I've been visiting JB (and Yong Peng, Batu Pahat, etc) on weekends trying out your recommendations one by one, and have to say most are indeed delicious. The abundance of "hand-made" food items are also a welcome contrast to Singapore's largely factory-mass-produced fare. And the prices... so much value for money once you factor in the exchange rates(although our Malaysian friends may rant that Singaporeans are exploiting their weak currency). Keep up the great work on your awesome blog. <br /><br />If I could suggest 1 minor change to your blog: please move your search box up to the top of the page where it is easy to find and use, instead of being hidden among a wall of text halfway down your posts.<br /><br />-chriszzzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564826827484078485.post-48622313706855361802016-06-13T11:55:57.525+08:002016-06-13T11:55:57.525+08:00Thank you Chris for the update.

I am from KL, so I've definitely tasted KL "Sang Har Mee" before, but the "Sang Har Mee" by this restaurant is indeed special and appropriately priced. Except for the food, I would like to point out that the female owner is very generous and friendly; not only did they give a lot of rice (because usually restaurants would give less than a small bowl of rice), they also served a decent amount of meat per serving. Unfortunately I didn't manage to meet Mr Hui. Their salted egg chicken is highly recommendable!<br /><br />I would like to thank Mr. Tony for recommending this restoran and sharing it in the blog; otherwise, we've wouldn't be able to try it out.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />KeithKeithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-564826827484078485.post-50602912364530000762014-06-14T21:17:28.531+08:002014-06-14T21:17:28.531+08:00Dear Tony ,

Sang har mee was very very smoothing and a special feel was to it when i tried it. At the same time i also enjoy the special 4pax set meal Suggested by Mr hui which only cost RM45 .<br /><br /> i would also recommend other Johorians to try it too!

I was reading from my smartphone. Anyway, if indeed they serve 180-200 gm Big Head Prawn in each plate of Sang Har Meen to ordinary customers like me who patronise the outlet, and not just specifically to a food blogger, then I could say it is fair price. <br />With regard to the Penang char kuey teow with 4-5 big prawns, let me just clarify for the sake of your readers that the big prawns are like those XL size prawns that you buy at Tesco or wet market, in case one may start to imagine them to be "BIG" prawns. In JB, i pay RM 4.50 for a plate of char kuey teow with a few scrawny prawns and hum thrown in. Even in Ipoh, I don't find the same value as I have found in Penang. I happened to chanced upon these 2 char kuey teow stalls last week in Penang. you won't find them in any food blogger blogs but indeed the locals would know. One stall is at the corner kopitiam at the foothill of Kek Lok Si Temple, opposite 7-Eleven, while the other one is along Jalan Penang. Sorry I am not a food blogger so I do not bother to remember the name of the kopitiam or stalls. I just know where to find them the next time i go back to penang.
