It's a western restaurant in a hotel. The milk tea there is pretty good. I feel like this restaurant is similar to Shizhimi. The fried noodles are delicious, and the vegetable salad is also delicious, the cabbage is great.
There is a pastry station, salad bar station, hot beverage station, noodle station, grill station with gravy and fruit station. Great atmosphere with music

The service staff was very polite, unlike most Malay restaurants I have been to in Kuala Lumpur, where the service staff speaks very good English and meets every need I have.
Specialty food bone soup is popular because its aroma attracts customers to taste.

This is a food stall-style Bak Kut Teh restaurant. The Bak Kut Teh here is not very strong in flavor. It is dry-fried, similar to the braised kind, and tastes better. The tofu skin inside tastes very good.
We were observing business in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. At lunchtime, our Malaysian partner took us to eat Bak Kut Teh. The Bak Kut Teh here is similar to the Bak Kut Teh we have in Singapore, with a sweet soup and no smell of meat and bones.
We can add our favorite ingredients at will, which costs extra. A colleague and I don’t eat offal, but only like bean curd, pig skin, enoki mushrooms, tofu, and pig liver. We also ordered braised pig’s feet, braised tofu, and pickled cabbage. With the marinade, we had to order a bowl of white rice.
Others also ordered sesame oil chicken, fried dough sticks, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. . . I ate some too. Oh my God! After eating this day, I will gain one or two kilograms.

It is very similar to Hainan's tea restaurant. The morning tea inside is good. The bread made is delicious, like a fried knife and steamed bun. The mouse powder tastes good. The drinks inside are more Southeast Asian style.
The local time-honored brand, accidentally found, because I live in the city, I don't live in Lego, the taste is very good, it belongs to the Hong Kong-style snack, the chicken chops and bread inside are delicious, the authentic.

The environment is pleasant, and it is so romantic to eat exquisite Western food facing the sea. The air conditioning in the restaurant is moderately warm, and there are many popular check-in spots where you can change clothes and take photos. Many newlyweds come here to hold weddings and take photos.
The noodles here are also very delicious and chewy. A lot of sauces are blended into them. The dishes here are also covered with sauces, and they taste quite good. The portions are also very good.

A local friend brought us here for lunch on the weekend. This Bak Kut Teh shop has been open for many years. The decoration is not very elaborate. But the food is delicious. So the business is very good. In addition to Bak Kut Teh, the hot fish here is also delicious.

This seafood restaurant, Fusheng Seafood House, is very popular among local diners. More than 80% of the diners here are locals. The seafood here is really cost-effective.
This is a very famous seafood restaurant in Johor Bahru. This is the main branch, so the environment is average, similar to a food stall. The steamed fish is very good. They even have Longton here, but the price is very expensive.

It's a coffee shop similar to morning tea. The black coffee is very good. The chicken chop in the set meal is very good, but it's fried very dry. The poached egg is good, but the steak is a bit tough.
It has been two years since I came here to eat the signature fried chicken chop and kaya toast, which is known as the "best in the city". The western restaurant has been open for many years, and the western food they sell is classic dishes, with large portions and reasonable prices. I asked my Malaysian friend to bring me here today.
The small restaurant was full of diners before noon. There are tables outside the restaurant, but the weather was too hot, so I chose to wait for a seat indoors.
Four people each ordered a western meal, plus a plate of signature fried noodles and a kaya toast. The signature fried chicken chop is still crispy and tender, and the signature fried noodles are sour and spicy and appetizing. I haven't eaten the kaya toast here for a long time. I took a bite and then remembered to take a photo.
The drinks I missed are hot Horlicks and iced Root beer float

The curry-flavored fish head is very good. The fish head is relatively fresh, and the taste of the curry can be adjusted by yourself. There are even eggs and pork ribs in it. It is not greasy, and the fried clams are also delicious.
They specialize in curry fish head, which needs to be cooked after you order, so the waiting time is very long. However, the curry tastes good, and the curry is completely wrapped around the fish head, which is very delicious. You can also add vegetables and soy products.
