One of the things I really like going into JB for when I go in for gas, is their hawker (food center)'s food which is a fraction of the prices we pay here in Singapore and almost always equally good.
We were looking for pekin restaurant near stulang laut and permas jaya but in the end, I lost my way even with the GPS and we ended up at Permas Jaya. We thought of eating at Nijyumaru but it was impossible to get parking near and around the restaurant. In our bid to find a space to park, we ended up driving right to the end of the road where the open-air food center was. Hungry (it was about 8+), we ended up eating there instead and ended up ordering too much.
The Slog Reviews: 8/10 for the bak kut teh soup which is really popular (almost all the tables had a bowl). The portion for 2 below, with 2 bowls of rice cost RM 15 (rice at RM1) and the soup which had mushrooms, tau kee and tender meat was tasty though just a bit too salty. The dish at the far end is the Mongolian pork ribs which my fishing shifu introduced me to and comes from the same stall as the sambal kangkong (the store nearest the fishing tackle shop sells such tze char items). The pork ribs sauce was very much like satay sauce but the meat was thick and juicy. As for the kangkong, it wasn't too spicy but then I hadn't asked for it to be extra spicy. Both are worth a try. However, the sambal bbq fish was a disappointment. At RM 16, it tasted bland with the sambal sauce a tasteless watery mash - not that the dish was inedible but it was sub-par even for hawker standards. A far cry from the one I had at this other food center in JB (click here). The address of the place is Jalan Permas Jaya 10/5, just next to Fishingline tackle shop.
