You want to visit JB, but the thought of the same old makan places are just killing you.

As a local to the state, I’m here to bring you the best-hidden spots in JB. Prepare yourself for a gastronomical feast, and maybe even a food-cation!

Bai Her Nyonya Fish Curry

This fish curry is lovingly made and has an ingredient that’s unusual and shines throughout the dish – lots of cabbage! It’s not a spicy dish either, but more on with notes of sweet from pineapple chunks.

Address: 6 Jalan Molek 2/1, Taman Molek 81100 JB Timings: Daily 11am – 3pm, 5.30pm – 10.30pm. Closed every Thursday

Ho Seng Kee Wantan Mee

You’re getting first-grade egg noodles here, which are actually the hidden warrior of the dish. Meaty char siew and succulent wantan bring it to a level of perfection.

Address: Lot J6-07, JB City Square, 80000 JB Timings: 10am – 9pm

Nasi Padang Qin Garden

This is your typical shop for a Malaysian lunch. It’s the real deal. Load your plate with various Padang food varieties. The Indonesian shop’s been around for 25 years now.

Address: 12 Jalan Trus 80000 JB Timings: 7am – 5pm daily, closed on every other Friday

Ah Hua Kueh Teow

The restaurant’s name might not say much, but their kway teow chng’s recipe has been passed down two generations. A bowl starts at RM6.

Address: 21 Jalan Serigala, Taman Abad, 80250 JB Timing: Daily 7.30am – 4.30pm

Lok Lok from KK Lut Lut

Late night supper doesn’t get any better. Take what you want, and cook and eat at their food truck. There’s an extended buffet which you could pick and have grilled or deep fried.

Address: Jalan Pingai, Taman Pelangi, 80400 JB Timings: 10pm – 4.30am but closed on the 3^rd week of the month

Kway Teow Kia Meng Fang

The Cedar Point Food Court is where this humble stall hails from. The soup is generously ladled over your noodles, and it has a herbaceous undertone with a slight sweet hint. For once, the noodles and side dishes don’t taste like they’ve been drowned in soy sauce and salt!

Address: Jalan Musang Bulan, Taman Abad, 80250 JB Timings: 6.30am – 2pm. Closed on Thursdays.

Bak Kut Teh Shoon Fa

The herbal soup here is not our pepper version, but herbal based. The meat falls off the bone, so you can eat the ribs easily.

You’ll find the multicultural society of Malaysia flocked here and for good reason. The asam sauce is balanced nicely in all its sweet, salty and sour goodness.
