Johor

My favourite kind of murtabak would be beef murtabak, and especially Singapore style where you get the minced beef inside and on top of it. What’s even better? With cheese, of course! This is a famous place in JB. Everybody knows this over at Kampung Kurnia. I’ve been wanting to try this for years and I finally managed to do so in 2018. You could pull the cheese long and I personally felt that it was satisfying. Will I come back? Definitely, without a doubt.

What else would you eat when in Johor? Prawn mee! Or at least, that’s what I thought. Went to Plaza Larkin for breakfast last week and ended up ordering this bowl of mee. It had yellow mee with fried prawn and fried mushroom, and me being me, opted for no vegetables. It tasted okay to me, my mushrooms were already soggy by then so it wasn’t as enjoyable. The broth was thick though, so that’s good I suppose.

I have been craving this for months but sadly they only have delivery in JB area. I told my mum we needed to go to Johor, so off we went and I obviously had to try this. The owner used to have a kiosk at the Larkin bus station selling hot dogs but later closed down and started doing it from home (Instagram: @woodfirejb). They have a variety of sloppy burgers to choose from and they recently had the option to add wagyu in it. A set comes with fries and some sort of dip, which was nice. Everything from the sauces to the buns to the patties were homemade. I think the buns changed. This bun had oats on it (instead of the usual sesame seeds) and there were also some with what looked like chia seeds but I had no idea what it was 😅 the whole burger was too big for me to eat fast, so I took my time. I loved everything from the fries to the burger. I am actually craving for the fries right now 😩 they accept orders latest about 48 hours earlier, number on their Instagram.
