Meng Meng Roasted Duck opened a new branch in Johor Bahru's City Square Mall, near to Thai Odyssey. The place is quite big, the interior is of oriental style, and ample space in-between tables. I was there at some very odd hours, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon on Christmas Day itself. There was no dinner crowd yet.
The menu is quite extensive, with dishes catering to both big groups of people or patrons who like to dine alone, like me.
I ordered their roasted duck drumstick set meal, plus a bowl of logan with sea coconut as dessert.
Roasted Duck Drumstick Set Meal, RM18.80+

The presentation was not bad. The duck drumstick was placed in a duck-shape white plate. It looked so cute. The drumstick was juicy and tender. There wasn't a very strong Dang-gui, a Chinese herb, smell. There was just a slight hint of it in the gravy, it would suit those who don't like strong herb smell. The fragrance from roasting was very pleasant, and the skin was quite thin and crispy.
Longan with Sea Coconut, RM8.80+
Sea coconut has the effect of smoothing your body in Chinese medicine, and to avoid getting your body to be too heaty, so it was just nice to have this after a heaty Roasted Duck meal. Sweetness of the dessert came mostly from the sea coconut, so it wasn't sinfully sweet.
The total bill came out to be RM30.35, I think it is pretty decent for a meal in an air-conditioned restaurant, and the food was not bad at all. It is good that this branch is at City Square Mall, which is close to Malaysia's CIQ to Singapore, and counts many Singaporeans as its patrons.
