金满楼海鲜酒家@Restoran Kim Mua Lau
Happy CNY once again and especially to the Hokkiens who celebrate CNY on the 9th day. CNY is not complete without a visit to the reknowned FGS Dong Zen Buddhist Temple in Jenjarom (佛光山东禅寺). But, before that let’s take care of our tummies!
The best way to get to Jenjarom is via the KESAS highway. After paying the RM2.20 toll at Kemuning, look out for Banting. Follow this signage all the way until you come to Teluk Panglima Garang. A few kilometres ahead you will see RHB Bank on your right. Turn right, go on for while and you will see Kim Mua Lau, a corner one-shoplot restaurant on your right.
The ten of us arrived at Kim Mua Lau at 6.30pm and the place is already abuzz. Business is good this time of the year when people flock to the temple nearby. We ordered 6 dishes.
This is the RM21 three-cup chicken (三杯鸡). This is very much a Taiwanese dish. The 3 cups used in this dish are an equal portion of the following:- sesame oil, Chinese cooking wine and soya sauce. It had a very exotic aroma and I really loved the sauce.

This is the spare ribs with pumpkin in a clay pot (RM21). This dish is not only yummy….but very healthy. Pumpkin is said to be loaded with beta-carotene, an essential antioxidant that fights cancer.
This is prawns with corn (RM39). I must admit this is the first time I come across this. What a delectable dish!
This is a simple dish of stir fried yau mak with garlic (RM12). Great dish as there was sufficient wok hei.
Steamed lala with garlic (RM21) was the next dish we savoured. We specifically requested for this dish to be done without any chillies – for 2 reasons:-
Someone in our group couldn’t take spicy food
2- We needed to gauge the freshness of the lala
This dish scored a perfect 10. Fresh lala steamed with sufficient garlic truly make a mouth-watering dish that no one could resist!
Well, the ,last dish is one that you must definitely try. Fried mee hoon with crabs (RM51) –something truly unique! The dish actually had more crabs than noodles…and I ain’t complaining J
The total bill for our dinner for 10pax came in less than RM200. Overall, it was a very satisfying meal.
Here are some pictures of the temple. It’s really worth a visit. Ample free parking and admission is also free.
