The Roast House has a nice and inviting typical oriental restaurant facade.The internal ambience is modern, clean and cozy.The BBQ Pork Rice is one of the their signature dishes. It is not only filling but very tasty too. The BBQ pork has a layer of fat and roasted with a slight char at the edges thus making it crunchy, succulent and juicy too. It has a sweet taste and slightly burned aroma. I recommend this dish which is good value at RM8.90.The BBQ Pork is excellent and the noodle is thin, springy and crunchy. The soya sauce and other ingredients used to toss the noodle are a good mixture making the taste yummy. I recommend this dish too which also good value at RM8.90 too.The Ipoh Hor Fun does not meet similar standard of that found at Low Wong in Ipoh. Price at RM7.90 per bowl.The Meat Platter is an excellent choice if you like to sample the variety of roasted meat. The roast pork is great. It has a layer of fat and the skin is extremely crispy and aromatic when chewed on. The BBQ meat here is lean with no fat certainly for the health conscious but not taste wise. So if you are ordering this dish, ask for BBQ pork with some fat! The roast duck and roast chicken are okay. RM48.90 for 3-5 pax.Shrimp and Pork Wanton Soup. The wanton are large and meaty and quite tasty. RM9.90 for 6.The Hakka Noodle is passable. I found the minced pork a bit salty and the noodle not springy and crunchy enough. RM6.90 per bowl.

The various food items for the steamboat. They include fresh prawns, fish noodles, fish balls, quail eggs, meat balls, fu chuk with fish paste, sotong rolls, crab sticks, fish slices, vege fish balls, taufu, cuttlefish, corn, mukyee and a variety of vegetables. There is also yeemee, beehoon and eggs. All items are fresh. Price per person is RM16.80The steamboat has 2 compartment, you can have a choice of a variety of soups. We chose porridge and clear herbal soup. This is my first with porridge. It is excellent.A dish of drunken prawn. The prawns are soaked in a mixture of 3 types of wine; white, rice and siew hing. It is very favourful. This when added into the clear soup made the soup very tasty. The prawns were fresh, sweet and crunchy. I strongly recommend this dish.The fish slices are succulent and very tasty when added into the porridge.The frog meat tasted sweet too and made the porridge very delicious.This is my first experience eating pork slices in porridge. You should try this. It is excellent.You should ask for this satay sauce which has a unique taste with crunchy peanuts and very spicy.This is Mr TaiTao, the owner. He is a very friendly guy. He goes round to entertaint his customers from table to table.

Overall, I recommend TaiTao Steamboat for its favourful soups, fresh food items and his friendliness. The kitchen is clean too. At the price it is good value.

German Pork Knuckle - Crispy skin and juicy meat. The meat is well seasoned with aromatic spices. Big serving good for 2. Served with vegetables and fries. A variation of crispy pork knuckle is found at Hakka restaurant behind Pavillion Shopping Center at Bukit Bintang. While you are there you should try the Beehoon Fried with Crab.German Sausage Platter - 3 types of yummy sausages. I like the smokey peppery and cheesy ones. The sausages are served with BBQ sauce, fries, baked potatoes and vegetables. Very big serving. Definately for 2 or 3 persons.BBQ Ribs - They are are well seasoned and grilled Texan or Mexican style. I find both very delicious and the meat very succulent. Grilled Pork Belly - Sweetish plus just enough fat to make it juicy. It is yummy! Carbonara Spaghetti n Bacon - Very creamy with crispy bacon. Grilled Ham Steak - Very juicy and tasty. Served on heap of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Deserts - Strawberry n Kiwifruit Puddings, Muffin n Ice Cream. I tried the last and they were good combination!Meaty products for sale - !0% discount for diners! You like what you eat? Buy the meat home to cook.

The servings are generally large. They will satisfy most big eaters especially if you also try the muffin and ice cream. You may then not have room for salads and soup.

The meats are all very fresh direct from the factory owned by the restaurant owner. Vegetables are fresh too. You should try the soups which I find very creamy and tasty.

Besides they always have promotions like Mother's day special for 2 at RM49.90 only. I think you can still celebrate a belated Mother's day. Your mum would like the pork belly!

