Teck Sing Restaurant @ JB

Made a day trip to Johor Bahru with hubby and my parents. We had a very late lunch at a Bak Kut Teh place and after that, we went Jusco to shop and buy some groceries. Dad wanted to try beggar chicken somewhere opposite Danga Bay, which was recommended in one of our local food variety shows. We managed to find the place. It doesn't really look at a restaurant, just like somebody's house. A young chap welcomed us and we told him we wanted to order the beggar chicken. He told us got 1 chicken. He then shouted into the house and asked whether got any more chicken. Haha... I found that very amusing. Then, he came back to us and told us no more chicken. After that, we asked whether got fish, got duck... he also replied no more!??!! Then another young lady walked out and explained to us as preparations will take a lot of time, we have to make orders for all the food 1 day in advance and she passed us their namecards. With disappointment, we told them we will come another time. Will review this again when we are back!! Anyway, I did a quick search on this place and found a review: http://umami.typepad.com/umami/2004/08/ban_heong_seng_.html
The preparation process is really pretty interesting. The next time we come back, I will check with them whether we can go earlier and check out how they prepare their stuff.

We drove out of the "restaurant" and I suggested going over to Danga Bay which was just opposite. We reached there but many restaurants were closed (Hari Raya Eve) and we sat down at an ikan bakar place. After looking through the menu, they only have fish and cockles to be grilled with sambal. Parents don't like spicy stuff and we headed back to Taman Tebrau area for dinner.

Hubby suggested Teck Sing Restaurant as this restaurant also served paper wrapped herbal chicken. The food was good and although the place was very very crowded, we didn't really need to wait very long for them. Total cost of the dinner was only RM 79 for a satisfying meal :)
