I live in Woodlands and virtue of the fact that it’s faster for me to get to JB than to Orchard Road, I actually go to JB quite a fair bit. There’s lots of cheap shopping there, great and cheap food and a lot of nostalgic traces everywhere. It’s amazing, but even though the 2 countries are only separated by a Causeway, JB is like 20 years behind Singapore. Very old feel.
And so, on one of my usual trips to JB recently, we just randomly chose a shop to have lunch, and no joke, just any shop serves up fabulous food. That’s JB for you.
This happened to be a Bak Kut Teh shop.
The people at the shop was very nice and immediately offered a snack to Baby Jayne when they saw her. It was a snack she’s never tried before, but something we all grew up eating at some point or another. It was a snack from my time. =)
I don’t know what this is called in English, but basically, it’s some kind of sourish sweet snack that many kids love to eat. It’s very appetising actually!
She likes it!
Gosh, this snack transcends generations!
I love her pout. :)
And oh, the food was good!!!! =D The bak kut teh is served in a claypot, and it’s got ingredients such as pork ribs, beancurd skin (very yummy!), straw mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms… Very nice!!!
And this! I had to order this because ginger chicken is one of my most fav dishes!
And this pot had a generous serving of ginger shreds! Very shiok!
Clap clap clap for the awesome lunch! =D
