Orang Asli Seafood Mutiara Biru near Taman Perling Johor Bahru 阿士里海鲜村
Johor Bahru has a few seafood restaurants on platforms over the water along the Johor Straits (facing Singapore) where Orang Asli chefs serve Chinese zhi char 煮炒 style dishes. Last evening, I finally visited Restoran Asli Makanan Laut Mutiara Biru near Taman Perling which had been on my "To Eat list" for a long time.

Best Zhi Cha in JB List. Lai Hing in Taman Perling 利興坊海鲜小厨
Buddy Steven suggested that we have dinner at Lai Hing zhi cha in JB after our day long food trail in Kluang. I thought it was a great idea as our Kluang food trail began at day break, and eating dinner in Kluang meant driving back late at night - it would be a little taxing for my vintage chassis 😜 I was also keen to visit Steven's favourite JB zhi cha place as I have not been to Lai Hing before 😋
Ayam Penyet Sarang Lebah in Johor Bahru JB Perling

In Johor Bahru, one of the most popular Penang char kway teow stalls is at Leong Seng Huat 两成发 coffee shop in Taman Perling.

Mana Lagi Nasi Lemak Johor Bahru Taman Perling
As usual, some customers were already waiting outside before Mana Lagi nasi lemak shop in Taman Perling was opened. That "empty" table on the right was already "choped" (reserved) by me with my haversack and water bottle.
Penang Char Kway Teow Perling Johor Bahru, Leong Seng Huat Kopitiam 两成发炒粿條 (Moved to Restoran Yang Jia in Impian Emas)
Leong Seng Huat fried kway teow 两成发炒粿條 is well known among locals especially Penangites in JB. Some even call Leong Seng Huat kopitiam "Little Penang" because we can find different types of Penang signature food here such as Penang prawn mee and Penang lor mee.
Char Kway Teow in Johor Bahru at Kim Ling Kopitiam 金岭炒粿條
Today, I revisited the fried kway teow stall at Kim Ling 金岭 kopitiam in Taman Perling, which was one of my early posts when I started blogging.
I have not been to Kim Ling kopitiam for nearly two years and was a little surprised and touched that the lady boss remembered me :D - The stranger who popped up, ate, paid, chatted, took photos, left, and not seen again.
Johor Dessert - Yong Yong Dessert Restaurant 荣荣甜品 in Taman Perling
It is probably safe to say that almost anyone born and bred in Johor Bahru would have heard of Yong Yong dessert stall 荣荣甜品.

No pork, no lard
Meet Jeff the second generation owner of Yong Yong at Taman Perling. Jeff was working in Singapore as an engineer before returning to Johor Bahru to run Yong Yong together with his wife, Shirley and his father (the founder). Jeff's brother runs the Yong Yong stall at Tepian Tebrau with their mother.
Jeff's dad started Yong Yong at the corner of the now demolished Capitol Cinema in old downtown JB. He then ran a push cart stall at the beach along Stulang Laut in the 1970s that has since become one of the good food that defines the Johor brand.
Ice Kacang RM4
This ice kacang is Yong Yong's original claim to fame. Yong Yong's signature ice kacang is made with fine, soft ice shavings topped with boiled maize, red beans and chocolate syrup. As the ice is fine and soft, the chocolate syrup penetrates the ice mound quickly, saturating it with chocolaty flavour.
The soft ice mound melts pretty fast, revealing the treasures below like attap seeds and grass jelly. The best way to enjoy this watery icy concoction is with the drinking straw provided.
Ice Jelly RM4.50
Ice Jelly is shaved ice doused with a sugary syrup and topped with sea coconut, sour sop, jelly and fruit cocktail.
A squeeze of lime gives the jelly and ice a slightly sourish taste. Ice jelly is a refreshing cold dessert for hot afternoons.
Tau suan 豆爽 is one of my favourite hot desserts. I used to eat a mee rebus and tau suan combination for lunch everyday at the office years ago.
Yong Yong's tau suan is just perfect for me. The mung beans have the right texture and bite (neither too hard nor too mushy), the starch is the right thickness and stickiness, and it's just the right sweetness.
Tauhu Bakar RM3.00
Yong Yong's tauhu baker or grilled bean curd. Look at the lovely glint on the sauce's surface.
The grill bean curd is stuffed with shredded cucumber and crunchy boiled bean sprouts.
Every order of tauhu bakar and it's sauce is made on the spot.
Jeff ladling in the marvellous sauce on the tauhu bakar. The sauce is savoury, nutty, with subtle hints of spiciness and not overly salty.
Yong Yong's savoury sauce is a blend of chili, crushed ground nuts, prawn paste, sugar and other condiments. You can have the sauce to suit your taste just by informing Jeff.
Yong Yong's rojak is one of the best around. The cucumber, pumpkin, and pineapple slices are fresh and juicy without them feeling damp. The salad is tossed in the same savoury sauce made on the spot for the tauhu bakar.
Yong Yong in Taman Perling and also in Tepian Tebrau is a "must try" if you are looking for old school desserts in Johor Bahru.

