新山最正美食Best Foodie Haunts in JB

Dear friends
After doing the foodie haunts in Malacca, the way to go is to head south. For one, the food is slightly different from Klang Valley, or shall I say less Cantonese tasting. In case you didn’t noticed taste does vary from the Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Cantonese etc. Guess we are lucky to have all the various Chinese food at our doorstep. BTW, this episode is all on JB food, which means the palate will lean towards Teochew. Of course you’ll also find the usual street food, but done the Teochew way. Please go and support the local street food, be it in JB or otherwise. Thanks for the support and see you in the next

This is very interesting , i have never ventured in JB for food . Thank you for sharing these locations ! It definitely worth the trip . Also rude owners no matter how good their food is , its just not worth mentioning at all. Eating and enjoying a meal is a whole experience from serving to being serve and the enjoying the taste. An arrogant and rude owners spoils it from the very start. There's always other better options . Good job Elmo on this !

I hate rude store owner, thumbs up for walking away, believe me it takes a lot of courage to say NO, there are always better places around, no need to accept rude service after all you are paying with good money.

Which stall is that?

[@malaysiafood328]

sorry vince but I can’t spell it out but it’s opposite the Dai Shu tou kuey teow zai

[@cheemengchoong]

Good illustration on Johore and also showing us the food in JB. Something new I learned is the way they named the "TeowChew Koay Chap" as "Koay Teow Zai". Liked the description where it was mentioned " after going for a pigeon's rounding" ( in Cantonese Tar kor pak kap chuen) - still not able to find any stalls to likings. Thank you again Elmo.

At last, you're in JB! 👍😊 At historical Hiap Joo Bakery, there is the last remaining wood fired oven. Among the popular buns, I loved their coconut bun the most. IMHO even in KL I cannot find another banana cake better than theirs.

[@malaysiafood328]

No choice coz fans keeping requesting

[@KenshinAsuka]

Thanks for being transparent about what you speak to the hawkers around Malaysia. You do give us the insight. At least the basic Cantonese and limited Mandarin I know ensure that I'm not a banana

[@albertlim3989]

Elmo, I have been enjoying your videos and I find them very interesting and informative . Besides the foods , those information and history background are very great content too . Recently , I realize that you are currently highlighting foods in south peninsular. May I suggest some smaller town in Johor like Muar , Batu Pahat, Kulai or etc when you have chance and time . Until next time stay safe and healthy.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Albert will definitely look to these smaller southern towns

"Best Foodie Haunts" Impressed with the title. The word HAUNT has 2 definitions (1) to appear in the form of a ghost (2) a place frequented by ppl often "A place that is the haunt of a particular person is one which they often visit becuz they enjoy going there." Indeed, English is a beautiful language.

Awesome video! We loved learning the history of JB and all the great information you provided about where to eat and what to get at each place. So nice that you were able to share a bit about the people running these businesses as well. We're in JB for the next week and we're keen to try some of these dishes ourselves 😋

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks for confidence in me

[@kenlan3347]

No no, Elmo, I am afraid that the southern Chinese traditional cutleries are disappearing the Mainland China (and we are all intelligent enough to know why). In fact, Overseas Chinese (esp the compatriots in Malaysia) have actually maintained the traditions for us. Let's be honest, if you want to try the most authentic Cantonese cuisine, would you head to 廣州十三行 or Markham, Canada? Keep up with these videos. You're a driving force to keep this art alive.

[@jasonyap2284]

Welcome to Johor Bahru Elmo. You miss couple of Teochew influence dishes, for example 水粿，三樓干米粉 and 粿條湯. You should also try JB style laksa (not laksa Johor). Compare to central and north, food from Johor is more bland.

[@edwuave]

I always think the southern part has the least tasty food, and I'm glad Elmo Lee agrees with me. The food is scarily bad in the south, thus the food haunts him.

[@malaysiafood328]

Thanks Fong but I can't say their food is bad

[@alfietlp]

apologies if you explained this before, but i just started watching your videos. your video is always dubbed right? it means that even if we see you talking like in the beginning you never use the actual voice from the footage but instead you dubbed over it with additional recording. is that right?

[@malaysiafood328]

How did u guess, it isn't my voice

[@alfietlp]

@@malaysiafood328 hi Elmo. because the dubbed voice is much clearer and doesnt sounds like its coming from street recording. please ignore the haters. it only took them 3 seconds to leave a hate comment but it took a lot of effort for you to bring us good videos. keep up the good work!

As a JB born person, I can say it's ok if you don't speak Chinese or dialects, so far all hawkers will try their best to serve you. But I know if you don't speak Cantonese in Klang Valley you are doomed to be knocked up with exorbitant prices.

Elmo Lee Personally I think this video of JB foodies is far from the truth on real good food in JB. Why ??? it's because your left out one of JB food icon when you were just around that area. The food icon I would like to acknowledge here which you miss is the famous Best of the Best chicken chop in jb City 2nd generations 76years old Restaurant HWA MUI. The shop you mention in your video on chicken chop was originally came out from Restaurant HWA MUI. HWA MUI not only serves very good n one of the best chicken chop in jb but also serves very good roti bakar butter kaya n beautiful ❤️ hainanese coffee. I am a loyal customer of Restaurant HWA MUI for the last 40 years. My only intentions are to share gooood food with your subscribers. TQ.

Mandarin destroyed it all, nowadays many Chinese young people speak in Mandarin, their parents encouraged them to speak in Mandarin. Chinese dialect other than Mandarin steps aside.

Unfortunately you r right leong especially singapore

I personally don't agree with your opinion.There is no harm learning and using Mandarin as a communication language between Chinese people of different dialect . Mandarin and Dialect are equally important.

The bad attitude bakuteh shop that was mentioned by Elmo wasn't worth trying, I had personally tried it before, and the taste is below average compared to many other good bakuteh in Johor Bahru, to name a few: 1. Bak Cheng Bak Kut Teh 81, Jalan Harmonium 35/1, Taman Mount Austin, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia 2. 国泰肉骨茶 Kadai Makanan Cathay 26, Jalan Sutera Merah 2, Taman Sutera, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia 3. Restaurant Shun Fa Bak Kut Teh 43, Jalan Indah 16/12, Taman Bukit Indah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia From my personal experience, the lady boss of Kin Hua kopitiam is quite rude and has a bad attitude towards customer during my patron. Will never return. I recommend 沁园咖啡馆 Qin Garden, 7, Jalan Dhoby, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Better roti panggang, nicer coffee and tea, and a must try Nasi padang Adam. Nice food nice people there. Restaurant IT Roo mentioned in Elmo's video is a must try for tourist. Even the locals love it. Boss Robin is a down-to-earth business owner who controls his quality of foods strictly. It was no surprise for a food shop to last for more than 20 years!

You have to try the "dry" bak kut teh, it looks dark and scary but the flavour... my goodness. I brought my Taiwanese friends and Singaporean friends to go there many times and never failed my expectations even once.
