Restoran Ah Bee (former Hwa Mei 华美) Bak Kut Teh is in an inconspicuous part of Johor Bahru (at Jalan Lumba Kuda) that attracts little, if any tourist traffic at all. Still, Restoran Ah Bee (Hwa Mei 华美) Bak Kut Teh is full house everyday.
Hwa Mei is an old bak kut teh restaurant popular among Johoreans. The famous restaurant which has been around since the 1960s, is tucked away at the far end corner of a row of shop houses. A big old tree shields the restaurant from the morning sun. Hwa Mei is in the cluster of shops with many other gastronomic gems at the junction of Jalan Lumba Kuda and Jalan Tanjung Puteri.
