Grand Sea View is the most known restaurant in Batu Pahat. My colleague and I wanted to try their crab with rice, (refer to photo in Meeky-meeky), but it is not available, one waitress told us that we have to pre-order one day before(RM20 per order), the other told us they don’t serve it anymore, and another told us have to pre-order 2-3 days before as crabs are hard to come by… grrr, so we just other something else. This branch is Jalan Zabedah has open doors since 1987.
Fried Superior Noodle with seafood, so so. RM8 really cheap
Egg Soup Hock Chew Style, eggy soup with mince pork, sliced mushroom, not so good. RM6 really cheap too, although Sea View is known for being expensive.
They have 2 branch in Batu Pahat, one is a banquet hall, which can accomodate grand weddings-220 tables. This banquet hall operating since 2004.

Eyes a bit strained from reading all the financial data, tallying Account Receivables and Account Payable Reports. Hate accounting course during uni, don’t expect to be in touch with it during working life.
Anyway, the reports are tallied 😀
Had these Otak otak last Sunday, when my colleague and i arrived in Batu Pahat, 2 non-locals driving around and finally gave up looking for any nice restaurant. Had these otak-otak
in a food court (RM0.50 each). Otak-otak is specialty of this area (Johor area) and these are quite spicy.
Otak-otak is fish paste wrap in banana leaves.

No food post, but food rambling today, have you heard of a food called Poutine? It originates from Quebec Canada(a province where most speak french), it is situated towards the eastern side of Canada, also east of Toronto (Toronto is not capital of Canada, but the lesser known city Ottawa is)
Poutine consist of shoestring fries, sprinkled with shredded mozarella cheese(those use for pizza), then pour on gravy(those you get in KFC mash potatoes), and behold, a delicious snack, Poutine, I had it during my study time in Canada whereby i work in the school canteen, and they serve poutine on certain days of the week, and at time i made them, just as described above, And lo and behold, they are snatched up quickly.
So far, i have not seen any restaurant in Malaysia offering poutine, i think some restaurant do offer chili fries, which is fries top with chili, Wendy’s does served something similar, which is baked potatoes topped with chillis, but chili(pic below) is not my thing.

For more info on poutine, you can view this site, perhaps a MIT students, usually poutine recipe will specify cheese curd, don’t think they sell cheese curds in Malaysia, shredded mozarella will do just fine.
There is something quite comforting in eating fries, and poutine is like a step up, imagine picking a piece of fries up with stringy cheese, sorta like pulling a piece of pizza out of the pan, and soft stringy cheese, ummm… unfortunately, they is no where for me to satisfy my poutine craving in KL :\