So look out for Father's Special next month.

By the way, you know why the name Juro? Say it in Mandarin? You got it. I would have prefered Porky Restaurant ! Haha!

The Meaty (that is the brand!) products are also found in any large hypermarket eg Tesco.

Do drop by the restaurant. I am sure you will find it very satisfying. A Made-in-Malaysia Geman Restaurant! Auf Wiedersehen!

The basic ingredients of Nyonya cookings. Look at the mortar! Most with a granite rooling pin or pounder (a bowl and a pedestal). It is indeed a nostalgic sight.Windows on the ceiling! Many parts of a Nyonya house is found here. Here the window panels artfully hang on the ceiling. Very homely like The Food Republics on the top floor of Vivo City, Singapore.Pai Tee - The cups and condiments of chopped fried eggs, cucumbers and parsley, Seang Kuang (turnip), Chili and chili sauce.A finished product - Pai Tee DIY! The taste is as lovely as it looks. The the 'fine dining' of fried popiah!Fried Tenggiri steak with chili. The chili is sweetish with lots of chopped big oinions and garlic. The fish is fresh favourful.This Ayam Pongteh is quite unigue. It is indeed the Nyonya version of the common soya sauce chicken with potatoes. The taste is sweet and mildly spicy from keluak. The chicken and potatoes are soft but not soggy.Normally we have Bendi with sambal belachan. It is interesting to have keluah as garnishing. Keluah if you have never tasted before is very mildly like black bean paste and mildly spicy too.The Cincaluk Platter of fried chicken, prawn and sotong is my favourite. This is a variation of the items marinated with Nam Yee (fermented bean curd) or Guiness Stout. The items are crispy with hint of cincaluk and of course salty. Excellent to go with some cold beers!

Included in the menu is Stir Fried Sweet Potato Leave with keluah sambal. The keluah give this dish a unique taste as we are more familiar with the leave fried with sambal belacan.

Generally, it was a very unique and interesting dining experience as keluah is used in most of the dishes. Keluah ingredient is the specialty of Malaccan nyonya.
The restaurant is tastefully decorated with pieces from a normal Nyonya house. It is lovely and homely. The owner and host Ms Stephanie with a friendly and warm hospitality makes your dining a perfect evening.
Even the name of the restaurant has its unique origin but I am not going to tell you here. Haha! Please visit www.thetranquerah.com for the answer and more information.

Based on the above menu for 5 persons together with steamed rice and drinks, per head expenditure is about RM40.00.

Happy Dining at The Tranquerah!

It was indeed a fun night with the youngsters. The restaurant environment is family type dining. Eight dishes were tested. I found the Curry Mutton with Bread most tasty. Together with a bowl of rice and Chinese tea, one is expected to spend about RM18 per person which is good value. The details reviews are as follow:
1. Shark's Fin Soup with Crab Meat
Quite ordinary. Make sure you add in drops of black vinegar and it will then taste like authentic shark's fin soup!

2. Red Enzyme with Mushroom
Monkey mushroom is used. It has a meaty taste. The sauce is sweet and tangy sour. Interesting dish to try.

3.Asam Fish
Asam taste is obvious. The seaweed used to mimic the fish skin gives it a slight fish taste.

4.Butter Abalone Mushroom
A glass of beer or wine will be good for this dish. The fried mushrooms look like fried frog legs. They are crispy, aromatic and a little powdery. It also remind me of Fried Butter Prawn.

5.Fried Bean Curd with Fresh Mushroom
The tofu is home-made Japanese style and the mushroom is Lingzhi Mushroom. I like the tofu which is crispy on the outside but soft and smooth inside. The sauce taste like oyster sauce.

6.Curry Mutton with Bread.
I would certainly recommend this dish. For a moment, you would think you are eating real curry mutton but minus the fats! The curry powder is excellent. It is very aromatic.

7.Spinach in Herbal Sauce
Wolfberry is used to fried with spinach which lends it a sweetish taste. The spinach is very fresh. The sauce tasted herbal with a hint of tongkwei.

8.Fried Squids
This is their signature dish! It is really quite good. The vege ham, seaweed and golden needle mushrooms folded in making it looks and tasted like squid! Should try this!
