Char Kway Teow @ Restoran Leong Seng Huat, Perling.

When we are on holidays, our eating schedules will always be upside down.

Waking up late in the morning-breakfast and lunch became brunch (one meal).


Food at unfamiliar places can either be good or a total disaster.

Our gracious host Selena has a nose for good food and the Char Kway Teow that we had at Restoran Leong Seng Huat in Perling , Johor was tasty with lots of "wok hei."

It is a typical neighborhood coffee shop with a mixed rice stall at the front, two others noodle stalls and this busy (almost non-stop frying) Char Kway Teow stall which is run by the owner.

CKT without chillies-long, smooth and much slimmer flat rice noodle fried with beansprout, Chinese chive, egg, shrimp-not too oily and it was tasty-Rm4/.

CKT with red chillies paste and fresh bloody cockles-Rm4/

My family and I went to Johor Baru for a holiday and we stayed at our cousin Samantha's parent house.

I remembered the last visit, we went to a huge Orchid farm in Pulai, swam in a waterfall in Kota Tinggi, ate various types of food along the way and enjoyed the sea breeze on the beach in Desaru, all in one day !

It has been a long time and now Johor Baru have changed, with traffic jams and new developments all over the city skyline.

I missed the nasi lemak at a shop with no name located near the Perling mall.

But never mind, my uncle Kam treated us to a delicious seafood dinner at Restoran Asli Makanan Laut Mutiara Biru near Skudai.

Deep fried Squid's rings-lightly batter, fresh and chewy.

Butter Crab-fresh and meaty with a smooth texture.

Steamed Prawns-real fresh and juicy-was alive in the aquarium awhile ago!

Stir fried Choy Tam-only green of the night.

Asli boy was happy after collecting Rm2 parking fee from us.
