Mama Jeli Recipe, Kota Tinggi, Desaru

When we were in Desaru, I was keen to try some of the local specialties such as Laksa Johor and Mee Rebus Johor. Mr. Google came to the rescue, and we dropped by at Mama Jeli Recipe in Kota Tinggi, Desaru for lunch before heading back to KL.

Housed in a shack, the restaurant is situated by the roadside and diners can have their meals al fresco-style. The menu (in Malay) can be found at the front of the restaurant, with offerings such as Laksa Johor, rojak, mee rebus, soto, cendol, ice jagung selasih and more.






We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and they were all delicious. Cendol pulut (RM2.50) is a must, great for cooling down in this hot weather! Sweet and salty.. yums!



The Laksa Johor (RM5.50) was excellent - spicy with a nice, thick fish broth. Laksa Johor usually comes with spaghetti noodles, but here, they use the short (white) laksa noodles instead.




Hubby and the boy loved the Mee rebus (RM5.50) - yellow noodles topped with a thick sweet potato broth. They ended up ordering another plate of this to share.



I ordered the Soto meehoon (RM5.50) for the kids, but they ended up preferring the spicier noodle dishes so I had this. LOL.





Mama Jeli Recipe is located approximately 11km (15-mins drive) from Westin Desaru.
