Looking for Hawker/Kopitiam places?

For those who are fan of this wanton noodles place at the city centre of JB may realised their original spot at the corner shop has been closed down. So in case you don’t know, they actually moved out from this place to another place 10 mins ride away.

They are now located a Taman Sentosa continue to serve their signature wanton noodles. Available in both white and black version, which basically mean whether you want it to go with the dark sauce or not.

The white version is simple yet still tasty without the dark sauce. And I would say their char siew is the main highlight from the bowl, so fragrant and crispy. Wanton pieces are separated in the soup bowl.

JB has a few places that sell laksa and WW Laksa would be one of them that is closer to the custom.

Love the rich flavour of laksa soup here, which is spicy enough. But they also provide additional chili paste if you want more spicier.

Unlike some other places, WW Laksa serve a more standard portion with ingredients; without the need to choose your own items to add. But of course you also can add-on additional items on top of what they have already included here.

There’s also 2 options for you to choose here, one is the normal without the blood clam and one with the blood clam.

If you not hate eating blood clam I would recommend you to go with it. There’s also fishball and fish cake that already inside your laksa.

The type of noodles also available to choose here.

Beside laksa and some other noodles, they also grilled otah and selling pieces by pieces.

When searching for Pokok Cherry in JB, you would find 2 different locations with the same name.

I went to the one that serves nasi lemak from early morning 8:30am at the location few minutes drive from the custom.

There wasn’t any signage here, just a rundown setting of roof on a rusty green land beside the flyover.

Yet you could see people already standing around waiting for them to open at 8:30am and quickly filled the seats on weekend morning.

This Malay restaurant only sell Malay style of breakfast with nasi lemak and noodles. Which you will self-service by taking the dishes you want to go with your meal.

Not many options for the nasi lemak, but the standard one would be getting the fried chicken and fried egg.

You could taste the pandan flavour from their rice, matched with their popular crispy fried chicken.

This is one of the famous fishball noodle places in Johor Bahru, tables are usually occupied with the rest standing around waiting patiently for tables to be cleared.

Their fishball noodle comes with your choose of noodle and a bowl of warm soup with fishballs.

Choose from either spicy or non-spicy, which you will find generous chili sauce at the bottom of the noodle.

Their fishball really worth the trip to come here, for it’s chewy texture and not too fishy.

Whenever we mentioned about Pontian, the first thing that comes to your mind would probably be the wan tan mee.

We can find Pontian Wan Tan Mee in Singapore. But coming to the real Pontian town, of course you must die die grab a plate of it from one of the few places here that offers the authentic Pontian tomato wan tan mee.

Mee Sin Kee is one of them in town offering options of 1, 2 or 3 servings of the noodle; depending on the portion you want to get.

My order is only 1 serving of noodle, tossed with tomato and chili sauce. Topped with pieces of char siew. The wan tan separates in a bowl of soup aside. And yes, they also added fishballs here.

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.

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.

They have dry version too but everyone's having the soup one.

The soup has a little bit of thickness surprisingly despite being clear. It's quite flavourful and a little fishy too. Ingredients were generally competent, the sharp tasting preserved veggies is the slight novelty

Pretty decent

A hearty recommendation, and I suggest opting for the normal noodles for a richer and tastier experience. The original noodles boast a bold and slurpy texture, absorbing the curry flavours even better than the Kway Teow option I tried. It's safe to say this is one of the best noodles I've ever had, prompting me to do some research on their supplier. I was delighted to discover that their noodles are sourced from Chop Eng Tin, a traditional noodle maker since 1950, committed to a preservative-free approach. These noodles stand out, resembling the eggy Hong Kong noodle type rather than the typical yellow noodles with alkaline taste.

Now, back to the curry mee. The scrumptious bowl features pig skin, char siew, fried beancurd skin, fried beancurd, five spice roll, and beansprouts. The generous portion of ingredients enhances the overall experience. Adding to the happiness is the savoury bean paste sambal chili, providing an extra layer of umami to the dish. The subtle spicy kick at the end is just awesome.

No doubt, I'll be returning for more of their exceptional noodles and perhaps a visit to the supplier to bring some home.

Although the location is a bit hidden from the main streets of JB, but this place is constantly packed with people during lunch peak hours.

Only one item available on the menu, it is their signature soy sauce chicken that grilled perfectly before serving to your plate of rice. Accompanied by some veggies.

Queue is usually formed outside the shop, with everyone waiting patiently for the table availability. The wait is totally worth it for a piece of juicy grilled chicken.

Although they would get your order at your table and serve the chicken rice to you. But you have to self-service with the soy sauce, chilli sauce and soup from the counter inside the shop.

So next time you are here in JB, perhaps this is a good chance to try something the locals like.

Going around Segamat town and you would probably find this name familiar. Yes, this popular wanton mee in Segamat has a few stalls around.

But many people still visiting their original place at the roadside, in the compound of a house.

Their noodle texture is interestingly very chewy, mixing with the dark sauce.

Mee Rebus Biasa (RM 8.90) consists of blanched yellow noodles served with delicious thick gravy, a boiled egg on the side, garnished with fried onion, green chili, Chinese parsley, crispy keropok, and lime. The gravy amazed me once again – thick, savoury, and sweet, with the fritters adding a lovely texture to the dish. The Burpple Beyond deal for a complimentary Mee Rebus dish is still valid, but communication about the deal might be a bit challenging due to limited English proficiency.
