Master Tang Serves Original Crystal Jade Wanton Noodles at Hawker Price 鄧師傅鳳城面家

Back in the 1980s, my favourite Hong Kong style wanton noodle place in Singapore was in Centrepoint, at the lower ground level near to where Mak's Noodle is today. I love their stewed beef noodle and their special chili sauce. Then, I went away to live in Ang Moh Land for a few years. When I came back in 1990, this wanton noodle place (I don't know the name) was gone. So were a few other of my favourite makan places, but that will be another story.

After tasting boat noodles in Johor Bahru, I was eager to experience boat noodles in Thailand during my recent trip to Bangkok.

Chew Kee & Chiew Kee Soya Sauce Chicken Noodles 釗記廣東油雞麵

I used to get my soya sauce chicken noodle fix at Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken & Rice (aka Hawker Chan) until this happened - in July 2016, the good stall won the honour of being the world's first Michelin Starred hawker stall and the world's least expensive Michelin meal. We were extremely happy for Mr Chan the owner, but it also means that we have to wait one to two hours for our usual soya sauce chicken noodle fix 😂

I wanted to show Mark one of my favourite beef noodles in Johor Bahru but was a little disappointed when we arrived at the Din Kee 鼎记牛腩粉 stall in Restoran 101 (kopitiam) in Bukit Indah. Pei Yun, the lady boss was already washing up and closing the stall at 11:00am as they were sold out for day.

CLOSED Durian Cendol Southern in Johor Bahru JB

It's durian season and all too soon I am suffering from durian overdose. Too much sugar I am told warned and I can feel the effects in my body too. I have to stay off durians for a while, but with durians durians everywhere, the craving is getting to me. So, I turned to durian cendol - recalling that there is a street side stall in Johor Jaya Teratai that had been buzzing hot in social media.

新山必吃的榴莲珍多 (cendol). 碎冰, 红豆, 甜糯米, 香兰粉条, 凉粉, 椰糖加一整粒的榴莲.  虽然是甘榜榴莲, 甜上加苦甜, 味道很不错.  整体配合起来好好吃. 天气热的时候, 冰凉冰凉的特别好享受 😋 Jalan Teratai 73 (在 Plentong GIANT 附近). 12:00 noon to 6:00pm (Monday off).

Nasi Lemak in Johor Jaya Oktober Kopitiam 十月餐厅

Nasi lemak is an everyday staple in Singapore and Malaysia, but this beautiful nasi lemak at Oktober kopitiam 十月餐室 in Johor Bahru still stopped me in my tracks - it's like a piece of art, isn't it?

椰浆饭是大家所熟悉,  喜爱的平凡一道菜. 不过十月餐厅这家新开的小档口所卖的椰浆饭就有一点不平凡. 老板很用心地把简单的菜都准备得好漂亮又好吃. 真的是价廉物美.

Basilico Italian Restaurant in Johor Bahru Mount Austin

I was invited to visit Basilico Restaurant at Mount Austin (near the Austin Height Water Theme Park) in JB which specialises in Italian staples like pizza and pasta. I like this young, small restaurant as everything is made from scratch from fresh ingredients, so the food we tasted was delicious.

Famous JB 101 Firewokz at WCEGA Tower, Singapore 新山101小厨

As the name "Famous JB 101 Firewokz" suggests, they've basically transplanted a zhi char stall from Johor Bahru and set it up in the middle of an office complex in Bukit Batok, Singapore. And, perhaps because my blog is heng heng 兴兴 (luckily) called Johor Kaki, they invited me to a media tasting 😂
