Nyonya Popiah at MaMa Nyonya Restaurant, Taman Molek - Johor Bahru.

We were having a Nyonya Popiah party at MaMa Nyonya Restaurant (N1.52416 E103.78535) on one of the Saturday evening. The lady boss - Ms Grace Lim prepared all the necessary ingredients for the popiah and let us wrap ourself! That was fun!

Ms Grace Lim told us the important of the Yum Bean (jicama) that make a good popiah, we learned something here...:)

And the restaurant also prepared the ingredients for Nyonya Pai-Tee for our second round...
Then Grace show us the way to wrap a Popiah...well, seems like a Nyonya class to me...:)

She wrap it nicely and show us the tactic to balance every popiah we are going to wrap... 

Grace Lim show us the way...

After about 10-15 second, the first Nyonya popiah was ready on the table!

Well, you can judge the food by the impression of this lady (friend's wife). She was not the only one but everyone have the same impression! :)

 Hmm...delicious popiah!...

My friends didn't forget to order the Famous Nyonya Cuisine - Ladyfinger and special chili paste. The chili was really nice and special where I ever taste it before!

IT Roo Cafe at Jalan Dhoby, Johor Bahru

The cafe is operate in the pre-war building which bring us back to memory lane...the decoration in the cafe is unique with many old black and white photos about the cafe itself and the Johor Bahru town back on the 70s.

The deco on the wall of IT Roo Cafe

I assume this is the First cafe in town who selling western food and the Best Chicken Chop in town during 70s era...
And the cafe name was direct translated from Chinese name as the photo below...

They have indoor (air-conditional) and outdoor section which cater for customers preference. We chose the air-conditional area because there was still a table available...
Nice and comfort environment.

The indoor air-con section

The ourdoor section just next to it...

I ordered the Black Pepper Chicken Chop and it taste nice! The chicken was grilled with moist which was succulent! The chop served with some potatoes, cabbage salads and piece of cucumber and tomato. I would prefer if they serve mashed potatoes...:)

You no need to worry about the price because the cafe charges very reasonable for every dishes! I will be back to try out the Famous fried rice again!

Do try it out if you are chicken chop lover! :)
