Crappy Scare
Was walking at Jusco Tebrau City’s open air car park the other day, and I saw…
Smashed car
… and I thought: “Geez, good thing I’m leaving JB dee. Those extream vandalisers are now targeting cars parked at supermarket.”
Then I saw…
sign board
… huh? A sign board?
With anticipation of a police warning sign or something…

All that relieve that I’m leaving JB, for nothing.

Sugar free + lots of creamer = less fattening -___-”
deLicacies
Little did I know, this lil’ accident of coming to JB had turned into an adventurous food experience. Though I couldn’t be more glad i’ll leave this place soon with the criminal rate rising like hell’s fire, but i must admit it wasn’t all bad. (indeed food-haven-Penang doesn’t have it all)
mi-hoon-kuey
Mi-Hoon-kuey 面粉粿: Pronounced in Hokkien. Also known as Pan-Mee (Hokkien) or Pan-Miin (Cantonese) in Penang, with its ‘mee’ made of plain-flour and egg in teared flat pieces as shown in pic, or in flattened-stripes. Which explains its fragrance compared to other types of mee. Served kon-loh (dry) or in soup.
This dish was known as a poor-man’s dish once upon a time. But is now priced at a staggering RM3.50 in JB considering there’s nothing much in a bowl of pan-mee. BUT, its all worth it IF you can find stalls that make THE perfect pan-mee that emits fragrance when you put a spoonful of mee-hoon-kuey in your mouth, chewing along the slightly salted fried ikan-bilis (anchovies) and “money-leaves” (as told by my grandmother). Huish… just the thought of it makes me mouth water like water hose.
Lei-Cha
Lei-Cha 擂茶: translated as “pounded tea” in Mandrin. Wikipedia explains it as a beverage, but it seemed that in JB, its sold with rice with toppings. This dish are originally consumed by the Hakkas in China. Sad to say, I never tried Lei-Cha until I came to JB. I can’t even speak Hakka, considering its my ancestor’s mother tougue for generations. 
(no worries, i speak Hai-Nam, Hokkien, a lil Tew-chew, Cantonese, and Mandrin. THAT also, haven’t include English and Malay yet. That’s too much language for a human-being to absorb.
There’s chopped long-beans, vegetables, ground-nuts, crushed heh-bee (dried small prawns) spread generously on top of a bowl of rice.
This dish needs some getting-used-to. It tasted like SHIT at first, because some idiot asked me to pour in the soup to my rice mix. No. I like it dry. Though its a simple healthy combination, you’ll find yourself craving for it when you’re hungry. PLUS … dieters like me shouldn’t feel guilty eating stuff like this. *GRINS*
Otak
Otak: A type of fish cake. Unlike those Otak-otak found in Northern Malaysia, this Otak is BBQed instead. I heard its actually more famous in Muar, Johor. But, don’t worry, it can be found in most mamak stalls (cafe shops opened by muslim indians) in Johor Bahru. One basket usually contain 10 pieces of Otak, and is priced RM0.60 per Otak. It is slightly spicy, with texture that SEEMED like it contain coconut. OK, i’m just lazy to google this one out.
I know I know, the sound of COCONUT scared half the world population, but, honestly, I’m not much of a coconut fan myself. But this one tasted soooooooo damn nice, you will get addicted to it like how mamak food trigger your addiction.
Aite … lets see what KL brings, ya?
