    Good recommendations with good photos taken there. Thanks for sharing this.

    I’ve realized that you’d never done any review of Johor Bahru’s food. I believe that you should have been to Johor Bahru as you’re currently working in Singapore.

    Correct me if i’m wrong. Cheers!

    Hi guys,

    U must try out K3K in kuchai lama. Try out Penghulu Fried Chicken there. The Char kuih and 2 in 1 bread is good too. Recommended by Chui Ling of One day Five Meals. Food selection is better than Old Town and Pappa Rich.

    For Food Lovers going to Ipoh, I would recommend 2 best food that I find to be best of the best…

    1. Chee Cheong Fun at Pasir Pinji, Jalan 5, they open shop at 1pm but you must reach at 12pm to get a number first, the que is very long. Simple dried shrimp CCF with sweet & chili sause with soya sause and fried onion. GREAT!!!

    2. Sotong Kangkong Ipoh Style with peanut sauce – Medan Selera Ipoh Stadium LOW KWAN stall no.38. His recipe has been passed down from the grandfather who has been selling since the old Ipoh Hospital food stall. They also serve great cockles and rojak. BEST!!!

    hey vkeong,
    i found a nice pan mee place located at kepong desa aman puri area. if you’re free, you can go and try it.
    do you know jalan desa 2/2? right after you past a shell petrol station if you’re coming from LDP. This cafe is at the business district shop located at the right hand side of the road (opposite of the shell petrol station), 168 Cafe. There’s station 1, 99 speedmart, 7-11 nearby.
    The one i recommend is their dry pan mee. thumbs-up for a big dry pan mee for just 5 bucks! (price might be adjusted)

    Hi vkeong

    Just here to share with you.
    There is a Town called Sitiawan, about 2 and a half hour drive from KL or 3 hour drive from Penang. The small town is famous of “Hock Chew”(福州) cuisine.
    At the center of the town, there is a Restaurant called “Pek King(北京)” restaurant, probably you will find all the “Hock Chew” Food there. You will have to try the “O Chean”(same with Penang oyster fried) you will find penang oyster fried is pan frying, but there, you will find the oyster fried is deep frying(don’t forget to dip with the local Kg Koh Chilli Sauce). Beside, you will also have to try the fish bladder in hot and sour soup(鱼鳔酸), “lu mian(卤面 in hock chew)” hock chew style fry noodle, and also “ang jiu mi sua(红酒面线 a type of noodle serve with local red wine)
    Beside the food, you will find a small stall just few minutes driving from the restaurant selling the famous local biscuss called “guong biang”(光饼 in hock chew), the biscuss is made by floor and then place in a hot clay oven(same like how the Indian Roti Naan is made)there will be few type of stuffing, but the most delicious is onion with lard stuffing. The stall open 7day a week but sometimes will close on sundaprobably not able to purchase more than 20 pieces if you didn’t make a “booking” i use to purchase 50 ~ 70 pieces if i go there, a pieces cost around RM0.60 if not mistake. the biscuss can store in freezer and if you feel hungry, just take a pieces or two, deep in a bowl of water for few second and toast for 2~3 minutes.y, you

    Dear Vi Keong

    Guess you have been to many places to makan (eat) in Malaysia, was wondering if you have tried a small eatery located in Molek, Johor Bahru, Malaysia called Mama Nynoya Food.

    I been there many times and find the food rather good as compared to those in Malacca.

    Give a shot at this place if you happen to be there !!

    Cheers

    Dear Sir,

    My name is Kam Soon Cheng from Kuala Lumpur.

    I intend to build a ‘Cari Makan’ app for local people who is looking for Malaysia Food.
    Your current web portal might want to have those data to be accessible by your targeted mobile customer.

    The main features of the app:
    To track the geographical locations of the restaurant, where the user might wish to go for lunch.
    Provides name and address and type of restaurant.
    Display restaurant on a map.
    “Lunchtime alarm” – for busy people….
    User can re-sort the listing following their preference.
    Latest news from a restaurant’s RSS feed.
    User can re-sort the listing following their preference.
    Latest news from a restaurant’s RSS feed.

    ………………………..You can give your suggestion to enhance the app.

    By having the apps that promote your web portal data base, it will definite increase your business penetration.

    I intend to build the app base on Android platform, base on the reasons:
    1. The growing rate of Android devices is in accelerate fast:
    http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/cell-phones/android-growth-rate-continues-to-accelerate/12166.html

    2. And there are wide range of different Android devices with different target price. Some entry model of Android smart phone pricing is consider affordable to those who cannot afford to purchase the expensive iPhone, especially for those migrating from Symbian platform. This will increase the Android user market share.

    3. It is still less numbers of apps in Android Market as compare to App Store, this will increase the app search visibility.

    4. I also done some search on Android market, there are not many similar app for Malaysia market, so it is great time to start now before others !!!

    Kindly let me know your though and we can discuss further on the possibility to team up for this project together.

    Thank you.
    Best regards.

    Have you tried That Little Gerai at AU5D Keramat. It serves fabulous ribs…it’s meaty, juicy and the sauce is so nice. Maybe you’ve tried a better one but to me that’s the best halal ribs I’ve ever tasted….the rest of the menu is not dissapointing..

    Give it a try ya…

    Btw…I love your blog..this is where I came to know about Hameed Mee Pata in Penang, Tq.

    I like your blog as I can search for good food in KL & PJ.

    I would appreciate if there is a category or notation for ‘HALAL’ and ‘NON-HALAL’. This is too avoid disappointment when an expected halal eatery turns out to be otherwise.

    Lets do it for the MALAYSIANS!!!

      Hi, for the later postings I do try to categorize the food as halal or non-halal as much as I could. But some places which do not have halal certification I just put them under pork free category

    I really like your blog! just found it today while searching for Raju’s makan place in PJ. Good to know!

    Looking from your list of eatery places, there’s not so much of Halal food. Since you are very good at tasting good food, why not try Halal food and list it in? Really looking forward for it! And hopefully to try everything in your wonderful list.

    Thanks! :P
