Retro Chinese Resto on CNY

Where – Cathay Restaurant (Kulai) Address - PTD 65010，Jalan, Persiaran Sri Putri Utama, 81000 Kulai, Johor, Malaysia Ambience – full-fledged Chinese restaurant setup with ample parking space Price per pax – ~RM80 Rating - **** Opening Hours – 1100-1500hrs & 1730-2230hrs Finally got to do CNY visitation to my relatives in Johor and there are a few eateries which we miss and one of them is Cathay Restaurant in Kulai. It is just under an hour from Tuas Checkpoint which is quite convenient. The restaurant serves traditional restaurant grade menu with their set menu typically have 9-course. The restaurant is huge which can host up to 100 tables. Still recall attending a wedding dinner there 20 years ago. There is ample parking space and I saw many Singapore-plated cars there too. While their chefs have come and go, the Head Chef is still the same dishing up high-quality dishes with great authentic taste. I’m glad the restaurant did not succumb to the pressure of Covid lockdown the last 3 years. The restaurant was so crowded when were there and we have to wait more than an hour for the dishes to be served. It is worth the wait. We hope to visit them again during off festive period as we enjoy the occasional banter from the restaurant owner as he walks around the tables for a few chats. #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #kulai #johor #chineserestaurant
