed to finish the whole trail....Honestly, it's a nice place to sweat! Haha!

Cyclist & roller Skater

I love the way he hang the shoes...

I enjoy having my barbecue chicken in my hand with the greenery surrounding...I felt so peaceful....

The Greenery environment

Along the trail, there's a Campsite with washroom facility. There were quite a numbers of campers having their tents and enjoying the foods....

I was attracted by the outdoor facilities of the Singapore Outward Bound School East Coast Campus.
And I'm wondering about staying in this nice place, possible? No, I'm not the student here...

Beside this Campus, there's the Water Venture@East Coast.

The area to keep the Surfboard

Some photos of the Wind Surfers.

Beside the Windsurfing, there are also the Extreme Sport where the surfers surf on the surfboard with Parachute, they called - Kitesurfing. Below are some photos....

Kitesurfing

I continue on my cycling and shame to say....it's only 4km for the total ride! Oh! I'm so weak on exercise! Haha!
Along the way, I notice there are many peoples love fishing on this jetty. Just a rough count, easily 100 of peoples!
I check on the Malfreemaps, it called Bedok Jetty. (The total length of the jetty is about 400 meters)

Cyclists also everywhere on the jetty...

At the end of the jetty, there is a Solar panel and Windmill generator, I believe is to power up the street light at night. Make use of the natural resources. I love the idea!

I love the park very much, and also yet to explore other places along the coast. It's not easy to fully explore of the total of 11.6km East Coast Park. I need to practice my cycling frequently, hope I can finish it on my next visit. :)

Below are some others photos to share...

Are you water smart? (Signage)

Sunshine Kopitiam at Taman Putri Wangsa, Ulu Tiram, Johor

Sunshine Kopitiam (N1°35.358' E103°48.451')

This is the new outlet which located the last shop at Jalan Beladau 14 of Taman Putri Wangsa. The old shop still operating at Ulu Tiram town.

Everytime I come over here, I need to wait at least 5 minutes! The shop is pack with peoples anytime (even weekday), weekend will be worst.

I like the Sambal bread, the half boiled eggs and the coffee. That's my standard order for every visit.
The 'Half Boiled Eggs' are very popular, you can see it on most of the table!

The Sambal Bread

Beside the above Sambal Bread, they also serve very good toasted bread.

My Half Boiled Eggs(serve with bowl) and coffee

They are many peoples grew together with this kopitiam since many decades ago...

Sze Hwa Bak Kut Teh at Kulai, Johor

The is the place where the Famous Sze Hwa Bak Kut Teh (N1°40.094' E103°35.225') started and now spread within Johor Bahru area.

You can find a few of the franchise like the Shi Hua at Taman Permas Jaya, Shi Hua at Rosmerah area of Taman Johor Jaya.

I wanted to try it long time ago, until today....I tasted the so called Original Sze Hwa Bak Kut Teh at Kulai. (There is another 'New Sze Hwa' at Kulai too, these two are brothers).

The shop was pack with peoples on my visit. It was a Saturday morning. The foods serve in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. That's fast!
