Xiang Kee Yu Yuan Mian Tang is one of the stall that usually attracts queue during lunch time. The alternative noodle stall where the rest not open.
I went for their fishball kway teow noodle soup. Comes with fishballs, minced meat, mushroom, pork lard and pork liver.
Wonderful bowl of soup with all the ingredients.
This coffee shop has recently bought over by a new owner and renamed to KopiWU. Thankfully some of the old stalls remained to operate with this new owner.
One of it would be this stall called the Signature Curry. A food stall specialise for their curry, but also offer some other Asian style of dishes as well.
I love their curry, which is very rich and spicy. You can choose to go with the rice or bread.
The curry chicken is tender and enjoyable, comes with some potatoes.
They have quite an extensive range of drinks options here from coffee to non-coffee.
I went for this seasalt caramel macchiato, lovely blend of coffee with sea salt and caramel.
Available in cold or hot.
This beautifully decorated cafe has attracted many people for this aesthetically interior with their foods and drinks.
Beside serving Korean inspired foods, they also served delicious cakes like this one.
Layered with black sesame and genmaicha flavours.
If you asking the Johor residents where to grab decent supper at night, this place usually will be on the list of recommendation.
This noodles place only open in the evening from 6pm onwards till late night, making it one of the best supper spot to grab some meal at night.
You can choose from either sitting outdoor beside the road, or indoor with air-conditioned.
As for their wan tan mee, you can choose either with the black sauce or not, whether to go with spicy or non-spicy. Also to choose the portion either small or big.
I actually like it considering the ingredients given, every plate of wan tan mee will come with a fried cracker, char siew, veggie and wanton in a bowl of soup.
You are not going to spot this shop from the main road, as the shop is located quite hidden in this quiet area.
In order to reach here, you have to take the main road and get off to a side road that will lead you to this place.
Although the shop wasn’t so visible as it should be, yet you will find this shop always full house over the weekend and people would constantly dropping by hoping to get a seats.
Only a few type of desserts available here, which is much of Hong Kong style influenced. But all of them are definitely worth making your way here.
Housed in this very interesting kampong shophouses, which you enter the shop from the street but there’s more seating area actually located at one floor down. This is because the shophouses here are built on slope.
This is a pet-friendly shop and you may spots the resident’s cat and dog in the shop sometime.
I went for this interesting Black Sesame Peanut Mochi which is hardly found in Singapore. Chewy texture of mochi that topped with lots of peanut and sesame.
So if you are looking for in-between rest stop in the afternoon, this could be the perfect spot to head to.
They grill their otak only upon order, yet you can see them grilling pieces by pieces non-stop the whole morning.
You would see almost all tables will grab some of these to accompany their breakfast, so I definitely would recommend you to try it as well.
One hidden gem that mostly locals would come for early breakfast. This place called the Storia Cafe open from 6am, located very near to custom along Jalan Storey.
People come here for their nasi lemak, mee siam and and otak.
Their nasi lemak is in Malaysia style, with just ikan bilis, sliced egg and chili paste. Simple yet enjoyable taste to kickstart the day.
If you are walking around this area of Johor Bahru, you definitely would spot this new gelato shop that just opened recently.
Jinmuu Handmade Gelato join the busy F&B scene in this area by introducing their handmade gelato, which making it a perfect after meal spot especially when the day gets to hot,
There was 9 flavours to choose from when I’m here, and I decided to go with the oolong peach. Rich in flavour but it tasted more on the oolong side.
While the shop looks pretty small when you are at the front street, but they actually have a second floor upstairs with plenty of seats to enjoy your gelato here.
I believe most people who have visited to Johor Bahru before would have hear of or already try this place.
You may need to drive, take bus or Grab to reach here from custom. But totally worth the trip when you see all the ingredients on display.
Yes, the laksa here is much like our yong tau foo, where you first need to pick any ingredients that you want to add on to your laksa.
Lots of options available, from vegetables to beancurd to fishballs and more. Then choose the type of your noodle and you are good to go.
Everyone should be familiar with this place as they opened a few outlets across the city and you could easily find them in many shopping malls.
Serving authentic Teochew style of fishball noodles in shopping malls. I’m glad they managed to prepare the dish perfectly without anything to complain.
Right texture for the noodle, flavourful broth and springy fishball to enjoy.
Sandakan may not a top tourist spot on many of our travel lists, considering it wasn’t a main city of Sabah. Most people usually come here for their nature attractions.
You may don’t have the opportunity to visit this city, but don’t worry as you now get to try on one of their popular food from Sandakan right here in Singapore.
Thanks for Food Republic for bringing it to our shore, you can enjoy this traditional fried pork dish from Sandakan.
Really enjoy much of these pieces of crunchy fried pork on the top of noodles. And interestingly they come with some you tiao as well. But I find the you tiao a bit dry on its own.
If you can eat a lot, I strongly recommend you to grab their noodle set that comes with century egg dumplings soup and iceberg lettuce with oyster sauce to complete your meal here. Note that the dumplings sold out when I’m here so it was replaced with pork balls instead.
