My JB buddy wanted to have another taste of Ho Seng Kee wanton mee, a taste of Old JB which she grew up with. She remembers eating this Old JB wanton mee when it was a coffee shop stall near the present Merlin Tower Hotel a long time ago.

Best Johor JB Pasar Malam Food. Hae Piah Ji or Fried Prawn Fritter

Pasar-Malam-Hae-Piah-Ji-Fried-Prawn-Fritter

Stumbled upon this popular stall selling delicious hae piah ji 蝦餅煎 or deep fried prawn fritters while browsing the pasar malam (night market) in Johor Jaya (opens every Tuesday).

这个在新山夜市的炸虾饼, 是两姐妹开的. 他们的炸虾饼有两种. 有纯的虾饼 (RM1.50). 还有加菜的虾饼 (RM2). 两种都好吃. 饼炸得脆脆的. 里面还有一点松软. 我个人更加喜欢吃包菜的虾饼. 饼里面有萝卜丝, 葱头, 葱, 还有一点泡菜丝. 不要小看那些小白虾, 他们是多么的新鲜, 软又香甜. 喜欢吃炸虾饼的朋友,下次有到新山夜市, 一定要找这个炸虾饼小档口.

Kopi-O Kampung Chicken Eggs & Kaya Butter Bun @ Kin Hua in JB Johor

Kopi-O-Kampung-Chicken-Eggs-Kaya-Butter-Bun-Kin-Hua-JB-Johor

So nice to be back in JB after three months away overseas. First things first, a Nanyang style breakfast to get my bearings. Outside of Malaysia and Singapore, there is just no breakfast like these anywhere else in the world.

Best Singapore Hawker Centre Coffee. Kopi More @ Golden Mile ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best-Singapore-Hawker-Centre-Coffee-Kopi-More-Gold-Mile

You know... we hear it all the time. Singaporeans often lament how the standard of kopitiam or hawker centre kopi (coffee) has dropped so much yet prices kept going up. It's really hard to get a quality cup of coffee in Singapore hawker centres these days. Sadly, to get good coffee, we have to resort to hipster cafes and even there, the quality is hit or miss.

I feel more sad than upset by the decline of Singapore kopi.

But now, there is hope.

Ramen Benkei in Asakusa ラーメン弁慶 Tokyo ⭐⭐⭐⭐✱

Kaminarimon-Gate-Asakusa

Dropped by Asakusa today for a day of sightseeing at Sensō-ji Temple, one of Tokyo's most important shrines, popular with both domestic and overseas visitors. The Kaminarimon (dedicated to the God of Thunder 雷神) which is the first of two gates leading to Sensō-ji Temple was crowded with visitors to the revered shrine.
