Uncle Chicken Rice. Niven the Unflappable Comeback Kid (Last Sighting @ Simpang Bedok / Compass One)

Singapore-Uncle-Chicken-Rice

Visited Uncle Chicken Rice at Bedok Market Place today. Uncle Chicken Rice is ceasing operations at Bedok Market Place on 30 Apr 2016, and will resume business when Uncle Niven finds a new location. We quickly dropped by today as we don't know when is the next time we can taste Uncle's chicken rice again.

Observing how Uncle Niven prepares chicken rice, I picked up some tips which I can use at home 😄


Ju Feng Garden Kitchen - Hidden Zi Char Gem in Jurong 聚丰园小厨 CLOSED

Ju-Feng-Garden-Kitchen-Jurong-East

You know me, 5 years into Johor Kaki blog, combing back streets, alley ways and off beat small towns for good food - I've never used the cliché, "a hidden gem". It's also not my style to use hyperbole. But, I shall break my own record and describe this zichar shop in a quiet corner of Jurong East as "a hidden gem".

FHA Food&HotelAsia 2016 Singapore

FHA-Food&HotelAsia-2016-Singapore

In my old job, attending and working during airshows is part and parcel of my life. Now, I look forward to mega food and hospitality industry events like Food&HotelAsia FHA - something I didn't even think I'll be doing just 5 years ago.

Pork Organ Soup Perling Johor Bahru 金岭美食阁世纪好味猪杂汤 JK1463

Pork-Organ-Soup-Perling-Johor-Bahru-金岭美食阁世纪好味猪杂汤

Back this morning at 世纪好味 at Kim Ling coffee shop in Taman Perling, to one of my favourite pork organ soup stalls. One of my favourite dishes, there aren't as many pork organ soup stalls in JB compared to Singapore. Fortunately, there is a good one like 世纪好味.

位于 Taman Perling, Jalan Simbang 金岭美食阁的世纪好味有带有古早味的猪杂汤. 世纪好味的汤头酸咸甜香, 猪杂如猪肝,心脏,肠, 舌等等都够软, 清鲜甜美. 喜欢猪杂汤和猪内脏的朋友可以试试.  早市.


CLOSED Australia Premium Laksa near JUSCO Mall Kulai Johor 古来澳州墨尔本高级叻沙

Australia-Premium-Laksa-JUSCO-Mall-Kulai-Johor-古来澳州墨尔本高级叻沙

CLOSED This curry laksa with soft shell crab keeps popping up on my Facebook and Instagram feeds recently. My foodie buddy Ong texted me to try this out. The new friends from Kulai we met this week, told us to check it out. With so many friends pointing us in that direction, we have no choice but to check out the so-called Melbourne Premium Laksa at Australia Premium Laksa in Indahpura, near Jusco in Kulai.

朋友大力推荐我去古来试试澳州墨尔本高级叻沙. 我带着好奇的心来到古来试试. 这叻沙的汤头很浓郁, 味道也比较重那种. 甜中带咸, 有香味, 不会太辣. 喜欢重口味的朋友就会喜欢. 那一只小螃蟹有软软, 带有一点香脆的口感和不错的鲜味.  RM23一碗, 个人觉得有一点贵. 好奇的朋友不妨试试. 地址: Jalan Kenanga 29/3, Bandar Indahpura, Kulai, Johor.

✍️ 22 Dec 2024. Revisiting Restoran Monyet, it's called Restoran Sin Peng now. Forgot to ask why the change but the Chinese name remains the same 猴子麵茶餐室 i.e. Monkey Noodles. 

烤妖 Botak Demon BBQ Mount Austin Johor Bahru

烤妖-Botak-BBQ-Mount-Austin-Johor-Bahru

烤妖 Botak's BBQ stand at Jalan Mutiara Emas 3/1 in Mount Austin has been raging red hot in Johor Bahru for several months. I wanted to let things cool off a little before coming by, but Botak just got hotter and hotter, and I couldn't resist it any more :-D

烤妖 Botak 在 Jalan Mutiara Emas 3/1 (PappaRich 对面) 的燒烤店已經在新山火紅, 熱了好幾個月。我耐心等待, 希望讓大家冷靜下來一點然後去吃。但 Botak 的燒烤越來越狂熱,我再也無法继续抵抗它了。店面装饰朴素,排队等候一两个小时, 不过 Botak 的烤羊肉,烤五花,  三文鱼, 香喷喷又好吃。值得一试。六点半到卖完为止, 星期二休息。

Best Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodles in Johor Bahru

Penang-Prawn-Noodle-Johor-Permas-Jaya-You-Xiang-大路後檳城蝦麵.卤面

I noticed that Johoreans have a liking for Penang prawn noodles (known simply as Hokkien mee in Penang). Most coffee shops in Johor Bahru have one Penang prawn noodle stall. These stalls are often operated by Penangites drawn to JB by the opportunities here.
