2 years ago • 10,582 views
Once we are done with the fish ball noodle meal at Ah Koong Restaurant in Taman Sentosa, Malaysia, we make our way to Pengerang. If you travel there by car, it should take you about an hour. After passing numerous palm plantations, we finally arrive in the town of Sungai Rengit. Our favourite seafood restaurant Jade Garden Seafood Corner is packed with diners. Apparently, three tour groups have just arrived....

My friends have been curious about the much raved of live lobsters in Pengerang, Malaysia. To satisfy their craving, we decided to embark on a food trail to Johor. As there are 8 of us, we chartered a minivan so that we can keep each other company without having to drive two cars. We started our journey from Singapore at 8:30am and arrived in Johor Bahru within an hour. Our...

Mini Kaya Delights in Malaysia

• 3 years ago • 3,231 views
Along the way to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I picked up some of these cute little pastry snacks that are filled with kaya (creamy coconut jam) and other types of paste. These are probably the easiest things to bake and most delightful things to pop in your mouth as a yummy snack. They are everywhere in Kuala Lumpur and Johor but I don’t recall having seen them in Singapore. Have you?...

Madam Kwan’s – High-end Hawker Fare in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

• 3 years ago • 9,750 views
Aside from Nando’s, another place that I have been wanting to visit in Kuala Lumpur is Madam Kwan’s. Started by the 75 year old Madam Kwan Swee Lian in 1977, this 4-restaurant chain takes pride in dishing out true Malaysian cuisine. Even the ang mohs love it, judging by the number of expatriates dining in the swanky eatery! While the menu consists of largely hawker fare, the sleek and classy...

Steven’s Tea Garden – Best Teh Tarik

• 3 years ago • 4,533 views
As I was strolling along the huge Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, the sign from a brightly lit eatery caught my attention. It screamed, “Best teh tarik in the world!” (or something to that effect). The place is Steven’s Tea Garden, a mamak restaurant chain. As a teh tarik lover, I had no choice but to go in. Right? Okay, actually it’s really the cute sarong-wearing lunghi-clad guy at...

Nando’s Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant – Peri Me Away

• 3 years ago • 38,081 views
I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a short trip last week. One of the things on my to-do list was to dine at Nando’s Peri Peri Chicken Restaurant, the UK fast food franchise specialising in the Afro-Portuguese peri peri (or piri piri) chicken. (Whoa, that’s one multi-national chicken!) My first peri peri experience was at AJ’s Piri Piri Chicken, another UK franchise that is modelled after Nando’s. Their chicken...

People, I found a new place to hang out in Johor Bahru — danga bay! Danga bay is an awesome area by the sea, sort of like our equivalent of East Coast Park, only better. You can find all sorts of recreational activities here, be it cycling, skateboarding, kite flying or even paintball! There are also restaurants, food centres, amusement parks, live bands, a shopping mall and bars! In the...

Season’s – Not For Any Season

• 6 years ago • 27,571 views
There was a period of time when I travelled to Malaysia frequently. But due to work, I have stopped going there for over a year! Last weekend I finally went to Johor Bahru with a friend. New eateries have opened at City Square, a shopping mall there in which the Singapore government has a 70% stake. It also happens to be the tallest building in Johor Bahru. Season’s is one...

City Square

Recently, a friend and I went across the causeway to Johor Bahru. We had planned to go to the new Aeon Tebrau City, which is the biggest shopping mall in Malaysia. But because we were late, we decided to just hang out at City Square instead. Lunch was at Robin’s Portuguese Chicken. As usual, I had the half chicken with spaghetti that I suspected was just yellow noodles. It costs...
