Oriental - Al Fujayrah

We had dinner here around 8pm, and were the only guests. The restaurant has this vibe not unlike some rural, out of the way joints I 'd come across from my home country(also, one I wouldn 't take my family to). There was loud, blaring Tagalog from the TV in the corner, and offerings included items like adobo and bulalo. Like some restaurants I 've seen in my time here, they 've started leaning away from their original offerings to try and net from a wider customer base. You do what you can to survive, right? Not that many Malaysians/Singaporeans/Chinese are here in Fujairah anyhoos. The waiter was slow to take our order, in spite of what I said earlier about us being the only guests. I saw her taking orders from the phone, and rather than waiting to get screwed with delayed food I just gave her an earful about how we 're here now and my food had better come first, ahead of the phone-ins. She made good on that. 15 minutes in, all the food(3 dishes) came at the same time. I 'm sure having three cooks(I counted them while they were sitting around watching the TV) helped. Now, the food. Overall, the salt and umami was about there, but the spice levels have been toned down greatly. Again, likely to cater to regional palates. The nasi goreng kampung had soy sauce in it, and was missing the cili padi. So, not very kampung. But the taste was okay. As for the fried stuff, they cut the protein with more flour than they should. The calamari was still okay(it was in fact the best of the three), but my shrimp omelette should be renamed to bread with little shrimp chunks fried in egg batter . I don 't expect ANY flour in my omelette to he honest. Still, for the prices they ask, can 't complain too much. Here in the the UAE if you pay a lot, you may be ripped off, but if you 're paying less.. you 're pretty much getting what you paid for, no more. I 'm still intrigued by the menu, but the dine-in experience is terrible(does explain why we 're the only guests). Might phone in an order next time I 'm around.

The Chinese food is good but they serve a very small serving.

This afternoon we pampered with authentic Malaysian and Chinese cuisine at this humble but secret place. The food tasted great and the prices were reasonable. Owners are very friendly and hospitable. If you enter your order, please specify to the host whether you want authentic spicy or tinted version of the record.

Came here at 7:00 and they started. Ordered the Cangkung Belacan, Yeow Kau steam fish and clay pot taufu all very good and has good Chinese wok hei. Price is very cheap and all cash. Very recommended and will be back as this comfort is food.

Very delicious food and wonderful service. Price and time for the food was also on site! Many vegetarian options. Great job guys!
