SANG Seafood • HALAL Johor Chinese Restaurant • Memories of Old Danga Bay • Menu & Review📍Damansara Aliff 尚海鲜 清真 ☏ +6019 737 7556

Alice invited me to lunch with a group of friends at SANG Seafood, a Halal certified Chinese seafood restaurant at Taman Damansara Aliff in Johor Bahru.

I rarely get to try Chinese Halal restaurants because there weren't that many in Johor, or even Malaysia.

The last one I went to was Mohd Chan in Ipoh. So I jumped at the opportunity to visit SANG Seafood at Damansara Aliff (which is at Singapore's doorstep).

You Buy Andy Cook for You Seafood Zhi Char @ Ong Siew Lian Coffee Shop in Pontian 好来海鲜

One of my favourite things to do in Johor is to drive to Pontian, buy fresh seafood from the Pontian Fish Market and let the 代炒 zhi char stalls at the market cook it for us.

New Lucky Seafood | 1-5, Jalan Keris, Taman Sri Tebrau, 80050 Johor Bahru ☏ +607 338 3822 ⏰ 11:15 am - 10:45 pm
✍️ 28 Apr 2024. It's the end of our dawn till night JB food trail, and New Lucky was our grand finale. Not because of any particular craving but because most of us haven't been here for a while. New Lucky founded in 1978 is a JB zhi char stalwart that has a loyal following and almost every JB foodie will do the obligatory check in once in a while.

New Lucky located in Taman Seri Tebrau is popular with locals as well as Singaporeans as it is just 10 minutes drive from CIQ.

Super Lobster Restaurant a Worthy Alternative for Live Seafood in Sg Rengit 龍皇海鮮樓

Superior Broth Lobsters

I haven't been back to Sg Rengit for lobsters for over 3 years. After trying various lobster places there, I concluded that on balance Jade Garden Seafood Corner was the safest bet. But, I have continued looking for alternatives. This trip, I think I found a worthy alternative in Super Lobster Restaurant 龍皇海鮮樓.

Orang Asli Seafood Mutiara Biru near Taman Perling Johor Bahru 阿士里海鲜村

Johor Bahru has a few seafood restaurants on platforms over the water along the Johor Straits (facing Singapore) where Orang Asli chefs serve Chinese zhi char 煮炒 style dishes. Last evening, I finally visited Restoran Asli Makanan Laut Mutiara Biru near Taman Perling which had been on my "To Eat list" for a long time.

✍ Update 10 Sep 2025. KS Treasures has revamped its menu 👈

Last night, buddy John invited me to join him at KS Treasures Restaurant in Taman Sentosa in Johor Bahru. His family are regulars here since falling in love with Chef Benson's food last year. Truth be told, there are very few Chinese restaurants that offer food of such finesse in JB.

Loke Tien Yuen Seafood • Jewel of Mersing Restaurants 乐天园酒家

Loke-Tien-Yuen-Mersing-Cantonese-Restaurant-乐天园酒家

There are probably no more than a small handful of small restaurants in Malaysia and Singapore, the likes of century old Loke Tien Yuen in Mersing still serving authentic old school Cantonese classics. So for fans of Cantonese food, it is worth the 150km drive from JB to Mersing through windy and undulating roads for a taste of the dishes at Loke Tien Yuen.

This was my third visit to Tian Lai 天来 in Gelang Patah. The restaurants at Gelang Patah are just a short drive from LEGOLAND or Puteri Harbour. I picked Tian Lai tonight mainly for the crabs here and it was good the previous two times I was here.
