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 first stop was at Ah Koong Restaurant in Taman Sentosa, which is famous for its fish ball noodles.
Fish ball noodlesRM5.50
On average the price is RM5.50 a bowl with reasonable servings of ingredients like fish ball, fish cake, seaweed, lettuce, deep fried dumpling and ngoh hiang.
We like the QQ texture of the mee pok (flat noodles).
RM3.80 per piece
The signature crispy fish cake is at RM3.80 per piece.
RM5.90
The curry laksa has gravy that tastes similar to the famous fish head curry at Jalan Wong Ah Fook.
With a full stomach, it’s time to start our 90 minute journey to Pengerang.
