This is a Big and Airy Non-Airconditioned Restaurant, and although not Full House, was still quite Crowded on a Friday Morning. The Staffs are busy and won't greet you when you arrive, so you have to Self-Service. Its the type where after you have written what you want, you press a Bell at your Table for Service.
3 Layers Coffee (Cold) = RM6.90
The Drink was served up in 3mins and it looks nice and does have 3 Layers although not Super Seperated, but Ok I felt it was still acceptable. The Coffee taste Rich and Creamy and while it's not Super Strong, it can still wake you up.
Hainanese Chicken Chop = RM18.90
Looks Nicely Fried with a Beautiful Fried Smell. Its also quite a Big Sized Portion, roughly the Size of my Palm. I reckon this is made with Both a Drummy and Thigh attached. The Sauce is a Very Light Tasting Mushroom Sauce. It is really very Light and Gentle Tasting. This is a very Nice and Light Sauce.
There were some Peas in this Sauce and they are Super Soft and Disintegrate fast in your Mouth. Normally Peas tend to taste Mushy and they can easily overstay their Welcome. Not the case here. The Peas are done just right. I love the Batter. It is Very Thin and Lightly Breaded and Very Lightly Crunchy. Doesn't taste Overly Oily. Chicken Meat is Plump and Juicy. There is a Very Light Salt Marination and Not Overly Fried. Chicken Taste is not overpowering and it's not 重口味. Amazingly the Whole Thing tastes Very Light despite it being Fried.
I appreciate that the Potato Wedges on the side look like they're made of Actual Cut Skin-On Potatoes. Not Overly Salted and taste very Elegant! Love the Baked Half Tomato here, whose main job is to help further cut any Greasiness. Good choice here. And when you drink the 3 Layer Ice Coffee, it helps to cut down even more Greasiness. Amazing!
The Correct Way to eat this, is of course to Banjir the Sauce all over the Chicken Chop which makes it very Visually Appetizing. The Chicken Chop pairs Beautifully with the Sauce and having a Slight Crunch mixed with the Savoury Sauce results in a Very Umami and Light Tasting Combo. That said, this will get Soggy fast, so you need to eat this quickly.
The Soul of this Whole Dish is really how Light Tasting everything tasted and was Not Overly Greasy. So Light and Smooth! This Chicken Chop has alot of thought gone into it's design. The fact I can even find a Piece of Drummy Bone shows that this is not just Premade Supermarket Chicken Chops. First time seeing a Piece of Bone in a Chicken Chop.
This shows that Hua Mui actually go thru the Effort of taking a Whole Drummy + Thigh, debone and flatten it. This takes abit more effort to do, but at least this shows that the Chicken Chop are most likely not a Pre-Made Supermarket Product.
The Asking Price of RM18.90 (S$5.41) for their Chicken Chop feels Expensive, but its worth the Effort and Quality showcased here. And Everything for a Combined Total of RM28.90 (S$8.28) is Absolutely Worth the Money to give this a try. They even gave me a RM2.00 voucher for my future patronage. Heck I would visit this again even without this Voucher!

Read moreWas actually looking for a nice area for variety of choices and Sutera is the place to drop by when you're in JB. My friend asked me to picked and we decided to walk in Rest Hwa Mua.
Saw one of my favourite Hainanes Chicken chop and we ordered it. We also ordered mushroom soup as whipped potatoes and coleslaw was not available and hot soya cincau.
We waited a while, mushroom soup was hot and tasty. And finally our hainanes chicken chop arrived. It was hot and a good portion but it could do with a lil more gravy and potatoes. Gravy looks a bit different though but overall ok la.
There are still many favourite dishes here, probably will drop by again to try out the other dishes. It's gonna take a while to explore the whole Sutera area.
As for parking, we were lucky to have one just across the road. But I hear it could be packed. Maybe because the Singaporean crowd is missing and because of the pandemic, many still chose not to...
