JK reader Jasmine suggested that I should try the old laksa stall at Ulu Tiram directly opposite the Chinese school SKJ (C) Tiram. Thanks to Jasmine's suggestion, I have the story of another heritage hawker in JK blog.
地南叻沙。另一 家柔佛叻沙的老字号。年轻一代已经掌管了五十年老摊位。 味道是传统的古早味。有椰子的香味，而不是太辣。智南华小对面。
Finding Tiram Laksa is easy. The home based stall is right across Jalan Kekabu opposite SKJ (C) Tiram.

Tony Tan Hails Singapore Italy Co-operation - Let's Celebrate with Singapore Chili Crab Spaghetti :-D JK1502
My favourite ways to eat spaghetti are the minimalist aglio e olio followed by self indulgent Singapore chili crab spaghetti :-D I am not sure where this brilliant Italian - Singapore fusion of two national dishes was invented but the best chili crab spaghetti that I've tasted in Johor Bahru is at EH HE Art Cafe at Jalan Tan Hiok Nee.

It's all about the Handmade Fish Balls - Ah Hua at Johor Bahru Sri Tebrau Food Centre 亚华手工鱼丸 JK1505
After stumbling upon Ah Hua in Stulang Laut and enjoyed their fish ball noodles back in 2012, Ah Hua moved and I lost track of the stall ever since. So, I was really glad that buddy MC Kee mentioned to me that Ah Hua is now located at Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre. I quickly made my way down to Ah Hua for that long lost feeling of tasting their famed hand made fish balls.

Most Popular Dim Sum in Johor - Gim Cheng in Taman Daya 锦成茶楼 JK1506
Came to Gim Cheng at Taman Daya this morning - this large corner kopitiam type dim sum shop is the most popular in JB to my knowledge.
Gim Cheng was busy as ever this Saturday morning - the whole place was full and there were customers waiting for tables. Most customers were family groups, often three generations.
Stay calm.
Service is fast and friendly. Table turn over is pretty quick

Curry Sah Hor Fun at Kee Kim Huat Coffee Shop in Johor Bahru 成记咖哩河粉 JK1507
Sah Hor Fun 沙河粉 is a flat rice ribbon noodle originally from the Shahe 沙河 region of Guangzhou, China. I think people from Shahe would never imagine what happened to their staple food when it came to Malaysia. The versatile Sah Hor Fun rice noodle is eaten in many ways - stir fried, served in soup, and in a uniquely Malaysian fusion - bathed in a flood of spicy chicken curry.
In Johor Bahru,

Johor Tua Thow JB Kway Teow Soup - No Gimmicks, Just Fresh Ingredients Well Prepared 大頭餐室 JK1508
In JB, I like it when I have to share a table with strangers. I always take the opportunity to ask my new friend why s/he like this stall. I would go further to ask him/her for other recommendations. That's how I was introduced to Tua Thow kway teow thng which old customers refer to as "Larkin Bomba kway teow thng" because it is across the road from the fire station. That was in January 2012,

Dropped by Restoran Do Do Do today on the way from JB to KL. We conserved our stomach space, endured a bit of famishedness till we arrived at Tangkak which is nearly 2 hours drive from JB because we wanted to feast on Do Do Do's famous beef dishes. The drive from JB to KL has never been more enjoyable :-D

KL Pudu Beef King Noodles 牛王牛肉面 JK1511
Went today to the grimy Pudu area of KL which is one of my favourite food hunting grounds. It's my lucky day today - stumbled upon Beef King 牛王 which is a popular old stall here.
It was near closing time when I got here, so I was one of the last customers of the day. Fortunately, there was still beef and broth available though all the kway teow have been sold out.

Oh! So this is the Famous Chow Kiat Klang Bak Kut Teh - Now then I Know 超吉美味肉骨茶 JK1512
Went to Klang today to hunt for bak kut teh. Driving around the old town, we stumbled upon a familiar bak kut teh shop, the one which I used to eat at when I was working in KL over a decade ago.
For the first time I noted the name of the bak kut teh shop - it's Restoran Chow Kiat. In the old days before I started food blogging, I seldom note the name of the shops - in this case, it's the "

When I was food hunting in Taman Berkerley, the old residential district in Klang has changed beyond recognition. The once laid back enclave is now a thriving food hub.
When I passed by this busy mee hoon kueh shop, I had immediate flashbacks of eating here before. At that time, over a decade ago, it was the best mee hoon kueh that I have tasted then.

It has to happen. I must make a pilgrimage to the flag bearers of Klang style bak kut teh - one of them is Mo Sang Kor. The premier bak kut teh shop has outlets at Taman Berkerley and Pandamaran. We opted for the old parent stall at Pandamaran.
Mo Sang Kor is at the junction of Jalan Chan Ah Choo and Jalan Jagong. The little corner shop is obscured by big trees and cars parked at the front.

Visited the Ramadan Bazar at Bangsar, Jalan Telawi 4 this evening which is one of my old haunts. I used to come to the Sunday pasar malam here, and of course, the Ramadan bazar during the Muslim holy month.
I estimate that there are about 50 to 60 food stalls here, a bit smaller scale than before but still attracting a good crowd. The bazaar used to take up two streets but now it's only one

Yong Peng Fish Balls at Bebola Ikan Anthony JK1517
If you are a fish ball lover, every time you drive pass Yong Peng town along Malaysia's North South Expressway, I suggest you make a stop at Bebola Ikan Anthony for their hand made ikan parang fish balls.
It's easy to find Bebola Ikan Anthony. When you are along Yong Peng's only main road, Jalan Besar, look out for this huge sign board clearly visible from the main road.
