Definitely. We haven’t done it much before since we usually just do lots of research on our own, but so happy we met Linda. She showed us so many great spots and is a wonderful person
Appreciate the fact that you put the location of the places you visit and the timestamps in the description. Not everyone does that. This will allow more viewers to appreciate your vlogs better 😊 I would say you guys and JetLag Warriors have the most organized vlogs. 👍
Oh wow very interesting to see laksa with spaghetti! This one definitely looks different from all the ones I've seen! Very unique with the minced fish too 😋
So many kinds of food in different regions of Malaysia, I like the fact that you guys are covering different regions in Malaysia and not just KL and Penang like many vloggers.
Hey Greg and Jumi!! So great to see you guys and this food stop! We are so not morning people either! The nasi ambung looked really interesting for sure. Love the colors!!
Linda is very kind to have taken you around to introduce to you the special dishes only unique and originally from Johor ... I think you should also try the pisang goreng here because pisang goreng in Johor is unique since it comes with the black soya sauce .. kuah kicap they call it here .. it is only in Johor that pisang goreng is eaten with the kicap sauce .. it is very nice actually and one popular pisang goreng stall is the pisang goreng mawar at jln gertak merah ..about the laksa johor .. another story that we heard .. the late Queen Mother she was a european .. she loved laksa so much so one day she told the palace cook to come up with a special laksa recipe but instead of using the normal white laksa noodle made from rice floor, she told the cook to use speghetti and to modify the fish sauce into a thick curry-like fish sauce which is spiced up using sambal belacan .. so this special laksa recipe is unique only can be found in johor and it does uses speghetti in replacement of the normal white laksa noodle use in the penang laksa .. thumbs up to the both of you especially Greg because you are really knowledgeable about all different kinds of food in malaysia .. take care and stay safe always guys 😊❤👍
Very lucky to have met Linda - grateful for her hospitality and taking us around to so many great local spots. We tried the pisang goreng from Mawar - very tasty! Unique to eat with the kicap sauce too. Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support
@@FoodandFootprints really? So you already tasted the mawar pisang goreng? Thats good then 👍.. I am happy for both of you .. I hope you enjoy your stay in JB .. take care 😊
so glad that you covered th origins of kacang pool at 16:50. you might be interested to know that after th portuguese takeover of Malacca, th ports of jb/singapore, penang, patani (now pattani in thailand), used to be th centres of cosmopolitan southeast asia. so we have stories of patriarchs who came back n settled after many years of study in th middle east (in th past, often azhar n egypt (saudi n th levant are more recent destinations))- n bringing back w them their acquired tastes. hence fuul madammas in jb n not some other arab dish. n why its in jb n not in kl or negeri sembilan. we also had middle eastern traders. these were mostly yemenis frm th hadramawt region. so in all three, ull see arab foods (often egyptian) n descendants (often frm yemeni origins) what abt malacca? yes, it was on par w th other three before the 16th century. so we see a lot of indian n chinese mixtures/influences in food n peoples. but bcs of portuguese anti-islamic proselytising policies, th arab influence never had a chance to grow there as it did in th other port cities. another sister malay peninsula cosmopolitan port city is Phuket. it did not attract that many mideastern trsders or scholars as Penang, S'pore, or Patani, even w no portuguese there. probably bcs th better ships in th latter half of th 2nd millennium cld travel further frm West to east without needing to stop in Phuket. so it was/is a lot like pre portuguese malacca w influences frm china n india.
Now this is fascinating information that we didn’t know about before - thank you for sharing! Makes a lot of sense, especially how foul is popular in Egyptian and Yemeni cuisine
For authentic Johor laksa, we usually used ikan tenggiri (king mackerel) or ikan parang. Not sardines. And the gravy is not too soupy because for some Johorean, the correct way to eat Johor laksa is by using our hand.
Thank you so much, Linda! We are so happy to have met you here and really appreciate your hospitality. You have shown us so many great places and dishes
Those fried eggs! Cool, lots of them in the making with those mold thingy. Maaan that bread is perfect to dip and absorb all the juices! Nice touch that calamansi too! Lovely breakfast.
That noodles with gravy looks amazing. We would love that. Your friend Linda is so sweet. That's awesome that one of those meals was in a soup dish, and the other was plated dish. We bet that lemongrass was such a nice flavor in it!!
We would go nuts trying dishes at that market. You really need to go with friends to share everything. Mashed potato gravy over noodles sounds like a winner.
Jumi is killing these intros, I really like this new format. Melissa is not a morning person either. And I'm a super morning person. It's amazing you have old and new friends to join you in your food adventures. Love Double Carbs. Sometimes I go triple carbs and Melissa makes fun of me.
