CLOSED. Johor have a history of innovative dishes due to it's crossroads location and openness to new ideas - witness the creation of fusion dishes like Laksa Johor and the Johor version of Kacang Pool. The spirit of culinary innovation is well and alive in Johor - Lei cha spaghetti at Eh He cafe carries on this Johor tradition of East West fusion.
My favourite ways to eat spaghetti are the minimalist aglio e olio followed by self indulgent Singapore chili crab spaghetti :-D I am not sure where this brilliant Italian - Singapore fusion of two national dishes was invented but the best chili crab spaghetti that I've tasted in Johor Bahru is at EH HE Art Cafe at Jalan Tan Hiok Nee.
Singapore style Hokkien mee is a delicious iconic dish that is very hard to find a good version outside of the sunny island. For whatever reason, Singapore Hokkien mee outside of the Lion City somehow just cannot make it. Imagine, finding a good SG Hokkien mee, and one that does not use pork and lard in JB. Now, that's exciting.
We were at Ehhe Art Cafe in Johor Bahru again, one of our favourite places to hang out in JB.
One bite into this curry chicken at EhHe Art Cafe in JB, and memories of my first taste of curry chicken flooded my mind.
CLOSED. Went to try EhHe Art Cafe's Hainese chicken rice set today.
In a few days, Johor Kaki blog will be entering it's fifth year. Not surprisingly, the first Johor Kaki posts were about the eateries around the Jalan Tan Hiok Nee cultural district as these are interesting and nearest to Singapore. Though, Johor Kaki blog is basically the same, there are many changes. The same can be said of Johor Bahru's cultural district.
