Yu Yuan Bao Restaurant at Taman Permas Jaya

Been noticed the shop open quite some times ago but....never notice it's a Taiwan Food Restaurant, I thought of some shop selling some other thing because of the creative signage decoration.

The interior design of the restaurant

The interior design is good and different from the local typical restaurant. The Boss took our order personally in a very polite way! I'm impressed! He introduced many dishes they have and he said most of it only sell in this shop, that means you won't taste it else where! Really??

Our order :
1) The Taiwanese Fried rice
2) The Unique BBQ Pork Rice
3) Minced Pork noodle
4) Peppercorn noodle
5) Lion Head (Side dish)

The BBQ Pork Rice

Surprisingly, the BBQ pork is not in Red colour like what we usually eat locally. And the rice serve in half wet. But the taste.....GOOD!

Minced Pork Noodle

The special was the homemade noodle, it's "Q" when you bite on it! I have never taste this kind of noodle before even in Taipei!
Overall - Perfect! You might taste bit salty, but for me....it's just nice!

The Hot Spicy Peppercorn Noodle

It was Hot & Spicy with Peppercorn, again the homemade noodle was the Best!

The Lion Head - very special name

I wonder what is 'Lion Head', it's actually minced pork ball! It serve with some vegetables and...yes! It was delicious!

I forgot to take the fried rice picture, and it's good too! They also serve special homemade drinks, too bad I forgot to snap the pictures of it!
The restaurant serve many type of Beef with noodle and rice, you will have various of choices if you love beef. And most of foods serve here are not in big portion.

The damage : MYR45.00 (for 4 adults and 1 kid) included drinks.

I rated : 4.5/5 (Included the interior design)
It's worth visit it again!

* Noted the shop had closed down (May 2010)

Shilin Street Snacks Shop @ City Square, Johor Bahru

I heard about this place - "Shilin Stall" quite sometimes ago....it's just only try it recently. It's located at the lower ground floor of City Square Shopping Complex, Johor Bahru.

The oyster vermicelli (mee sua) was good! But you can't compare the original I had before....
We also order the "Tien-Pu Rak", but seem like totally different from Taipei??

Anyway, the prices are reasonable in the shopping complex. The only problem I see is the traffic and the parking. It will be crowd during the weekend......

ran Queen ran King Taiwan Foods Cafe, Tmn Molek Johor Bahru

ran King ran Queen Taiwan Cafe located at Jalan Molek 1/8, Taman Molek, J.B. (N1°31.849' E103°47.430')

There are many Taiwanese Cafe & Restaurants at Johor Bahru. This is the one we always visit.
The lady boss came from South Taiwan (Ping-tong, Tainan). The foods taste are the southern taste and it's different from Taipei. Examples like the Oyster Vermicelli (蚵仔麵線) & the stewed pork rice (魯肉飯) taste are different that I had from Taipei, but.....delicious too!

The cafe has simple decorated and comfort. It's crowded during lunch hour and dinner time. You need to queue up to 30 minutes if you are unlucky! :)
The best time to visit is before 12pm noon, 3pm tea break & after 7:30pm evening. The shop is open from noon time to 8:30pm.


There have full of varieties Taiwanese foods & even the 'Small' Steamboat that you only can see it in this cafe (RM15.00 each). Prices here are reasonable.
Another reason I like this cafe is.....they are all family members! Mom & dad handling kitchen, elder son handling the drinks session & youngest son is taking orders from customers. The Spirits of Family !!


You can see many 4WD Adventures photos on the wall....Cos it's the hobby of one of the family member!

They provide free Wifi services too!!
We had a chat with the lady boss and realize that the name of Q & K means - "Relax" in their village.