Enjoying my lunch of chick peas while watching all your delicious looking Malaysian food. The johor Laksa looks really yummy, love a good dry noodle and the textures of that "pasta" noodle looks so interesting. Oooo that Rojak also looks so unique with the sweet potato :) yumminess. Jumi your bread and dipped gloopy kachang pool looks like a messy goodness
The Laksa Johor is delicious! Great flavors. Oh man that bread and kacang pool is soo good! May be our favorite of all - could eat that all the time. Hahahaha awesome!
Wow great job Linda! Greg and Jumi, you have tasted almost all the best Malay comfort food in JB. We have a lot of Indian, Arab and Indonesian influence in our food. It is similar to Singapore Malay dishes too. Lontong kuah is a common Hari Raya (Eid celebration) meal and Lontong kering is also common during Eid for Central and Southern Peninsular Malaysia. But the ingredients are usually served separately with lontong (pressed rice) as the staple carbo. You should try Beryani Gam next!
Linda took us for so many wonderful dishes! Really enjoy the mix of influences on the food and makes it unique. Ohh have heard about the Beryani Gam before
Really love how far Italian cuisine stretched to Malaysia and JB, a place you wouldn't necessarily expect to find it at all. Steve's Italian side would definitely be satisfied ;)
Linda was awesome!! Thank you Linda !! And thank you guys! We watched while we were eating so we didn't hungry but we looked at our food differently hahaha
Yes! We are so lucky to have met Linda. Not only has she shown us great local foods, but taught us more about Johor and she is a wonderful person in general. Haha good idea! Very smart 😂
If you have the chance, stop over in Muar on your way back to KL. The mee bandung there is a bit different with beef slices and gravy made with lots of dried shrimp... simply delicious! Couple that with kopi beng (iced milk coffee)
Hi Greg and Jumi! Wow, im really excited when i get notification that a new video uploaded by your channel. I like the way how you explain precisely about the food you ate, it makes me mouthwatering and feel hungry, hehe. Im really glad you love enjoying Malaysian food and really excited to see you explore more Malaysian food and place. *My english is not really good, im still learning, but i hope you can understand it. Hehe.
It’s so pleasing to hear both of you talking the local language and pronunciation of local terms as it should be pronounced… unlike some other “westerners” UA-camrs. Obviously you did the research well 😋and you guys makan like the makan should be makan-ed
Appreciate that, David! We loved our time in Malaysia and as makan lovers, it was paradise! Grateful we got to spend a year and see so much of peninsular Malaysia.
Mee Rebus Stulang Laut got me so intrigued especially if it's local's favorite, never tried it before but could imagine the taste when you mentioned potato gravy.
Asma rojak looks interesting, it is like an Asian salad. It definitely reminds me of “rujak pengantin” we have in Indonesia. Same concept, very similar, only with different variation of ingredients. Really want to try this asma rojak, looks healthy with a few naughty deep fried ingredients 😆
All right, the kacang has us sold, always with the egg that gets over the top... it really does seem thick like a chili. Really interesting looking dish that we now can't wait to try ourselves one day.
Whoa there's a lot ingredients in that kacang pool, remind me of the roti canai/ Naan bread with their dippings. So many delicious foods in this video guys!! love it :)
Nasi ambeng really looks like nasi campur / nasi rames we have in Java, Indonesia. I eat a lot of nasi campur growing up for breakfast! It’s a breakfast of champion! 🏆 Great breakfast spot guys!
The most comprehensive food intro vlog ever made by foreign travellers in Malaysia during this covid-19 pandemic. Greg and Jumi, you guys did a fantastic job indeed! All of Johor's signature dishes in one video. Mouth-watering. Can't ask for more, wow!! 👍👍🤤🤤👏👏
Wow that means a lot to hear - thank you very much! Linda took us to some wonderful spots and made sure we got to taste lots of Johor signature dishes.
Awwwwh I miss an awesome bowl of Lontong! First time hearing about lontong kering, looks incredible!! I need to try that, I mean, look at the sides!! And that chicken!
Oh yeah I'm (Andjas) from Java and totally got what you meant, that's a typical Nasi Campur in Java, they put noodle too. Really want to try the "Indo Java" restaurant :)
@@FoodandFootprints most welcome sir thank you what really real food at our nation you test it's, thanks you video press release actions values culture our generation looking forward.
Never heard of kacang pool before. It’s so unique, reminds me of chilli con carne, haha Nice addition of egg and limau 👌🏻 Looks super hearty and delicious 🤤
Very unique JB dish. Haha chili con carne was exactly what it reminded me of! You guys have to try it if you come - we’ve been twice already and good chance we go a 3rd time
There r many types of these compact rice n sticky rice like nasi impit, ketupat, lemang, ketupat palas. It's lovely eaten with peanut sauce, chicken or beef rendang, satay, serunding etc.
