Best Places To Eat In Skudai

Looking for the best places to eat in this town that's located a few kilometers away from Johor Bahru? This is the list for you.

Skudai is home to several shopping malls in the area, such as Paradigm mall, Skudai Parade, and Sutera mall, which would draw the attention away from the abundance of eateries not located inside these malls. And this is why we are showing you a list of places you can visit in Skudai for a nice meal, without entering any of those malls.

For Affordable And Delicious Ribs
Finding parking on a weekday would be an issue, but once you bite in on their main courses it will all be worth it. Chef Henry is not a new restaurant and they've been open for more than 6 years, and the Chef himself has about 30 years of experience under his belt. The menu is entirely western and has a selection of ribs, pasta, lamb shoulders, chicken chop as well as fish and chips. Try out the slow cooked beef ribs (RM28.90), which come either with black pepper BBQ sauce, mushroom sauce or our favorite, a creamy butter garlic sauce. The ribs are done perfectly as they slide off the bone effortlessly and are incredibly tender.

For Delicious Western And Malay Food
This new café serves up western food and local fried rice that taste great and are priced rather affordably. Try out any one of their fried rice, that come with either grilled chicken (RM17), breaded and fried chicken (RM15), lamb chop (RM25) and prawns (RM16). The rice is well seasoned and salted, and the only difference between the four are the meat that comes with it. We would recommend the lamb chop, which comes with a grilled cut of New Zealand lamb, juicy and tender. For their western fare we would recommend any of their pasta dishes, such as the smoked duck pasta, which comes with slices of flavorful smoked duck on either Aglio Olio (RM22) or Carbonara (RM24). Their drinks are rather unique, such as their Biscoff frappe (RM15) and vanilla or strawberry popcorn milkshake (RM15) that is topped with actual pop corn.

If you're looking for a strong and smooth cold brew, hop on over to Maco and order their ice drip for RM22.90. This cold brew is nitrogen chilled which provides a mild yet robust and smooth taste. Pizzas, pasta and other western delights are also on the menu, try out the Maco Best chicken chop (RM26.90), which is an oven baked chicken served with a thick mushroom black pepper sauce that leaves the entire dish feeling flavorful and wholesome, it also comes with a side of potato wedges. If you're just feeling peckish and looking for a sweet treat, give their Ultimate Chocolate Waffle (RM24.90) a go, this dessert made of a chocolate waffle, decorated with scoops of chocolate ice cream, whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate sauce and single shot espresso looks spectacular for the gram, and is good enough to share between two people.

Did you know they used to charge RM13 for lambchop here? But due to the recent price hike for ingredients in Malaysia, their lamb chop is currently RM15, which is still not bad a bad price. Abie serves up a variety of western food, such as burgers, chicken chop (RM8), fish and chips (RM7), strip loin steak (RM20), as well as pasta. For big eaters we recommend going for the XXL Fish and chips (RM10), which is a large grilled fillet of fish, all sauced up and with a serving of fries and a salad. Their grilled mushroom lamb chop (RM17) is also worth a go, you get the regular lamb chop and all it's sides but this time with a thick creamy mushroom sauce.
