Meat
At last, my wife has found a great meat supplier in Johor....
Lucky Frozen (Johor) in Tampoi, JB.
It's a wholesaler so you need to buy in bulk (sort of).
My wife bought 5kg of "D-Rump", chilled, (good for Roast) for MYR 126.
3kg Rib-eye for MYR 163.
Lamb Shoulder, 1.5kg for MYR 40
Plus some smoked salmon, frozen fruit etc.
I don't know how good the prices are because I don't do much food shopping, but we cut the D-Rump into joints and had a roast today.... absolutely delicious (from Aussie).
They have a lot of choice, with beef from Aussie, NZ, Brazil etc., chicken, lamb, fish, fruit etc. No pork though.
I have the phone number if anyone wants to PM me.
PS... we have no business links with this firm, just thought others might have been having a hard time finding good meat too!

Re: Meat
Always good to find a meat supplier you are happy with.
But those prices???
You can buy meat similar to what you've listed from Cold Storage here in Singapore for lower prices. And from the local wet market at much lower prices.
IIRC the Cold Storage ina couple of the Malls in JB and Giant have meat at lower prices than that.
I like looking around at the meat and fish in supermarkets and wet markets just to see what is available so I hope my recollection of JB meat prices is correct.
AH just re read your post and you are not referring to the price per kilo.
Forget I ever posted
Oh and unfortunately you aren't able to bring meat across the Causeway otherwise I'd be up buying from your supplier.

Re: Meat
Geedee, I realise that Johor is not Penang island, but..... we have a similar frozen meat store here run by Indians. It says no pork but, if you ask very quietly, the nice Indian lady leads you to the back of the shop and....voila
Obviously goes without saying, only try this if the owners are Chinese or Indian.
Are there no wet markets down your way? We get very nice fresh chicken (and pork) from the wet market here.

Re: Meat
Surprised you can get fresh lamb. There are lambs in Malaysia not too many different ways to joint a chicken, so much easier.
That sounds like a great price on beef
