Last last , decided to walk into Oh Yeah Noodle House within the close proximity. Too hungry already to look for alternative.

The menus offered looked like Penang”s Street food. Tried the Prawn Noodle with pork ribs, priced at RM 14.90/ bowl.

Tasted above average , it was good but just cannot beat Johnny”s Prawn Mee @ Subang Bestari. Rated aroud 8/10.

I had this same greenish herbal drink when I ate there once! It was extremely sweet and tasted quite weird. Didn't go back there since.

It is called “eight treasures tea” a.k.a “ba bao cha” , one of the Chinese herbal tea variant. Coz morning already took the Johor”s laksa , need to cool down the body with the herbal tea. You can request for less sugar.

Now for some list that I think not worth the value.

Tepian Tebrau , night time for grilled fish @ ikan bakar. I was being told that the crowds was no where during their prime before the MCO.

When we reached there, there were a few promoters standing on the road trying to promote their stalls. Got to know the Tip Top stall is the best( unfortunately sold out) & stall no.30 is the second best.

Decided to go for the stall no.30 for the stingray grill. Picked 2 pieces of stingray cuts. The selling prive was RM 9.50/ 100g @ RM95/kg ( eating gold…😅). Since not me paying, hantam saja la.

The taste = 8.5/10. Above average & nice . The price , at RM 95/kg for pari, confirm this one is top rated tourist trap price.

I know of this place but never eaten there, cos mum says it is expensive, her friend runs a dessert stall there.

For stingray I normally have it at Cedar Point, there are two stalls. Should be a bit cheaper. I think in general stingray is just expensive now.

Another addition to the list that I think not worth the value.

Seafood at Senimbong, Permas Jaya, JB. Last time this place was full of seafood restaurants, now only 3 operators remaining.

Food taste acceptable , freshness was below average. The price very obvious to slaugther tourists & Singaporean.

The only good thing on this location is the nice sea view facing Singapore. Average around RM 40-50/ pax.

I just tried this seafood restaurant at Impian Emas a week ago.

Restoran Shan Ming Impian Emas - 124866, Jalan Selatan Utama, Taman Impian Emas, 81300 Skudai, Johor

Had two servings of mud crabs, one kam heong and one black pepper. Quite fresh and well done. Also ordered a lot of other assorted dishes. Yam ring was nice.

Not cheap but I feel it was reasonably priced. Overall the food was pretty good, worth trying if you are nearby.

A few years ago they opened a branch in Pelangi very near my house, and it was a good competitor to San Lou restaurant one street away, but COVID struck and the business didn't survive, they went under.

Thanks for the wantan mee outlet recommendation. So happened that we were talking about famous wantan mee that only operates at night time at JB since 20 years ago. Got any idea about this ?

I didn't know about this one until my sister told me this HW wantan mee is one of Singaporeans' favourite. Went to try it last month and it is not bad.

Same here, never eaten wantan mee for dinner and I don't go out for supper, so I'd never find out about this place normally.

They open at 6 PM until 1~2 AM iirc.

On the second look at the photos from Google, the wantan resembles the Foo Chow's kampua, even the wantan looks more like foo chow "bien nyuk". This stall operated by a Foo Chow's descendant from Sarawak ?
