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.

I went to the branch at Taman Sentosa this morning, it was a corner shop lot. Unfortunately it was closed.

Any other eatery like this? Not the tourist trap. A lot places here already get used to pancung Singaporean”s.

Don”t get me wrong. Tai Hong is worth the value & the foods is great ( not a tourist trap).

What I means was the other locations. Later I will post some example with the food prices & the quality 😅.

Thanks for the recommendation , will make the effort to visit all the locations stated.

Maju Jaya/Newspaper Street

Otak Shiduoli (Storey, they used to be at Jln Storey), their nasi lemak, mee siam and otak is quite good. They open very early, around 7.30~8?

Soon Chiang BKT, dark soup type. They also have pig stomach pepper soup. Pretty good, I come here for lunch sometimes.

Yi Bao mee hoon kueh, another popular lunch destination, they are usually packed, and close by 4+ They have various types of noodles to choose from, I like the "you mian".

Ka Ka (Jia Jia) dim sum, pretty generic dim sum, can find better ones.

KTK, I don't like it because it has the "porky" smell, but some people like my cousin prefer it.

Further down the street (away from Plaza Pelangi) there is also a beef noodle store run by a China lady, it's not bad too, eaten there a few times.

Nasi lemak? which post you are referring to? Permas Jaya? I saw the seafood only, no nasi lemak la.

I just clarified the with the person who told me about the wantan mee with 20+ years history. According to the source, no, it is not the one. It is Woon Five Nine. My source told me he used to travel to JB when he was young. Will patron the that wantan mee at night.

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 fish and chips to recommend in Johor Bahru?
I only know of Edwards, Fish & Co, Manhatten Fish Market and George and Dragons.

Any other eateries to recommend?

Thanks!

Hi,

The Lavender is it situated in Taman Pelangi? Near Giant Pelangi?

Thanks! =)

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.

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.

My crazy work-related associates keep telling me every day that JB wantan mee is amazing, and that Klang Valley's wantan mee no way to match. Sibeh beh tahan—I finally gave in and followed them to try the JB version.

Lol, so previously was inflated or something changed to your eye sight?

Go eat wantan mee, you all go there for other reason.

Lol, why is the JB's people so proud of their wantan mee?  They even come to Klang Valley and ask if there is any good wantan mee ! unbelievable
