Looking for Cheap & Good places?

I believe many Singaporeans are familiar with this restaurant that famous for their paper wrapped chicken.

Although we came on Tuesday night but surprisingly there’s a queue with the locals during dinner peak time.

Thankfully the queue went fast and they actually served their dishes pretty fast also.

Love the herbal taste of their paper wrapped chicken. Soft and tender.

Whenever we mentioned about Pontian, the first thing that comes to your mind would probably be the wan tan mee.

We can find Pontian Wan Tan Mee in Singapore. But coming to the real Pontian town, of course you must die die grab a plate of it from one of the few places here that offers the authentic Pontian tomato wan tan mee.

Mee Sin Kee is one of them in town offering options of 1, 2 or 3 servings of the noodle; depending on the portion you want to get.

My order is only 1 serving of noodle, tossed with tomato and chili sauce. Topped with pieces of char siew. The wan tan separates in a bowl of soup aside. And yes, they also added fishballs here.

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.

Portion for 3/4 paxs

One of Pontian town's signature wanton mee eateries.

The tomato sauce noodles were a little disappointing and are something of an acquired taste, while the black pepper wanton mee was nice but still a tad strange, as it tasted like the kind of sauce one would drizzle on a steak.

All in all, still an interesting experience as this style of wanton mee absolutely cannot be found in Singapore.

Tasty and crispy fried chicken! My go to alternative to KFC!

Chee cheong fun is one of my favourite dishes! The chee cheong fun served here are thin and soft, similar to the HK style (instead of the thick ones in SG). They had several options such as curry, red/black sweet sauce, ‘yam cake’ which is their specialty, and you can also choose deep-fried yong tau foo sides to go along with it. The portions were very substantial.

We opted for:
- Scallion oil: this was your scallion oil noodle but in cheong fun style. Very light and delicious!
- Black sweet sauce: of course you have to compare the traditional! This was a bit too sweet for my liking, but the sauce was more thin compared to the thick sauce you get in SG

Spent total RM12 for these two + 2 cups of kopi-C kosong

For the veggies out there, there is also a vegetarian restaurant that serves dim sum next door!

Fish head curry served in a claypot loaded with fleshy fish meat, cabbage, lady finger, long bean, fried tofu skin and tau kee. Their portion comes in 3 sizes with a small portion serving only fish steak while medium and large comes with a choice of fish head or tail. Each serving is freshly prepared upon ordering where they will place the fresh fish steak/head/tail into the claypot, add in the vegs and curry to cook it over the fire before serving it bubbly-hot to our table.

If you are expecting curry with a very thick consistency then you may not appreciate this place. The curry gravy here is not heavily saturated with coconut milk which is less jelak and drinkable. The fish meat absorbs the savoury curry gravy well and goes perfectly with rice. A small portion is just nice for 2-3 pax 》RM40 / Small (Fish Steak)

It's time to consider having curry fish head for breakfast because the waiting time nearer to lunch hour is approximately 1 hour and they are not open for dinner.

Throwback Sunday! This famous curry fish head place has renovated & extend another unit next to the original unit. Spacious and clean. Nice to be back again although the prices has increased as compared 2 years ago. Yummy 😋👍

"Made with a variety of spices from Malay & Indian cuisine, the curry is super flavourful & addictive. The fish head is very tender too".
This legendary shop has a long que regardless of the time of day, and a bowl of curry fish head for 1 starts at RM22.

One of the more popular JB restaurants with a perpetual queue specializing in fish curry. Served piping hot in a claypot, the curry was complex with its mix of spices and rich seafood flavours. A good level of spice that was addictive without being too numbing or rich.

Served with crispy taupok that soaks up the curry, and various vegetables - cabbage, lady finger, long beans, and tomato. The sea bass head had dismal amount of meat, but what we could scrap off was fresh and tender, enhanced and not overpowered by the aromatic curry (just wished there was more!).

Have the curry with a bowl of rice and it’s so satisfying. Worth sweating it out in the non-air conditioned section of the restaurant (p.s lucky ones might get seated in the newer air-conditioned section).

For those who don’t want to make the journey/ queue in line, frozen curry packs of this famous gravy is being sold in Singapore 😂 .
