This is where people of JB will direct you to, if you’re looking for a good place for tea-time, or breakfast. As long as you don’t hate bananas, […]

]]> Lontong @ Pantai Laut, Batu Pahat http://eatophilia.com/lontong-pantai-laut-batu-pahat/ Fri, 01 Dec 2017 16:39:59 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/?p=7340 Sometime ago, I blogged about Kedai Makan dan Minum Pantai Laut, as one of the best asam pedas available in Batu Pahat. Now, I feel obliged to introduce its other worthy dish – lontong. We are obsessed with lontong, to a great extent. The best lontong in Batu Pahat is still Mak Ani’s, but it’s […]

It was located some kilometers away from the main stretch of Yong Peng town, a place you won’t stumble upon unless you have a purpose to be there. So how did we got to know Restoran Kari Kambing 40 Hari’s […]

]]> Kuantan Trip Part 2 : Food Scene in Kuantan http://eatophilia.com/kuantan-trip-part-2-food-scene-in-kuantan/ Wed, 19 Aug 2015 15:24:29 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/?p=2513 I’ve knew it all along what always draws us to Kuantan. It is its enticing food scene, especially when the sun goes down and the road leading from Balok to Cherating lightens up with neon from the restaurants. The catch is, be prepare to eat spicy as chinese food in this area is certainly not something I […]

]]> Pisang Goreng at Taman Soga, Batu Pahat http://eatophilia.com/pisang-goreng-at-batu-pahat/ Sun, 05 Apr 2015 07:45:00 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/asam-fish-batu-pahat I always cry foul over pisang goreng (banana fritters) served with anything else but sambal kicap, the way they were served in Johor. I am lucky to have a pisang goreng stall nearby my home in Klang Valley served that way, although something is still a little off. During CNY holiday, I have no control […]

]]> Kelab Kopi Batu Pahat, Johor http://eatophilia.com/kelab-kopi-batu-pahat/ Sat, 07 Mar 2015 15:03:00 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/asam-fish-batu-pahat Batu Pahat is a food haven but not such a good place for caffeine addicts. While everyone seemed to rave about Rengit coffee, it did nothing to satisfy my crave for true Arabica bean. Rengit coffee is just too sourish or acidic for our likings. Then, we passed by this place called “Kelab Kopi”. Surprisingly […]

]]> A Tale of Two Sara Thai Kitchen. http://eatophilia.com/a-tale-of-two-sara-thai-kitchen/ Wed, 07 Aug 2013 16:01:00 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/asam-fish-batu-pahat Sara Thai is a restaurant renowned for serving authentic Thai food in Kuantan and I have heard for more than once that it’s the best Thai restaurant in town. A Thai food lover like us couldn’t let go of the chance of testing the theory ‘is it really good’? Just as we thought it will […]

]]> Satay Zul, Kuantan http://eatophilia.com/satay-zul-kuantan/ Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:56:00 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/asam-fish-batu-pahat The moment CS suggested a detour on the pretext of burning off our dinner by going around Kuantan town. Seriously, by riding in a car? I knew what he had on his mind. He had caught wind that Satay Zul is the best satay in town and well, you know the rest of the story. […]

We even had to speed up to avoid a big truck tailing too closely to us. The road was dark but Awang Ikan Bakar still stood out […]

Checked. Clothes? Checked. Or at least, I thought so. “What if they don’t like me?” I told CS. “Why will they be?” he answered. I rolled my eyes. “Haven’t you noticed, your wife is socially-challenged? I look arrogant when I don’t smile and when I smiled I looked sly. And the ability to start […]
