Looking for Hawker/Kopitiam places?

Dropped by for a super satisfying lunch! Love how we can build our own bowl with fresh, house-made ingredients.

Went with a mix of favourites — plump herh keow (fish dumpling), stuffed beancurd, bitter gourd, chilli, scallops, fishballs, yee wat (fish paste) and some fresh greens. The broth was light yet flavourful, with crispy seaweed adding that extra bit of texture.

For noodles, we had mee tai mak and carb-free fish noodles, both well-coated in savoury dark sauce. The mee tai mak had a nice chew, while the fish noodles were smooth, bouncy, and a rare find. Also grabbed the fried fish cake with sweet chilli dip on the side — simple but seriously addictive.

A solid spot for a comforting, fuss-free meal. Will definitely be back to mix and match more combos!

Yong Tau Foo Soup 》RM30.40
Fish Noodle 》RM12.90
Mee Tai Mak 》RM4.90
Crispy Fish Cake 》RM8.50

The pork and chicken satay have a nice smoky char, and while the marinade is decent, they don’t quite steal the show.

The peanut sauce helps round things out, delivering a rich, nutty kick that pairs well with the tender meat. Not mind-blowing, but good enough for a casual satay fix 》RM1.50 / Piece

📍Tampoi Satay

This had all the right ingredients — chicken, Chinese sausage, dark soy sauce, and a bit of salted fish — but it just didn’t hit the claypot sweet spot. Missing that smoky aroma and those crispy, charred rice bits, it felt more like a regular bowl than the slow-cooked, deeply satisfying dish I was hoping for. Decent but not the claypot comfort I was craving 》RM12 / Small

📍吴記腊味瓦煲雞飯

Fa Ge Lok Lok offers a no-frills lok lok experience with prices starting from RM1.50 per stick. Many visitors, like myself, find their way here thanks to the popular beancurd next door. While the selection of food and sauces is somewhat limited and might not stand out as the best lok lok around, it's still a convenient spot to grab a quick bite. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but for the price and convenience, I wouldn’t mind coming back again.

For those who are fan of this wanton noodles place at the city centre of JB may realised their original spot at the corner shop has been closed down. So in case you don’t know, they actually moved out from this place to another place 10 mins ride away.

They are now located a Taman Sentosa continue to serve their signature wanton noodles. Available in both white and black version, which basically mean whether you want it to go with the dark sauce or not.

The white version is simple yet still tasty without the dark sauce. And I would say their char siew is the main highlight from the bowl, so fragrant and crispy. Wanton pieces are separated in the soup bowl.

JB has a few places that sell laksa and WW Laksa would be one of them that is closer to the custom.

Love the rich flavour of laksa soup here, which is spicy enough. But they also provide additional chili paste if you want more spicier.

Unlike some other places, WW Laksa serve a more standard portion with ingredients; without the need to choose your own items to add. But of course you also can add-on additional items on top of what they have already included here.

There’s also 2 options for you to choose here, one is the normal without the blood clam and one with the blood clam.

If you not hate eating blood clam I would recommend you to go with it. There’s also fishball and fish cake that already inside your laksa.

The type of noodles also available to choose here.

Beside laksa and some other noodles, they also grilled otah and selling pieces by pieces.

When searching for Pokok Cherry in JB, you would find 2 different locations with the same name.

I went to the one that serves nasi lemak from early morning 8:30am at the location few minutes drive from the custom.

There wasn’t any signage here, just a rundown setting of roof on a rusty green land beside the flyover.

Yet you could see people already standing around waiting for them to open at 8:30am and quickly filled the seats on weekend morning.

This Malay restaurant only sell Malay style of breakfast with nasi lemak and noodles. Which you will self-service by taking the dishes you want to go with your meal.

Not many options for the nasi lemak, but the standard one would be getting the fried chicken and fried egg.

You could taste the pandan flavour from their rice, matched with their popular crispy fried chicken.

This is one of the famous fishball noodle places in Johor Bahru, tables are usually occupied with the rest standing around waiting patiently for tables to be cleared.

Their fishball noodle comes with your choose of noodle and a bowl of warm soup with fishballs.

Choose from either spicy or non-spicy, which you will find generous chili sauce at the bottom of the noodle.

Their fishball really worth the trip to come here, for it’s chewy texture and not too fishy.

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.

If you asking the Johor residents where to grab decent supper at night, this place usually will be on the list of recommendation.

This noodles place only open in the evening from 6pm onwards till late night, making it one of the best supper spot to grab some meal at night.

You can choose from either sitting outdoor beside the road, or indoor with air-conditioned.

As for their wan tan mee, you can choose either with the black sauce or not, whether to go with spicy or non-spicy. Also to choose the portion either small or big.

I actually like it considering the ingredients given, every plate of wan tan mee will come with a fried cracker, char siew, veggie and wanton in a bowl of soup.

I believe most people who have visited to Johor Bahru before would have hear of or already try this place.

You may need to drive, take bus or Grab to reach here from custom. But totally worth the trip when you see all the ingredients on display.

Yes, the laksa here is much like our yong tau foo, where you first need to pick any ingredients that you want to add on to your laksa.

Lots of options available, from vegetables to beancurd to fishballs and more. Then choose the type of your noodle and you are good to go.
