Restorant Hin Thoy — Restaurant in Johor

Stuffy, suffy. The place is really stuffie, it could have been our arrival near its closing hour, but place is filled with hot fumes from the kitchen with little ventilation.

But that didnt stop us from devouring its delicious food. Especially it's Fried Riverprawn dish. It comes in a bigger than average size prawn, that has a very delicious crunch when biting into it. It is lightly seasoned where you could taste the essence of the prawn.

Cuttle fish kangkong with satay sauce (Rm11) 🫲

Steamed otak with eggs (Rm7) 🫲

Pig trotters bee hoon (Rm18) 👎 No wok kei. Lots of watery gravy - tasted more like boiled rather than fried bee hoon.

Pork liver (Rm13) 👎 Very...

Overall the freshness of the prawn is okay, the dishes other than this might not at the acceptable level you can tolerance. The cuisine of the food might not cooked in fragrance and just taste typically, sometime it is under the standard that is not worth to order it.

Hope the chef would be reconsidered to sharpen his skills on the dishes other than the prawn that would be increasingly attract the tourists to pay a visit there to taste the food of the fish village.
