Beside the traditional Malaysian or Asian food, there are also international food served at different counters. Most of the food counters impressed us because the food changing from morning, noon and evening...means even same counter, it won't be same food depends on the time you visit.

Chinese food counter

Western food counter

Too many counters that I can't snap all...like dessert, fruits and many more!

Some of the foods were average and some were excellent!

I like this satay and the chicken chop! Especially the sauce...

Sushi are available too...

The chicken with the blue cheese sauce, awesome!

The chicken roll above was special!

The Rembulan Restaurant (which is located at the private beach, about 5-10 mins from the main reaort) also serve similar food during the lunch hour with less variety, and less crowd. But the ala-carte dinner is nice, dining area is special arrange at the sandy beach but too bad it was fully booked during our visit...no luck for this time!

The Noodles House is operating from 2.45 to 6 pm and from 9.45 to 11.30 pm. You will enjoy the tasty noodles from the menu provided.

Noodle Bar of Club Med Cherating

We tried on 3 types of different noodles from the bar, beef noodles (dried type) and the other 2 seafood noodles. Yummy!
The Tiger beer tap also available at the corner of the bar, where you can enjoy the fresh draught Tiger beer within your meal.

The food served in Club Med Cherating were not heavenly delicious but considered enjoyable. They won't serve pork and lard within the club, which is suitable for those who don't take pork.

We were satisfied with all the meal in Club Med Cherating, especially they serve from morning till late evening...you can enjoy the food whenever you are hungry.

Taiphoon Formosa Cuisine restaurant 台风膳房台湾料理 (N1.51433 E103.66898) is located exactly same place with Taroko Teppanyaki along Jalan Tanjung Sutera 8/2, Taman Sutera Utama, Johor.

We were there quite early and it was not that crowded. The restaurant cozy and tidy environment remain the same, equipped with air-conditioning and free Wifi services.

Cozy and tidy setting of the restaurant

The humble and friendly owner - Mr Thomas started to introduced their signature dishes to us once we settled the table. At first, he would like us to try out the imported Taiwan teas which are not easy available in Johor Bahru, as the name of the tea was 'Shan-lin-xi' （杉林溪）. Beside this, they also have another 3-4 more imported Taiwan tea in the restaurant.

Alisan tea 阿里山高山茶

Highlands tea 高山极品茶

This was my first time tasting the Taiwanese tea, surprisingly...it was not in brown colour...but totally plain and no colour at all. The aroma was spreading around our table once it pour into each small cup, we like it very much!

Shan-lin-xi Taiwanese tea 杉林溪高山茶

We let Mr Thomas to introduced their signature dishes on the dinner...and the dishes were :-
1)  Taiwanese pork knuckles 台湾猪脚
2)  Shredded pork with mashed garlic 蒜泥白肉
3)  Mapo toufu (stir fried toufu in hot sauce) 麻婆豆腐
4)  Garlic sprout bean curd 蒜苗豆干
5)  Braised intestine 卤大肠
6)  Stir fried Chinese broccoli 清炒芥兰
7)  Meat ball soup 贡丸汤
8)  Chicken cooked with ginger and wine in casserole 三杯鸡
9)  Chives and cabbage dumplings 韭菜和白菜饺子

Taiwanese pork knuckles 台湾猪脚

The taste of the Taiwanese pork knuckles was slightly different from our local braised pork knuckles, it was mild and not too salty but with a nice aroma. Beside that, the pork knuckles was cooked with peanuts and it went well with a plate of plain rice. Like it!

Shredded pork with mashed garlic 蒜泥白肉

This was a popular dish in Taiwan. The sliced pork was boiled and served with the mashed garlic sauce and almost 13 types of ingredients like onion, ginger, soy sauce, rock sugar, anise, Chinese cinnamon, salt and many more...the pork were half lean and fat, and succulent, with all this combination of the ingredients above...resulted this delicious dish on our table.
This was one of the best dish of our dinner! Awesome!

Mapo toufu was nice with a little spicy on the gravy on the smooth bean curd, the taste was above average.

Garlic sprout bean curd 蒜苗豆干

The garlic sprouts bean curd available locally too, but fried with certain different local ingredients. Garlic sprouts were just nice with the crunchy bite with a level saltiness.

Braised intestine 卤大肠 + 卤蛋

Braised intestine 卤大肠 + 卤蛋

The braised intestines is widely available locally especially at the Koey Teow Kia restaurant, the only different about this dish was the sauce from Taiwanese recipe. It really brought me back to Taipei for few second when I taste on it. Nice!

Stir fried Chinese broccoli 清炒芥兰

Stir fried Chinese broccoli was average and it was a local dish, not Taiwanese signature.

Meat ball soup 贡丸汤

Meat ball soup was prepared with meat ball (minced pork) with white radish, the size of the balls were bigger than what we have locally, the soup was tasty and all of us like it.

Chicken cooked with ginger and wine in casserole 三杯鸡

The dish above also known as three cup chicken, a popular dish within Taiwan. The chicken cooked with ginger and wine, topped up with basil leafs. Taste was slightly different compare with local clay pot yellow rice wine chicken. Taste above average.

Chives and cabbage dumplings 韭菜和白菜饺子

Homemade dumplings skin and rich stuffing. Dip into the vinegar and ginger, it was perfect
Based on my personal taste bud, I like their dumplings very much! Chives or cabbage, I grabbed both! This is one of the recommended dumplings you should order!

Beside the dishes above, we did ordered some of the Teppanyaki dishes from the restaurant...chicken, lamb and beef.

New Zealand beef Teppanyaki

Overall, we like the food over here. I'll be back often for the mashed garlic sliced pork and the dumplings!
