7-Must Try | Heritage Eateries

Food, fun, and exploring — that’s what travel is all about! As the saying goes, “Eating is a top priority,” so you definitely don’t want to mess around when it comes to food. If you’re seeing this post, you’re in luck! Our private car drivers have shared 7 of their go-to foodie spots. And let’s be real — if anyone knows where to eat, it’s the drivers who are always on the road!

	food_bank Restorant Lai Kee
	This old-school eatery in Taman Perling has been around for over 30 years. Their specialties are dry noodles, kway teow, and clear soup served with handmade fishballs that are super bouncy. Be sure to try their crispy beancurd skin and fish cakes — they sell out fast!

food_bank Sin Hai Cheng
This place in Skudai has been serving up braised duck for over 40 years. The gravy is rich and flavorful. Other braised items like pork intestines, pork belly, beancurd skin, peanuts, and preserved veggies are all solid choices — you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

	food_bank Tampoi Laksa
	A hidden gem tucked away in a Johor Bahru neighborhood — a spot full of childhood memories for many locals. Their spicy, flavorful laksa with clams is a must-try. Still craving more? You can order a plate of freshly blanched clams on the side. Don’t miss their rojak and cuttlefish with kangkung too — made with their own homemade shrimp paste and sauces!

food_bank San Lou Kway Teow Kia
Every kway teow kia spot in JB has its own charm, and this one under the EDL flyover has been around for over 35 years. The broth has a nice herbal aroma, and the sliced pork, pork belly, and intestines taste even better when dipped in their signature chili sauce—so good!

	food_bank Ungku Mohsin Wan Tan Mee
	A hidden gem with over 60 years of history, this no-signboard stall in Ungku Mohsin Chinese Village is a local favorite. They only serve 4 main noodle dishes—wanton mee, tomato noodles, clear soup noodles, and laksa. Whichever you pick, you're in for a satisfying, nostalgic bite!

food_bank Choy Kee Claypot Chicken Rice
Located at the old Masai bus terminal, this stall only serves two foods: claypot chicken rice (large/small) and blanched greens (large/small). They've stuck to traditional charcoal cooking for over 20 years, giving each bite that extra smoky aroma and flavor.

	food_bank Long Fong Restoran
	A well-known zi char spot in Skudai with over 30 years of history. Every dish is full of wok hei, bringing back memories of family banquets from childhood. Just go with their signature dishes — you won’t go wrong.
