✍️23 May 2026. HJ Wahid mee rebus is the most famous and oldest of Johor mee rebus.
Founder Basid Ali Karam Ali or Wak Baidali started selling mee rebus in 1918, near the Balai Zaharah Building and around Kampung Air Molek in Johor Bahru.
I sometimes lament to my friends about how much I miss that magical mee rebus of my childhood.
When I was a child, I lived in old Toa Payoh town in 1960s Singapore. Our apartment was on the eighth floor. There was another apartment block right opposite ours, and there was an open green space between the two blocks.
