Holawest Dungun - Western galore!

Assalammualaikum & Holla!!

Looking for western food in Dungun?? well personally i would highly recommend to go to Holawest. Its not a fancy western restaurant like Crocs Farm in Kuantan (semi fancy hehe) in term of its premise. its just a simple "warong" or hut near by beach like any other local warong along pantai Teluk Lipat.

However it serves very fine western food which normally can be found in any established western restaurant. The common menu such Burger, Roti John, all sort of pasta, grill beef and chicken are available almost every day. In addition, they also have special menu which been change on weekly basis....a bit pricey than their every day menu and its all about luck haha

I do like their drinks...cheap and unique taste. they mix carbonated drinks with fruit cordial and serve it in a jar instead of glass...i normally will share with my wife, RM 5 per jar.

For those who are coming from Kemaman or Kuantan.....drive heading to UITM Dungun. After UITM you will reach T-Junction where by Hotel Uitm on your right, Golf course on your left and pantai Teluk Lipat at the front. Take left and drive straight for about 5 minits, drive slowly as the warong is located on the left side of the road without proper signage. At night, you have to spot "holawest" light sign in Red color.

Its normally open from Sunday to Thursday. Operating hour is from 6 PM onwards. I've only been there thrice, because most of the time that i came without calling them first....they were close! so ya...you better call them 1st at 0132516001.

Sorry i have no picture of the place or the foods because i've 2 kids so its not easy to handle them and thus no time to take photo haha

Btw, i am not the owner of Holawest, i don't even know who are them....i heard the owner is a lecturer at UiTM, teaching culinary.....make sense. I am just happy to share because to me they are such a fantastic cook!

So....hope its help and happy eating!

Mohd Chan - chinese muslim restaurant

Assalammualaikum..

Nihau? Haha tetiba mood cakap mandarin kan. Btw, sempena Gong Xi Fa Cai ni aku balek kampung. Tg Krg ni dekat je dgn Kuala Selangor and KS plak mmg famously known for its seafood restaurants.

Cuma masalahnya mostly operated by non muslim and ada kepala rimau so aku tak berani nak try. Sebab tu tiap kali org luar tanya aku pasal seefood di KS, aku tak bg komen sebab had never try pun.

Kalini kira bertuah sebab dh ada buka sebuah restoran cina muslim, Mohd Chan nama dia...comel kan?  Mcm Jacky Chan masuk islam je bunyinya.

Restoran ni baru je buka kat new shop lot building yg located behind McD tu. Easy to spot bcoz dari jln besar tu dh clear nampak signboardnya. Based on carian foursquare, ada byk dh branch. KS ni kira the newest.

Ok. Jom review pasal restoran ni plak ek. We were warmly greeted by bro Mohd Chan himself, friendly and polite. Parking pun considered easy at night bcoz neighboring stores are all closed. Single storey je so quite pack, mujur dtg awal. Better call and make reservation so that u dun have to wait quite long to get ur food ready.

About the food. We ordered food that we seldomly eat only, the menu variety is good but mostly similar to any other malay restaurant.

Roasted duck - nice taste but slightly overcooked and hence dried.

Chili Crab - most wanted menu, i've been craving for it since ages! Dunno where to find it..yg sure halal. Tq Mohd Chan..finally i found it. Sedapppp. Tu je nk cakap. Ketam fresh n byk isi.

Four season - ni ala2 platter la. Inside the plate ada 4 dishes yg hot, cold, and other 2 tu x sure what season hehe. Sedap baby octopus dgn sesame sos. Udang with mayonnaise. Scramble egg with mushrooms and 1 more dish yg i did not try.

That's it! Sayang dim sum habes so tak dapat cuba.

Overall, puas hati and maybe will come again in future.

Selamat mencuba!
