At the Ramadan buffet dinner, I was lucky enough to meet Chef Adu. He is a very humble and knowledgeable chef and we chatted for over 20 minutes on Johor food.

The uniqueness of Westin Desaru Coast Resort Ramadan Buffet GANDINGAN CITARASA AIR TANGAN CHEF ADU is his signature Johor food that you cannot find in Kuala Lumpur. Two of his signature Johor dishes include Laksa Johor and Mee Bandung Maharani.

Johor Laksa

The Johor Laksa is rather unique. Instead of the usual laksa, it comes with thick gravy made of ‘Ikan parang, Ikan Kurau’ and Prawn flesh. According to Chef Adu, Johorians eat this with hands and hence the gravy is thick with noodles. The Johor Laksa comes with the fragrant of spices and gravy that will offers you something different than the usual laksa.

Mee Bandung Maharani also slightly different than the usual mee bandung. It comes with lots of flavours if you pick all the ingredients. This is a must try.
