CNY indulgences - Nijyumaru Japanese Restaurant 二重丸日式料理

Japanese cuisine has never topped the list of my all-time favourite food, and I wasn't ever prepared to change that. Japanese food in my dictionary is all about sushi, sashimi, fishy items or something light in flavor, a stark contrast to what is acceptable by my tastebuds. Add on to the battered image I've...

麻坡食游记 - Sai Kee 才记 434 coffee

After a considerably long drive from Johor Bahru to Muar, approximately 2 hours, I need a break to freshen up, food or otherwise. Somewhere I can rest my foot and reward my back with a good stretch. Since it was not exactly lunch time yet when we arrived, and couldn't check into the hotel earlier, I thought...

麻坡食游记 - 美味的炒粿

麻坡真是一个古色古香的好去处，其实去马六甲那么远，倒不如来麻坡走一趟。这里少了些许的“莫登”气息，少了那铜臭味十足的商业动机，到了麻坡就犹如松了一口气，暂时摆脱了城市的束缚，为自己充电，好让自己回到城市里再努力往前迈进 。 炒菜头粿 。。。 黑的 （添加了黑酱油），白的，到底哪个比较好吃呢？哪个比较受欢迎呢？相信每个版本都会有它的拥护者啦 。。。 看各人喜好。我倒蛮喜欢白的，菜头粿外包着一层煎到香脆可口的蛋汁和那微微的锅气， 再加点辣椒，那就完美了。 站在 Jalan Yahya 的一段，直视下去，仿佛透视着一道时空隧道，回到了我爸妈的年代。街道的两旁都摆有档口，虽说没一般 pasar pagi 来的长，但是也能够让我边走边吃个够,...

麻坡食游记 - 旧国泰炒粿条面

Most of the locals would have known of this particular fried kuey tiao (炒粿条面) stall, situated in the hawker food centre just beside the old Cathay cinema. Just ask around where's  旧国泰 and I'm pretty sure any locals can provide the exact location.  Driving along Jalan Ali or 四马路 as locals called it,...

麻坡食游记 - 火辣辣的华南茶室叻沙Laksa

Still threading along Jalan Yahya and with a piece of 面煎粿 in hand, munching away as I took my steps forward, a small little signage beckoned for my attention. “Laksa 叻沙”. These words are just all too recognisable for anybody, coming across it in hawker centres, foodcourts, on the menu of cafes, and even throughout...

麻坡食游记 - 面煎粿 for breakfast

Jalan Sisi for supper and Jalan Yahya for breakfast. Running in parallel and separated by a few streets between them, one can really spend a day in Muar without fear of getting hungry. Lunch is no big deal as well, the infamous 贪吃街 is just sandwiched between them, 真的是从头吃到尾. The 面煎粿 I had today is somewhat...

麻坡食游记 - 谭记云吞面

Muar appears to have transformed from a lively into a sleepy town, after sun sets into the horizon. There's nothing much to do especially into the late night, driving across Muar town, one sees all the shops closed for the day, with the occasional bright spots along the quiet, dimly light street. Mind you, scouting...

麻坡食游记 - Ice Town 冰.临.城.下

Ice Town ... Ice Room ... are they related in any way ? Answer is No and it got me confused for a while between the both. Ice Room is the cafe (part of a franchise chain) I visited one late night during my Port Dickson trip which was eventually accorded a thumbs up by me. Ice Town on the other hand is on its...

慷美峰碳烧腊 Kang Bee Hong Roast

Nusa Bestari is a place laden with yummylicious food and chain eateries, and to think years ago this place was a god forsaken land. Today, it is one of the bustling township in Johor Bahru with well connected roads to either JB city or the Iskandar area (and recently Legoland). It is by chance that we wandered...