Red Rice Wine Mee Suah and Wanton Mee at Restoran Lima Ratus in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru Update 2019
This morning we popped over to Restoran Lima Ratus in Taman Perling for their red rice wine mee suah as we had a sudden craving for it. (Where do sudden cravings for specific dishes come from? 😂 )
8108 炒小吃 Stall in Kedai Makanan Yenn Sang 源香 in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Stumbled upon this little zhe char stall 8108 炒小吃 in Yenn Sang 源香 kopitiam while trying to grab a quick lunch before an appointment in Taman Perling.
What first caught my attention was the bellowing smoke and the sizzling sound of food on a hot wok.
As I turned around and approached, I saw the chef playing with the wok over a stove that was spitting fire. I stopped to watch the chef as I am always fascinated by darting, licking flames, energetic toss frying and the drool triggering sound of sizzle.
Chef and I started a conversation. In the middle of tossing and frying, the chef told me that he and his wife had previously worked in the famous Sin Leong restaurant in Marine Parade, Singapore. After many years, they returned back to Johor Bahru and started 8108 炒小吃.
This is 8108's oil smeared menu held with Scotch tape onto the glass showcase. Hand written with marker pen on yellow vanguard sheet. It's all very casual, practical and unpretentious.
Well, when unsure about what to order, the best thing to do is to ask the chef himself. The chef suggested that I try his kam hiong chicken - the top item on his menu.
I gladly took the chef's recommendation and it was good, of course - it was the chef's personal recommendation after all :P
The fresh chicken chunks were fried in intense heat in savoury, tangy and sweet gravy. The outer layer of the chicken pieces were slightly caramelised by the wok hei (intense radiated heat) while the insides were still moist and juicy.
I wonder where else can I enjoy a delicious hot RM5.50 lunch of substantial portion that was well executed by a former restaurant chef.
This was someone else's sambal squids. I shall try this next time :)

联姐 Yong Tau Foo 酿豆腐 Stall @ Kim Ling 金岭 Kopitiam in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru
联姐 who runs the popular kia teow kia stall at Kim Ling kopitiam in Taman Perling, also runs the yong tau foo 酿豆腐 stall.
联姐's Hakka styled yong tau foo stall serves an extensive range of yong tau foo and fried tofu. Everything at 联姐 is home-made.
The generous fresh fish stuffing in 联姐's yong tau foo pieces were light and sweet. Let's take a look at what's available.
Customers can pick any combination of these yong tau foo pieces and have them served in a savoury blended sauce of sweet, spicy and salty flavours, or in a tasty soup.
This time, I opted for the soup. The popular deep fried tofu skin were still crunchy even after soaking up loads of tasty broth.
The slightly cloudy soup base was made with soy beans, stock bones and anchovies.
I had "mouse" noodles 老鼠粉 for a change.
Kim Ling kopitiam is a convenient spot for group meals as it offers a wide variety of good hawker fare - there is something for everyone. Ample seating, indoors, al fresco and there is also an air conditioned section. 联姐's Yong Tau Foo stall adds to Kim Ling's already wide range of food choices available.
