Kluang & Batu Bahat

Coz Yuean Huei suggested going Kluang & Batu Bahat to makan. We took leave and went on 2 separate days.


Kluang

Kluang is a small town where all the destinations that we want to go can be walked there.

When we reached there, we went straight to the railway station to take the famous coffee. Actually I don't take coffee so the rest tried it instead :p

I tried the kaya toast there which i think was a bit sweet for me but Sheena loved it. The kaya was cheap too but it was not ready so we couldn't buy it that time.

After that, we tried the wanton mee, Old Town coffee, zhi cha, nonya snacks, etc. Nothing really super fantastic but they tasted good.

We also bought the famous TV brand coffee powder that Mark Lee promoted in a TV show. But my parents didn't really like it. They think that it was too sweet.

Batu Bahat

We took SS bus from Larkin Terminal in JB. The bus fare cost us RM10.70 but when we bought the return trip from Batu Bahat, it only cost us RM8.20. I think the JB station cheated us.

Coz the bus was at 9.30am, we had around 45mins to spare in Larkin. We had our breakfast there though not many shops were open due to pausa period. The rotia prata that i ate was so-so only. But i think the lontong that Darren ate was quite nice.

When we reached Batu Bahat, we tried the famous wanton mee at Chop See Kee. The small portion is RM3.20 and the big one is RM3.50. Very cheap and the wanton was delicious. But i think the the colour of cha siew was not nice, very pinkish and not burnt at all.

After that, recommended by the kind auntie at Chop See Kee, we went to try the famous traditional Kway Chap. Yummy and only cost us RM16 for 4-person share. The texture of the kway tasted thicker than Singapore one. But dunno why, i like the kway more than the small dishes that we ordered.

As the kway chap stall is next to the chicken rice stall (Swee Bee Hainanese Chicken Rice) which one of the Batu Bahat bloggers recommended online. So i went to try that too. Unlike Singapore chicken rice, it has a lot of beansprouts. Tasted almost similar to ours and the soup was nice too.

Oh ya, the kind auntie from Chop See Kee also recommended us a famous local shop that sells local products. I bought the Ipoh white coffee powder that my dad wanted from there. Hei Wang brand and only cost RM12.50. Dunno whether Singapore sells or not.

After that, we had our super cheap haircut and hair wash at RM5 each. The salon is very near the bus terminal. They took an hour just to wash and blow my hair. So worth it.

Actually for this trip, I also wanted to try the famous duck noodle near the terminal but most of the eateries there doesn't open after meal hours. Strange right? So i didn't manage to try it. But we accidentally passed by a soup shop that was recommended by Ah Xian (Ah Xian Ren Qing Wei show). The boss told us that his shop was the only shop in Batu Bahat that was being recommended. But i dunno whether it is true coz i never watch that show before. I tried the black chicken herbal soup with yam rice that cost RM6. Cheap too. But i think the soup can be a bit hotter.

Lastly, before we went back, we had the claypot chicken rice outside Xin Xin. The claypot was cooked pot by pot. Very traditional way and only cost RM3.80 per pot!
