Hi GUYS!! :) Get ready for a picture flooded post of FOOD, FOOD & more FOOD! This post is dedicated to my recent weekend trip to JB aka Johor Bahru and my food adventures there. From the famous 'Pontian Wantan Noodle', BKT (Bak Kut Teh) to the proclaimed 'BEST Chicken Chop in JB', its all here! Without further ado, enjoy the pictures and I hope you wouldn't feel too hungry afterwards! ;)
Before that, I would like to mention that my stay at KSL Resort (JB) was an absolutely pleasurable experience. Easy access to many delicious food around (Both the 'Pontian Wanton Noodle' branch and BKT restaurant was within walking distance), shopping mall right within the hotel and delicious buffet breakfast spread!

I have personally tried the Pontian Wanton Noodle branches in KL but for some reason, the one in JB is spot on when it comes to taste and the texture of the noodles itself.
Noodle time!!
Noodle time!!
Good Stuff right there!
Trust me and go with the one with black sauce + chili sauce instead of the regular black sauce wantan noodle. DELICIOUS!
Extra crispy fried wanton with Mayo & Chili sauce. Addictive!
Laksa with flat noodles. It was alright, reminded me of 'Katong Laksa' from singapore. The santan taste can be a little overwhelming.
'Cham' Ice. A mixture of tea and coffee. Pontian's version to me is ON POINT! Not too sweet with loadsa small chunks of ice and well balanced. Perfect on a hot sunny day!
Honeydew saga to finish. Light and just nice.
Oh, durian. Creamy & sweet with a nice hint of bitterness. I'm not too particular with the types of durian that I eat, it's just awesome!! There are many durian vendors during the night outside our hotel, so.........Durian for supper!
Next Day:
This BKT restaurant was right opposite the hotel. As i was having my buffet breakfast at 9am, I starred accross and noticed that customers were already starting to crowd in that early. Must be pretty good, I thought :) And it was off for BKT during lunch.
Looks pretty off, but no doubt sedap!!
The BKT pot came to us boiling hot! (Look at all that steam!) Just the way I like my soups :)
No BKT is complete without Rice :) Period.
Mid-post style :) Nothing like a comfortable one piece jumper from H&M with my favourite oh-so-comfy kimono top from Cotton On.
Day 3, 'The Best Chicken Chop'?
Day 3, 'The Best Chicken Chop'?
It Roo Cafe, located in Johor Bahru Town on Jalan Dhoby claims with its slogan to have the 'Best Chicken Chop In Town'. So was it any good? Scroll down and find out! :)
Looks promising!
The visual look on the menu sure makes you hungry :)
Choices of extras for the chicken chop.
On to the 'star' of the cafe:
On to the 'star' of the cafe:
Did I like it? Yes. The chicken chop itself had a good crunch to it and was very meaty unlike some other chicken chops out there that looks way too malnourished. Sauce was quite good too with a decent amount of mushroom slices in it.
We also tried the black pepper sauce, nothing too special about that.

Not enough protein? Top it up with 2 fried eggs for an extra heavy duty meal.
Fried Rice Pedas (RM7.50)
Not Recommended, Lack of salt, taste and flavor.

Singapore Bee Hoon (RM7.50)
Pretty much similar to the fried rice. I've had way better ones in mamak.

Rootbeer Float (RM6)

Pricey for drinks, good thirst quenchers.
