Use this sketch to help you navigate. The numbers 1 to 12 refer to the
mentioned food places. Note that the sketch is not drawn to scale and is meant only
as a guide.
After clearing immigration, walk through City Square, and head for Jalan Wong Ah
Fook which is the busy main street in JB downtown.
When on Jalan Wong Ah Fook, walk in the direction of Singapore and look out for
this Hindu temple across the road from City Square. You can use this Hindu temple
as the point of reference.
BREAKFAST
If you want to have a nice kaya toast and coffee breakfast, I suggest you try Kin

Wah or Hua Mui kopitiams. Both are popular Hainanese kopitiams that have been
around for decades.
Kin Wah is well known for its kampung half boiled eggs and of course its robust
traditional Hainanese coffee. It also has popular crowd pullers like toast bread and
buns, nasi lemak, mee siam and mee rebus.
Hua Mui is an institution here in old JB but the premises and menu have been
modernised. Sipping Hainanese coffee and having toast bread is a ritual for many of
Hua Muis regular customers.
LUNCH

For lunch, you can try out Kin Wahs famous nasi padang. Kin Wah is always jam
packed with office workers during lunch who find their fresh home cooked nasi
padang dishes irresistible. I especially like their flavourful beef rendang and
refreshing fried bean sprouts.
If you want to try traditional Teochew kway teow, then walk over to Ah Hua kway
teow. Ah Hua is one of the oldest kway teow soup shops in JB. Ah Hua even still
uses charcoal to boil its pork bone soup something that I have not seen anywhere
else anymore. Spend RM16 and you will get a bowl chock full of luxuries like
abalone, fresh oysters, liver, kidney and more.

Nearby is another traditional Teochew kway teow shop Sang Heng run by an
elderly gentleman just beside the OCBC bank. Waiting time here is long here due to
the number of customers but it has a certain rustic charm that keeps drawing
people back, including many from Singapore.
If you want to have a vegetarian meal, then Annalakshmi is the place for you.
Delicious traditional Indian vegetarian meals lovingly cooked by volunteers, many of
whom are mothers who are experienced in home cooking. Uniquely, there is no fixed
price for your meal at Annalakshmi. Annalakshmi operates on the principle of eat to
your hearts content, pay as your heart feels.

If you want to have a hearty Western meal, you can go back to Hua Mui for their
Hainanese style Western food. Their classic chicken chop is especially popular.
They also have local staples like mee goreng and fried hor fun.
Alternatively, you can try IT Roo Caf another traditional Hainanese caf. IT Roo
is renowned for its chunky fried chicken chop and fresh mushroom sauce I love it.
For the information of Muslim readers, both Hua Mui and IT Roo are certified Halal.

If you like duck, there is Ya Wang, an old established herbal roast duck shop. Ya
Wang is the appointed Adviser to Singapores Dian Xiao Er roast duck franchise. I
like my roast duck to be crispier but there many people who love Ya Wangs softer
herbal style.
Along the main street, Jalan Wong Ah Fook is Kam Long fish head curry. The
secret of Kam Longs success? It makes its popular curry fish head with the
freshest fish and vegetables thats it. Try it. Many people rave about Kam Longs
curry fish head as the lunch time crowd testifies.

When you feel the afternoon heat, pop by the 100 year old Kok Yow Yong herbal
tea shop for a quick thirst quencher. If you need an extra energy boost or to fight off
a cold, you can even ask for a "special".
RECOMMENDED TAKE AWAYS
Before you return home, remember to drop by the two traditional bakeries in JB
downtown. Hiap Joo and Salahuddin make a wide range of traditional cakes and
pastries. Both Hiap Joo and Salahuddin bakeries still use their decades old wood
fired ovens! Dropping in to watch them use these ancient ovens is an education in
itself.
I especially love Hiap Joos fluffy, soft and moist banana cakes made only with fresh
natural ingredients.

Salahuddin makes those giant sized Bengali curry puffs that bring back memories of
my school days in 1970s Singapore.
DINNER
If you stay for dinner, check out Meldrum Walk. This is a row of back lane push cart
stalls that slowly come to life starting from around 5:30pm before coming to full
bloom at around 7:00pm.
There is a bewildering range of choices to suit every palate. I have yet to try most of
the stalls but these I liked.

The BBQ chicken is outstanding. It is very basic, just a simple marinade and the
sweetness of the fresh BBQ chickens own juices!
There are several kambing soup stalls. This kambing soup I've tried is hefty and
loaded with chunky pieces of lamb.
The tender and tasty oh chien is thick with eggs and huge fresh oysters.
There is a Tandoori chicken stall that cooks the chicken and naan with a traditional
tandoor oven.
There are many BBQ seafood stalls in Meldrum Walk both in the Halal and non
Halal sections. Ive tried Kak Longs stingray and catfish, and I liked it.
There you have it. If you want to try some things new or experiences not available in
Singapore, these are all within a short leisurely walk away from City Square.
Another walking food tour of JB that you may like to try is around the Jalan Lumba
Kuda area - click on the picture for the full article.
Just a word of caution. JB is generally a safe place but please do be alert and take
the usual precautions to have an enjoyable outing e.g. move away when
approached by Scratch and Win scammers.
Wish you happy eating and a safe and fun day trip in JB.

Its about 30 minutes walk from City Square to Taman Sentosa... Walkable for
some ;P
Yes and thanks Ellena. You read my mind ;P There are another group of good
food shops at the Jalan Lumba Kuda area which is also within 10 minutes
walk from Malaysia Immigration/ JB Sentral. This is the subject of my next
posting ;D

Thanks so much for the very informative post. I would appreciate if you could share with
us on any nearest supermarkets around the City Sq areas eg, giant, jusco etc. As i am
traveling by foot and i am not very familiar with buses and cabs there. I love Pandan
City but i got stuck one evening with no way of getting back to sg thus im looking for
alternatives. Oh yes, if you any ideas where to get the best halal satays, that'd be
awesome. Thanks! great site! :D

What a great way to promote the various food stalls in JB. Our best friends in Singapore
sent this and the four of us will certainly visit JB in May to try these places out. Each
time we visit Singapore we go to JB to try out eating places as well. These shops/stalls
are new and look very appetising. Drooling has already started!! Thanks for the info.
Happy New Year to all.
