Sizzling Stonegrill (Johor Bahru!)

^ Masak masak! Here's the other half cooking his chicken pieces.

We had dinner at Sizzling Stonegrill in Johor over the weekend! It's soooo easy and not to mention, convenient to cross the borders to Malaysia from Singapore now, and so naturally, the other half and i decided to offset our excess ringgit by frequenting JB for food adventures.

Sizzling Stonegrill is one of our favourite places to have dinner because it's

- healthy,

- affordable (about $10 SGD per pax), and

- fun!

We get to cook our food to our preferred doneness (well-cooked for both of us) and enjoy the process of drenching our meats in sauce(s) provided and voila, we have deliciously healthy food! 

Note: we always request for plain, white rice instead of the default fried rice that they serve. It'd be perfect if they had brown rice. It's brown rice > white rice for me!

^ This is how our food is served. By default, the boyfriend had skewered chicken.

^ I went with fish that night with no regrets! 

^ Soft, juicy fish bits that i soaked in sweet chilli sauce. Mmmmmmm i could eat this every dinner. 

Sizzling Stonegrill is basically a no-frills restaurant, but do note, you MIGHT end up smelling smoky after dinner! The branch in City Square is not as well ventilated as the branch in Jusco Aeon. There's not much to comment about since you're responsible for the taste of your own food. Service was quick, and portions were just right. It might be too much for small eaters though!

If you're feeling lazy to travel to Johor Bahru just for this, well there's always Pepper Lunch in Singapore. I'm not a huge fan of Pepper Lunch but for quick fixes. And I'm going to let you in on a hidden find in Singapore ...... Mysterious Cafe at Arab Street!

Mysterious Cafe is the exact replica of Sizzling Stonegrill, except pork is served. It's a shame for our (very strict) Muslim friends :( We've dined at Mysterious Cafe once and it tastes exactly the same as what we get in Malaysia. The menu is slightly more extensive but with a price to pay, literally. It's not ridiculously expensive. Still affordable! I enjoyed the mash potato though the boyfriend didn't (according to him it tasted weird).

Check out Mysterious Cafe's webpage here! Keep a lookout for their 'About' section on their homepage, it's pretty interesting!

Anyway, back to the food in Malaysia... 

^ Here's the boyfriend posing with our dessert from Gelatomio -- hazelnut gelato on a waffle bowl. I can never resist ice cream or gelato - they're a part of me. Wouldn't live without ice cream. And gelato.

^ Nom nom nom. Aside from the edible portion, cute cup huh? Hehe. I'm a sucker for cute packaging and i'd bet 99.99999% of the girls are too.

Tonight i'm feeling angsty and so i'm going to cut short my words and end it abruptly. 

I'll be back with either a post on homemade food or my experience at Madam Saigon (Vietnamese food)! If you'd like to see whichever first, leave me a comment whatsoever :) 

I also need suggestions on where i can eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking of exotic cuisines. Indian, perhaps? Mexican would be cool too (i'm picturing jumping beans now)
