Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Johor Bahru

Fragrant basmati rice served with spicy, savoury rendang beef, salty ikan bilis, crunchy roasted peanuts, and achar. The rice was nicely infused with premium spices, making it aromatic. The rendang beef had good texture, tender yet chewy, with fats that were easy to chew as well. Creamy and spicy, though it felt like something was missing, but overall still enjoyable.

Refreshing and aromatic local iced milk tea with a frothy top and cooling grass jelly. The tea astringency was minimal and the condensed milk taste moderate, making the overall flavour balanced and pleasant without being overly sweet. The frothy top adds bubbling fun while the grass jelly cools your body.

Nice soft‑boiled eggs with semi‑liquid whites and a bright runny yolk. Add soya sauce and pepper for taste. Good to act as a dip for your bread. Slurp! Love that creamy, gooey feel.

Must order! It is delicious. Crusty top with a soft, fluffy bun below. You slice the bottom of the bun into half, then slot in two pieces of super thick chilled butter, drizzle condensed milk to your liking, and enjoy. They really do not shy away from giving butter this thick, approved. A sweet, buttery, milky, crunchy indulgence. Dip into the half‑boiled egg for extra creaminess.

So what is a san jian zhuang meatball? Honestly, I have no idea. It seems more like a shape difference, being rectangular instead of round, and larger than a regular meatball. Texture was indeed juicier since it could hold more soup, and it was denser and springier.

Plain, simple, chewy egg noodles tossed in a light savoury dark sauce, topped with minced meat, spring onions, and shallot. Served with a bowl of rich, umami soup containing three meatballs and one san jian zhuang meatball.

Back to the noodles, I found them rather underwhelming. The taste did not quite hit the mark. If I needed to add soya sauce from the chilli provided, then it was certainly bland. At least the minced meat was decent, tender with a light marinade. The saving grace was the soup, which was rich in flavour and helped enhance the noodles. I guess my taste buds lean heavy, so perhaps those with a lighter palate will find this dish more enjoyable.

Brittle yet very crunchy, with a rich buttery taste. Generous choco chips make each bite enjoyable. Sweetness was balanced. The cookies leave a sandy grit on your fingers.

I felt they did not pair well with milk, as the flavours stayed separate rather than blending together. Still, who can resist freshly baked cookies, right!? Best eaten on their own, and remember to drink more water after as these cookies can be quite heaty. Cheaper if you take away in a bag, but I bought the container packaging since they were gifts and looked more presentable. Buy more and you get a discount. Overall, the cookies are satisfying in their own way, especially when enjoyed fresh from the store.

Woah, what!? So wobbly and smooth. Surprised by the silky chilled texture that melts in your mouth. The ginger paste was thick and sweet, pairing beautifully with the chilled beancurd. Good thing I only poured half a cup, since it was intensely caramelised sweet with infused ginger. Definitely recommend trying this. If you do not eat ginger, they also have a caramelised version. Always nice to end a meal with a good dessert.

Piping hot rice infused with earthy, chewy mushroom, savoury minced meat, crunchy long beans, and mushy yet crunchy yam, steamed over homemade pork broth. Mix well before eating to avoid burnt bits. A little char is fine since “锅巴” scorched rice is worth the risk. XD

Portion was filling. It may look small outside, but the pot is deep inside. Rice was topped to the brim before the ingredients were arranged over it for a more appealing look. The yam was well executed, either par‑boiled then fried or fried with water added to oil. Mushrooms were generous and paired well with rice. Although the rice was steamed with pork‑based broth, the flavour felt light and the overall texture a little dry. A drizzle of sauce would have enhanced it, but too much broth risks turning the rice into porridge. Offering dark soya sauce condiments would let customers adjust to their own liking.
