Started this thread after can”t find much opinion on JB”s foods.

JB”s people like to eat duck because a lot of Teo Chew”s descendants among the Chinese community locally. Hence 1st location going to suggest JB”s Baliban Braised Duck 八哩半卤鸭 .


Must order braised duck.


Braised pork knuckle , also another signature dish.


Braised mix organ ( intestine, tongue, ear & egg)





Bean curb


Duck horfun





Don’t ask me the pricing , I contributed by eating only this round 😄.

looks good? how's the taste?

that's popular(same as that noodle fish ball) but not for my tastebud, but uncle roger might love it though(as always the M**)

i would drive 5minutes away(Tun Aminah area), eat abalone bee hoon soup or bitter guard soup better, or a cafe that serve nice burger & pasta....

15minutes away get you claypot BKT(clear soup but not SG peppery type), laksa(curry noodle), ayam penyet(original taste)

further away another very popular laksa(curry noodle), claypot BKT(black soup), ikan bakar(stingray), bitter guard soup, hokkien porridge and many more

you need try ask ask locals(i mean true local), all above in business more than 20 year(except ayam penyet), some i never been their shop before but my ex colleague tapau(ate many times) for me....

It was good. Among all the dishes , the pork knuckle the most flavourful (8.5/10)

The other dishes , duck & mix organ , the flavour not so heavy (7/10).

The horfun (8/10).

I felt the MSG content not heavy , I’m sensitive toward MSG & usually will feel very thirsty for water if the food contain excessive amount of MSG, after the meal , surprisingly I didn’t felt any thirst for water.

BKT don’t want , Klang & Kepong got so many BKT, no need go all the way to JB to waste the quota 😄. I’m interested in the abalone bihun soup near HSA , what is the shop name ? Google map is showing Ah Piaw @ Taman Sri Tebrau, it is not near HSA.

2nd place to fill the stomach quota for today was at Restoran Ah Meng @ JB.


See the sign board, must order the signature wok fried bihun.


SanLou Bihun, close eye order only.


Got enough wok hei.


Best eaten hot, don’t let it get cold.



Clay pot salted fish pork belly


Red snapper fish head curry


Signature tofu - I think so so only .


French bean - also average this one.

The above average were the bihun, curry fish head & pork belly.

Don’t ask me the price , other ppl pay I eat only.

Ah Meng used to be really good and one of my favourite restaurants. Unfortunately, I feel that their standard has dropped a lot....

Their kam heong fish slices is still quite good though.

Thank you for the feedback, I’ll keep that for the future revisit. Not going back so soon, got other places to go to fill the daily food quota.

In between Ah Meng vs Ah Kaw, which one is better in your opinion ? Got ppl told me Ah Kaw is the oldest outlet offering such dishes.

ah kaw also selling the similar san lou mee hoon
food should be quite similar

Don’t waste time with JB’s food. Nothing great in JB.

Hahaha, don’t say like that. Pity me abit, I have to go to JB quite frequent for many moons to come .

No good food also need to go eat the best out of the “nothing great” options .

3rd places - Restoran Woon Kian for the Kueh Tiau Kia (local name, actually it was a hor fun soup + braised meat).

















Spend RM 44 for 2 pax dine in. Average about 22/pax for dinner. Food taste - the hor fun & the cuttlefish cake tasted good only. Other only average but just don”t know why the crowd so big.

Some simple Wantan Curry Mee meal at We We Kopitiam @ Ulu Tiram. Tried also their steam bun & kopi pheng.



The Curry Wantan Mee was good - flavour enough & coconut milk creamy enough - rated 8.5/10.









Steam bun & kopi was slightly above average , not enough to give lasting impression.

Woon Kiang is really popular with locals & Sinkies because it is inexpensive and portions are quite big. Friday/Sat/Sun might have long queues due to the influx of Sinkies.
But yeah, I agree that the taste is only so-so.

Best Kuay Teow Kia in JB is still Hai Wan (aka Neptune), in Taman Pelangi, Jalan Sri Pelangi, two shops away from a 7-Eleven.
Their kuay teow is smooth and has great texture.
The pig skin/egg is well braised, much tastier.
Tofu is silky smooth, can't find it anywhere else.
Lean meat or pork belly doesn't have the "pork" smell.
It is considerably more expensive than Woon Kiang, but tastes much better (imo).

Thanks , will keep this location for the next round of outstation visit.

Nearby Hai Wan, there is one restaurant named Sze Zai Hiong, they said eat shark fish . What is your opinion on this ? I haven’t visit yet .

Also got some contractors said if want to drink kopi at JB must go Ulu Tiram drink kopi. Claimed Ulu Tiram kopi the best in JB & kaw enough but didn’t give me any shop name . Got any insight on the location?

I've been to Sze Zai Hiong a number of times, but never eaten shark there. My family members usually order their signature deep fried tilapia (非洲魚) in sauce, I'm not a fan of tilapia though. I just eat the stir-fry dishes like vege and meat etc. The food is not bad, it's quite a popular place. Air-conditioned and clean.


I'm pretty sure I know which Ulu Tiram coffee shop those contractors are referring to. Sunshine Coffee (previously known as Sunshine Kopitiam)
1, Jalan Beladau 19,Taman Puteri Wangsa, 81800 Ulu Tiram,Johor

There's a stall selling nice HK style chee cheong fun (char siew/prawns/mixed). The kopi-C, teh-C and toast are good. Wantan mee is ok.

Previously, they used to be in a old and big corner lot kopitiam. The food/drink was REALLY good then.
Some years back they moved to a newer and smaller shop. Food standard seems to have dropped. Maybe my taste buds are demanding.

Thanks for your reply. Will take note on the Sunshine Coffee on my next trip.

Sorry bro😅 I mean JB nothing stands out but still good good food to eat everyday. Still got many very very nice place.

This looks very good actually😍

Visited Sunshine Kopitiam. Ordered the Laksa (Curry Mee), half boil eggs, Kopi Peng , toast.















Laksa - 7/10, I tasted better one before.
Kopi - 7/10, I tasted better one before.
Half Boiled Eggs - 9/10
Kaya Butter toast - 6/10

Above average but not enough to give lasting impression.
