I havn't been updating my blogs much these days. Reason is that work have been piling up and finally, I can find some breathing space. Wrong. Just that I've been engrossed in some new hobbies lately. Simple.

Anyway, I decided that this blog needs some refreshing content. I love food. Especially those up North. Where is North? Malaysia to be precise.


Singapore have always wanted to claim that 'We're the FOOD PARADISE'. Yah,right. If we're the FOOD PARADISE, then why some many Singaporean love to travel up Malaysia to get their fix? I mean, we brave through the horrible traffice jams, lousy and slow services at the check points just to taste that wonderful gourmet.


Even with the current stupid system of scanning our fingers at the checkpoints ( to deter terrorist, over-stayers, illegals...), we's rather bite the bullet and succum to the great food, which is just a stone's throw away.


Last week, I went up to JB (Johor Baru) to get my car serviced and was also on a mission to find great food. So I switched on my GPS and decided to seek it wisdom and advice.

It pointed to a place ( can't remember ) that promises it served the 'BEST Bah Kut Teh, probably in JB'. Well, since I'm hungry and my GPS says so, I decided to let it do the 'walking'.

Drove for around 11 km from Plentong and finally reached the location. First look, not too bad. There's a small lunch time crowd at the stall. Then I decided to order what's best. Bak Kut Teh and also spotted my favourite braised pig trotter with vinegar. Ok. Ordered both, without checking out the price. BIG MISTAKE.




Review: Food's not bad. Not too spicy. Not too salty. But the portion abit little.
Price: RM$20 including herbal drink.

Thank Mr GPS for showing me the 'most expensive Bak kut Teh in JB'.
