Set Dinner at Taang Shi Fu Restaurant in Johor Bahru

I was at Taang Shi Fu restaurant in Johor Bahru recently with a friend. We were looking the menu at what to order for dinner and then placed the food orders with a young waiter. The waiter casually asked whether we would liked to try their set menu dinner for two. He said that the set dinner meal was definitely value for money.

We decided to proceed with the waiter's recommendation and had the set dinner meal. The set meal dinner was RM88 and when after adding service charges, towel and starter ( Guava with Chen Pi ), the total amount was RM107.75.

Overall, it was a good dinner meal and yes it was value for money. Here are the photos of the food that was served -


This is the Guava with Chen Pi - very crunchy and slightly sour in taste.

Black Chicken Herbal Soup - I liked this soup.


Fried beans with minced pork - the beans were crunchy and fresh.


Cod Fish with vegetables and herbs - This was the best dish. The cod fish was very fresh and I finished up all the gravy.


Silky Tou  Fu with mushrooms.


Longan and white fungus desert - Slightly too sweet.


One Jug of herbal tea - again slightly too sweet for me.


There is a choice of white or brown rice.

The Sky Executive Suites and Sky Loft in Bukit Indah

I saw 2 condominium developments that are close to the shopping malls in Bukit Indah - The Sky Executive Suites and Sky Loft. I think more condominiums will be built around the central town of Bukit Indah as I noticed some land had been fenced up.

The Sky Executive Suites is just opposite the TESCO mall and also Giant Supermarket. You need to cross over a busy 2 way streets to reach Giant supermarket from the condominium. This development looks liked an ordinary apartment building - totally white in color and a rectangle long balcony for the apartment unit. It seems to be empty as there was no cars or people moving in/out of the main gate.


The Sky Loft is still under work in progress and has a better location than the Sky Executive Suite. It is located next to AEON mall and opposite Granada Hotel. The AEON mall is a much better mall than TESCO in terms of tenants and shopping experience.


I guess many people are buying condominiums units and landed properties in Bukit Indah hoping it will provide a good return in investment or as a second home. If you are buying it for the purpose of renting it out, it may take months to find a tenant. I saw many units of The Sky Executive Suites being put up for rent in property portals. I think it is a tenant's market over here - the prospective tenant can choose and pick from the many units available.
