Kway Teow Kia 📍 Restoran Tong Seng Coffee Shop • Taman Ungku Tun Aminah 東成茶餐室 果条仔 ☎ +6011 6204 3695

Passed by Tong Seng coffee shop a few times before while stalking Taman Ungku Tun Aminah in Skudai, Johor for good eats. Small corner coffee shop, they have wanton mee, yong tau foo, chee cheong fun, lei cha, porridge, mee hoon kueh, KL fried Hokkien mee, chicken rice, and this kway teow kia stall. All little independent stalls with their own hawker bosses, so most put their heart and soul into their own businesses.

Kafuka Cafe in Skudai

Johor Bahru has a lot of parking spots - by that I mean, a lot of places to cool down and chill out.

You know right... when food hunting, we just can't go eat and eat non stop. I like to taste and enjoy my food slowly and fully like a normal diner.

Sohai Fried Kway Teow @ Pah Li Ban Skudai • 八里半 Sohai 炒饭 • 炒果条

Saw and smelled the aromatic white plumes from the corner fried kway teow stall at Pah Li Ban a few times. But, there are many choices here at PLB. As I worked my way through the stalls, eating their food one by one, I finally got to taste Sohai fried kway teow only today.

Sohai fried kway teow was good 👍 Can come again.

Don't let the wacky name distract you from the food. ("Sohai" is a rude word meaning a dimwit in Malaysia 😂 )

Restoran Xin Segar Coffee Shop · Amazing Kaya Butter Toast & Six Six Ice Coffee · Mutiara Rini

Our JB plan was simple - go nice makan (eat), and in between go to nice cafe to chill out before makan again 😬 Kim was raving about this frothy coffee place in Taman Mutiara Rini in Skudai but I couldn't really make out what exactly she said as I was in the back seat of the car. I just assumed it would be a nice Instagram opportunity that would make any influencer proud jealous.

Terengganu Curry Fish Noodles 丁加奴咖喱鱼面 was one of my first posts back in early 2012. I was "find dining" in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah (Skudai) when I stumbled upon the shop - my curiosity piqued by locals packing the little restaurant.

Rosli Roti Canai (Prata) @ Tmn Ungkul Tun Animah Block 59 Hawker Centre

Seven years into Johor Kaki blog, I still find that hitting the road, pounding the streets combined with good luck work best for me in find dining. This morning, I was lucky to stumble upon Rosli Roti Canai at the hawker centre at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah Block 59.

✍ 2018. Uncle Koh 許记云吞面 was featured in one of the first Johor Kaki blog posts back in early 2012. It is still one of my favourite wanton mee shops because I like their springy house made noodles 👍

Durian Cendol at Nyonya Sister in Paradigm Mall Johor Bahru

I have been looking for a good durian cendol in JB after my favourite stall in Johor Jaya closed. I think I finally found a good one at Nyonya Sister in Paradigm Mall.

在新山 Paradigm Mall 的 Nyonya Sister 那里有猫山王榴莲 cendol. 8块钱有猫山王榴莲. 又香又甜, 我喜欢. 10块钱的榴莲 cendol 还有一粒泰国香椰做的冰淇淋. 更甜更香, 我更喜欢. 喜欢吃甜, 吃猫山王的朋友可以试试哦. Shopping 来这里歇歇脚也不错. 在 Paradigm Mall 底层 Village Grocer 对面 Subway 旁边 (GF Lot 37A).

Whenever I head out to Pekan Nanas or Pontian for food hunting, Chin Chin wanton mee in Skudai always gets in the way. I mean, it is hard to resist pulling over for another bite of those skinny eggy noodles with that tender spring and egg taste.

Taiwanese Beef Noodles & Braised Pork Rice @ Taiphoon Formosa Cuisine. Sutera JB

Anyone who has been to Taiwan knows that braised pork rice (lu rou fan 滷肉饭) and beef noodles (niu rou mian 牛肉麵) are found everywhere on the island. They're staple and comfort food like chicken rice in Singapore and nasi lemak in Malaysia. 

Quite a few people told me that they must have lu rou fan every day when they visit Taiwan. Funny thing is, for all the times that I have been to Taiwan, I have never tasted their lu rou fan and niu rou mian before - always enticed away to try the more trendy stuff 😂
