Stulang Laut Kuey Tiao Kia 三楼粿条仔 @ Taman Stulang, Johor Baru

In the vicinity of the famous Woon Kiang Kuey Teow Kia, there is another stall at the side selling kuey teow kia as well. The stall is commonly known by the regular patrons as San Lou Kuey Teow Kia. Although it does not operate from a proper shop, the business remains good. 

The stall has a very simple set up. There are two stalls under the same roof, the one right at the entrance is selling laksa, and walk a bit further you can see the kuey teow kia stall. For convenience sake, there are some limited parking space just outside of the stalls. 

During dinner hours, the stall is packed with people. We queued up to order our food.

Some of the dishes are displayed at the stall and the patrons can make their choice by pointing to the "spare parts" that you wish to have. To kill the waiting time, you may also take some of their side dishes (which are ready foods) from the table next to the order counter. The side dishes include meat balls, sausages, spring rolls and other fried stuffs. 

I found their dishes not too salty and the taste being quite consistent during our few visits. The herbal soup (the base of the kuey teow) is darker in colour but not very clingy to the kuey teow, maybe this is the reason why it does not taste overly salty compared to some of the kuey teow kia shops.

Overall, we had a pleasant dinner here although the portion was rather small. Feeling not contented with the main course, we actually took the side dishes again!

Tai Hong Lei Cha 大丰擂茶 @ Taman Pelangi, Johor Baru

Tai Hong Lei Cha 大丰擂茶 @ Taman Pelangi, Johor Baru

I have been passing by this street where Tai Hong Kopitiam in Taman Pelangi is located, but always at night. The big green signboard of "Tai Hong Kopitiam" is very compelling and we can't help to be attracted by the restaurant. 

Lei Cha 擂茶

Tai Hong Kopitiam is famous with its Lei Cha (literally, grounded tea), one of the Hakka traditional dishes. Lei Cha is quite common in the southern Johor, due to the Hakka population here. I must say it is a very healthy dish, with assorted vegetables. and even more appealing with the peppermint and basil leave made soup. Although it is not a general favourite by all and some do not even dare to try the greenery soup, I find this a very delicious Hakka delicacy despite I am a Teochew.

Sarawak Kolok Mee 砂拉越哥罗面

Other than the signature Lei Cha, Tai Hong offers wide range of other dishes too, to fulfill everybody's taste bud. I was surprised to Kolok Mee in the Menu and it has definitely made me feel nostalgic about the Kolok Mee that I had in Sarawak few years back. However, this version of Kolok Mee is slightly different from the one I tried at Kuching, which was of a drier version. Tai Hong's has some gravy and is more alike to our wantan noodles. I personally still prefer the Kuching version.

Stuffed Taufu  酿豆腐

Patrons can have pick-and-choose Yong Tau Foo near the cashier counter too. Just choose whatever you like and inform the waiter whether you want the dry or soup version, the Yong Tau Foo will be served to your table once done. We ordered the soup version and I think it is a wise choice, because the soup is made from soy bean. The nature sweetness from the soup matched very well with the Yong Tau Foo. 

Overall, it is a good place for breakfast or lunch, the foods were served pretty fast, so if you looking for quick meal, this place is highly recommended. With the wide variety of foods, I bet you will definitely find something suit you.
