Welcome to Kluang.

Apparently this spot is super famous. The leicha soup was good, it's got depth and was on the salty side without much sweetness.

Who says you need to wait till the mid-autumn festival to have some mooncakes? At Yuan Fatt Bakery, you can get these mooncakes, available in three flavours: Single Yolk Dou Sha Paste, Single Yolk Pandan Paste, and Single Yolk Lotus Paste. And if you're not a fan of yolks, they offer options without them for RM 11/pcs.

What sets their mooncakes apart is their crust. With a crumbly, smooth texture that releases a thick, fragrant, buttery taste with every bite, you have to try it to truly understand. It's incredibly aromatic. The fillings are equally delightful, with fine, sweet pastes that complement the rich-tasting crust perfectly.

Traditional sponge cake filled with cream that brings you back to the nostalgic days. However, despite its fluffy and airy texture, I found the flavour to be rather subdued. The cream, unfortunately, fell short of expectations, being a bit too heavy, jelak and oily, which was disappointing. If you're visiting Yuan Fatt Bakery, I'd suggest just go for their specialty mooncakes instead, which I'll cover in another post. Trust me, you won't regret it as you might with this cake.

If you find yourself in Kluang, this is a must-buy! The salty bean cake from Tong Huat Traditional Confectionery is renowned for its deliciousness. Freshly made every day, they offer two batches at 9 am and 2.30 pm. Be sure to arrive early, at least half an hour before, to queue up because they tend to sell out quickly. Also, note that there's a limit of 10 packets per person.

These bean cakes had a crumbly yet flaky crust filled generously with grainy salty mung bean, at least 92% of it! From texture to taste, they are excellent. I also gave their sweet version a try, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me; it tasted similar to mooncake.

Roti Keping Butter Kaya (RM 3.20)
Crunchy toast with a thick slab of butter and a thin spread of kaya. The butter adds an extra layer of richness to elevate the toast beyond the ordinary.

Telur 1/2 Masak (RM 2.80)
Savoured two wobbly half-boiled eggs – a classic experience when drizzled with soy sauce and a sprinkle of pepper. For an added treat, dip your toast into the runny yolks.

Kopi (Cold)(RM 4.50)
A shiok ending with the icy cold coffee boasting a rich, sweet, and milky taste. A perfect brew to wrap up the journey.

Thick, chewy noodles and vegetables immersed in a rich, curry-like gravy. The curry falls somewhere between asam and dried shrimp, offering a unique blend of coconutty, fishy, and spice flavours. Think of it as a Malay version of spaghetti bolognese.

A simple yet tastisfying delight. Fragrant coconut rice paired with a generous serving of sweet, savoury, and spicy sambal with ikan bilis. It tasted so good that we packed several packets for dinner during the train ride back.

Concluding the trip with the best meal at the train station.

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.

Old-school cendol that's truly worth savouring. Crafted with fresh coconut milk, palm sugar, red beans, smooth pandan jelly, and a generous serving of shaved ice, this cendol is a must-try when you find yourself in Kluang. The harmony between the sweetness from Gula Melaka and the fresh creaminess is simply exquisite.

The famous cendol in Kluang that has been serving for many years. Recommend to add pulut hitam to complete your dessert.

There’s glutinous rice inside the cendol, which I find it very interesting.

One of the popular foods you can find in Kluang, and you actually can find them in 2 locations.

Botak Curry Mee has a very aromatic and strong taste, which I find it more on the sweet side rather than the spiciness.

Topped with fishcake, cockles and char siew.
