Uncle Koh vs Grandpapatee Wanton Mee in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah Skudai
Even though Johor Bahru is originally a Teochew enclave, hence its nickname Little Swatow, there are actually more wanton mee stalls than Teochew kway teow mee / thng stalls (based on my observation). And, Johoreans are spoilt for choice as Johor wanton mee standards are high with many stalls / restaurants still making their own noodles.
Wanton noodles, of course, is a quintessentially Cantonese dish.

When in Guangzhou or Shunde right... If not going for street food stalls, then the natural choice for breakfast would be yum cha i.e. morning tea. So, we had several yum cha sessions during our seven day Guangzhou & Shunde food tour. Of these, I like Xiang Yun Sha in Shunde the most.

As a typical Singaporean, I am always on the lookout for good chicken rice places. I mean chicken rice stalls are everywhere in Singapore, they are generally at least okay to good, but we customers have become very picky and demanding 🤭😬
