Two weeks ago, my dad decided to send my grandma, Tok Pah back to JB (she was in KL for one of my nieces' cukur jambul). A trip back to JB is not complete without FOOD.
Made my first trip to Hua Mui for lunch with my dad, uncle and cousin. It is located along Jalan Trus and they have been at the same shop since 1946. Upon entering the shop, it reminded me a lot of those old shops in Melaka. Tried their signature Hainanese Chicken Chop which tasted so good! The service is a bit slow though so if you are like me, taking my own sweet time exploring my hometown then the wait should be bearable. What makes this place have that 'kedai lama' feel is the pak ciks and ah peks who would be sitting downstairs, chit chatting, smoking cigarettes and basically just lepak-ing and people watching. I'm definitely going back there whenever I'm in town. Why didn't I even find out of this amazing place before this?

Another must have when I'm back is JB's speacialty : Ais Kacang with chocolate sauce at the corner Gerai along Jalan Sungai Chat. It's a must try for non-Johoreans, something different from the normal ais kacang you would normally have in any other state.
I must make a longer trip back to my hometown down south to taste all the other good food that Johor has to offer. Sorry if I made you drool!
