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 ?

This morning dropped by for breakfast at Mok Gao Beef @ Kulai. An adjacent town to JB around 20min drive away.

Tried their dry version of mix beef organ & tendon.

Taste : 8/10
Price : 8/10
Ambient : 6.5/10 ( they operates in new village houses).

Total cost around RM 18 for the dry & soup option.

59 was ikan bakar at Tebrau market , then they venture into the mee soup
the mee soup they open beside ah piao wtm, is it possible he mistook it as ah piao
those days they are side by side, with tables sharing on the roadside
ah piao wtm was supplied by Yick hoe those days until ah piao sales shoot up till not enough mee I heard, then they produce their own
ah piao has quite a few branches after that, but then u know la, with branches dy the main shop hype slow down already

another old school wtm is ho Seng Kee, but They upmarket dy , shift to city square
those days need to wait 90 minutes for a bowl of wtm at the old shop, crazy

I always ate at Ho Seng Kee at the old shop too! It was sometimes a 30~40 min wait in the morning around 8~8.30, didn't encounter 90 mins before.

Ate a few times at City Square, it started at 10.90, but it's really pricey now, one bowl is 14 I think. Haven't been there since.

Hi!

Any good fried rice to recommend? (Non-halal)

So far I only tried Sohai in Skudai (always sold out when I reach) and Kedai Ta Wah (in Johor Jaya)...

Thanks!

Personally not a big fan of fried rice, but my family likes the one from Meng Kitchen.

29, Jalan Keris 1, Taman Sri Tebrau, 80050 Johor Bahru, Johor

The food there is pretty good. Also has popular dishes like KL style black noodles, yam ring, fried sotong etc.

Looks good!

Kulai is considered pretty far for me, and unfamiliar. Will try if I go somewhere nearby like Johor Premium Outlets.

It is just a neighboring town not that far bro. The other day, I went to Pontian to look for pineapple. Surprising to know now Pontian is current pineapple town vs the old Pekan Nenas town in the geography & history book long time ago.

Yes, it is at Jalan Serampang, Pelangi. The bakery is downstairs, with a small area for cafe seating. The Lavender restaurant L. Cafe, is up the stairs on the left after you enter the main door.

The restaurant is pricey and has (had? not sure whether they still enforce it) a minimum one food order per customer policy.

Seems like the policy, which led to a lot of complaints, was added by the owner's daughter, who happens to be my ex-classmate from primary school.

I think that policy still applies hahahha
and the food if u want to eat at the cafe downstairs, u need to takeaway from upstairs hahahah
need to pay extra for tapao too

one of the reason I did not really went to L cafe was because of that policy

Kedai Makan Jadi Baru Botak (JB Botak Asam Fish)

(This image was taken from Google)

This traditional shop operated by the Chinese owner but all races are coming to dine in. Can see the photo of TMJ when he was young & grown up taken with the owner of the restaurant being displayed on the wall with a few other famous politician. They didn't serve pork & employed muslim staffs.

The assam fish in my opinion was acceptable slightly above average but the one so memorable was their fried senangin fish. The fried senangin appearance was below average in presentation but the moment you put it into your mouth, wah! so flavorful & crispy.

This one ppl brought me go eat , don't ask me how much.
