Visited 17 Mar 2016.

During our road trip to Desaru, we dropped by Jade Garden for lunch... cos it's a pretty popular and recommended seafood place when you visit Desaru. The seafood restaurant was very easy to find, and driving in Desaru is quite easy... not many roads, and very simple to drive... but do look out for the potholes on the roads.

So here we were at Jade Garden... the place is huge. We flipped through the menu and I was quite disappointed... the price was on the high end... not cheap one. And my bad for not doing my research properly, and not knowing to order the lobster. We ordered kangkong, lala, poached prawns and deep fried baby sotong. We had to wait really long for the deep fried baby sotong too cos the cook was overwhelmed. Only the poached prawns was ok... the rest so-so only. This place is over-rated and we left disappointed... will not visit this place again.
