restoran bukit tinggi bbq
My sister and brother-in-law were rather enthusiastic about this restaurant at Bukit Tinggi. So one day we all got bundled up in my brother-in-law’s super hailat Hilux and off we went travelling to another state for dinner. Turn here, turn there, go straight… don’t ask me how to get there because I have absolutely no clue. I forgot to note down the GPS location either. Sorry 
The interior of the restaurant is decorated with brollies
They ordered a few of their signature dishes. Two of them are soft tofu with egg and some sort of stewed white cabbage. I didn’t think they were extraordinary, so I deleted the photos. By the way the carrot + pineapple juice was rather refreshing = good.
Green chilli! Quite yummy
Initially I was a bit sien when they ordered the green chilli. I don’t take red or green chilli if I can help it, because some things don’t need explanation. However I was urged to try one, and I did. And I liked! Not pedas at all, very nice!
I walloped a lot of the green chilli
There was also BBQ-ed lamb, which was tender, juicy and succulent. Need to eat it when it’s hot, otherwise not so sedap.
Lamb! Om nom nom nom nom
I liked the mint sauce that came with the lamb. A bit strong, but looks minty, kan?
Mint sauce! Om nom nom nom nom
Then there was seafood in a steamer.

Prawns, crabs, clams, mussels (last time my sister had the scallops, maybe they ran out)…
Close up of seafood in a steamer! Om nom nom nom nom
After a while, my sister called a waitress and nodded at the seafood in a steamer. The waitress took the thing away, and I was rather gutted because still got stuff inside mah! Then my sister said she was lazy to explain to me, and told me to wait. The waitress returned with the remaining seafood that was in the steamer, placed on a plate. About 10 or so minutes later, she came back with the steamer pot itself, and this time there was soup with sayur and mushrooms in it!
Soup with vegetables and mushrooms
Ohh… turned out that they used the wap-wap seafood yang telah distim as soup base. Smart. Tapi I tak rasa pun the supposedly sweet taste leftover from the steamed seafood. Maybe they added a tad too much ginger bits kot.
Okay lah kawan-kawan sekalian, here ends the food post. Since I have no clue as to how to get there, maybe you’ll have luck with the address and phone number below:

PT 15792 & 15793, Jalan Bukit Tinggi,

Now I need to go home and recuperate from the disastrous KL traffic I’d experienced almost the entire day. I wasn’t driving, but it felt just as bad.

Maybe the umbrellas were all left behind by patrons, and since it’s so far away from their homes, they just thought nobody’s gonna drive up to retrieve them; might as well use them…
ky: uh i know not the way
st: mmmmm
yeehou: heh okay
someone whip out gps
suertes: i think they were signed… by celebrities, i should imagine?!
you all eat the best of things! jeles!
for those who want directions:
it’s the same highway to berjaya’s bukit tinggi resort. follow the karak highway until u reach the genting exit, right before a tunnel. enter the tunnel. after exiting a tunnel, you will see a rest area on your right with McD. drive somemore towards kuantan. you will come to a rather steep slope. after the slope you will see some kampungs on your left and right. there’s a resort called “selesa hillhomes” with a very visible sign on your left too. when you see this, keep left and you will see an exit right ahead. exit and turn right. you will come to another small tunnel under the highway. after this tunnel, you will see a BHPetrol station.
the restaurant is behind the BHPetrol station.
oh saw that on the camera, no wonder like deja vu only.

OMG to the Green Chili!!!
I’d be afraid to swallow it (or even bring it close to my mouth) but knowing myself, I’m bound to try it because I think it’s an experience in itself. The food looks so good!!! The inverted umbrellas at the ceiling are also very fascinating!
Your blog is a wonderful place to spend time at! Keep writing and more power!!!
For once, your food post makes me feel like throwing my packet of economy rice and go out eat something nice. Bah!
sarah: initially i thought the green chilli would be spicy. but they took out the insides, and to my surprise it was very delicious!
jason: for once? FOR ONCE?!?!?!?! HMPPPPHHHHHHHH
From what I know there are two types of green chillies: the type that turns red eventually and the type that will never turn red. The former is hot and the latter is not hot, somemore crunchy and is a preferred choice to make stuffed chillies. In Chinese they call this “Cui jiao”. Apparently they served you the latter.
seems yummy. is this halal restaurant? or is it chinese restaurant.
Three good dishes, but the ones that were popular were out of stock. Given our high expectation coming all the way from far, we were asked by the waiter to wash our own wine glass, sort our own vegetables. We totally shocked of this appalling service. After more one hour waiting, the food finally came. The first dish redeemed the horrible attitude we received. For all the foodie out there, manage your expectation. Few specialties if not “out of stock” were worth the wait.
Honestly, the people who regular here must be either very loyal or fools. The 1 hour 20 minute long wait was complete appalling to me, and when I complained to the staff he simply answered, “Memang like that one lah”. With the prices of this restaurant comparable to those Michelin 3 star restaurants in Hong Kong, I was expecting food that would indeed be from a different kettle of fish(no pun intended). Instead, when the food came it was only ordinary dishes, nothing that really blew me away. More so, the setting of the restaurant was horribly appalling, although the wine glasses on the side might make for some eye candy, the insufficient lighting and inadequate protection from flies and mosquito proved to be disappointing. Truthfully speaking, the food was actually quite good, but not something where you can’t get in a normal restaurant in KL, therefore not worth the 45 minute drive all the way to Bukit Tinggi.
To sum it up, although this restaurant has several good dishes, the appallingly poor service, long wait and poor setting proved to outweigh the quality of food served there.
This entry was written in 2009. Perhaps things have changed since.
Gd food
but horrible attitude 
Strongly do not recommend this restaurant. Nothing special about the food and service is lousy. The boss is arrogant and has no manners towards customer. The boss forced us to order 4 dishes, saying that if we didn’t order enough or order now, he will not entertain us after the first round of order. He mentioned he will only take 1 round of order. Waited for 45 mins for my food to be served and other people who came later than us with no booking already got their food served. Probably we didn’t order expensive stuff hence the service rendered to us was sub standard. We originally ordered 1 Wu Li Dan Dou Fan for 2 persons, 1 BBQ lamb rack and 1 plate of green chillies. The boss insist not enough for both of us and we have no choice but to accept his recommendation for their specialty tauhu. When the foods were served after long wait, it was way too much. We were too full and in the end, we can’t finish it and wasted the tauhu. Anyway, nothing is special about food especially the tauhu, they are just steamed and topped with fried eggs. Price is so expensive and it’s really not worth it. Pls go somewhere else for food if u happens to be at Bukit Tinggi, this restaurant is definately not recommended. Trust me..