We're not morning people either. Hahaha But everything is possible for the right food. Those spaghettis are very interesting. We love to try interpretations of classic comforting dishes like this.
Hi Greg & Jumi. I have never left any comments in your blog before even though I have always followed it. For this blog I cannot resist leaving a comment because Johor is my home state and the food you potrayed are all my favourites, especially Laksa Johor. Laksa Johor is best enjoyed eating with your hands. Both of you showed how much you enjoyed the food and despite the pandemic situation you are still enjoing being in our country. One recommneded food for you to try is the Murtabak and Murtabak Cheese at Kampung Kurnia, JB. Please enjoy your stay in Johor
Thank you for watching and supporting! Great to learn you are from Johor. We’ll have to try eating Laksa Johor with our hands sometime. We definitely are enjoying ourselves here in Malaysia. We just had some murtabak today actually.
I need to start eating with my hands over banana leaves. Watching you guys do it makes me want to do it. Looks so authentic. Having a local friend always help. Meeting all these UA-cam Creators, can't wait to start traveling and having a local friend.
You should! Try eating with rice your hands more at home to practice. Linda is awesome! She is really nice and knows her food. Been nice to meet up with fellow creators here too
That dish with the egg with toast!! Dipped in that bowl of deliciousness. It looks amazing!! Great video and thanks for taking us with you!! Much love and safe travels!
Thank you for this informative video. May I compliment you on your pronunciation of the local foods, the detailed description of what you ate as well as the cross references to other videos via the "cards". Well done! 👍
First time hearing about Asma Rojak too, looks like a healthy plate with all the greens. Can I just pour that entire sauce into the rojak? :D Ahhhh Mee Rebus, quite hard to find a good one here in KL.
I like it that you do your research on the food dishes. I'm Johorean ,living in KL now ...i cannot find any good Johor Laksa or lontong kering here. miss those two fav dishes. Enjoy your travels in the state of Johor.
Another awesome food vlog. You're in the good hand of my old friend Linda who is an expert in JB. She was my tourism coursemate in university back in early 90's
Haha Jumi looks so excited for that breakfast!!! Eyes wide open! 😍😍
She was!! Huge fan of savory breakfasts, especially including rice
the idea of having a local person showing you the best dish at the beat spot is a really great idea
Definitely. We haven’t done it much before since we usually just do lots of research on our own, but so happy we met Linda. She showed us so many great spots and is a wonderful person
Appreciate the fact that you put the location of the places you visit and the timestamps in the description. Not everyone does that. This will allow more viewers to appreciate your vlogs better 😊 I would say you guys and JetLag Warriors have the most organized vlogs. 👍
Thanks a lot! Got the suggestion to start doing that recently. Glad you find it helpful
Oh wow very interesting to see laksa with spaghetti! This one definitely looks different from all the ones I've seen! Very unique with the minced fish too 😋
It is very unique compared to the other laksa in Malaysia we’ve tried. So tasty!
So many kinds of food in different regions of Malaysia, I like the fact that you guys are covering different regions in Malaysia and not just KL and Penang like many vloggers.
Thanks, Manny! We enjoy learning about the different foods in each state - it has really broadened our perspective on Malaysian food.
Ah nice I was hoping for a good expert description of Kacang pool in your video 👍😄 awesome dish!
Haha thank you! Glad you enjoyed the kacang pool too
Hey Greg and Jumi!! So great to see you guys and this food stop! We are so not morning people either! The nasi ambung looked really interesting for sure. Love the colors!!
Haha glad we are on the same page. It was a tasty and colorful dish
When you're skipping breakfast you watch a Food and Footprints video instead!
😂😂😂 tricky move because you may get hungry after
Thank you guys for Interview my mom n dad's cafe. Thanks so much!!

@@maziahismail1392 Thank you! We are enjoying our time here in JB and loving the food
so glad that you covered th origins of kacang pool at 16:50.
you might be interested to know that after th portuguese takeover of Malacca, th ports of jb/singapore, penang, patani (now pattani in thailand), used to be th centres of cosmopolitan southeast asia.
so we have stories of patriarchs who came back n settled after many years of study in th middle east (in th past, often azhar n egypt (saudi n th levant are more recent destinations))- n bringing back w them their acquired tastes. hence fuul madammas in jb n not some other arab dish. n why its in jb n not in kl or negeri sembilan.
we also had middle eastern traders. these were mostly yemenis frm th hadramawt region.
so in all three, ull see arab foods (often egyptian) n descendants (often frm yemeni origins)
what abt malacca?
yes, it was on par w th other three before the 16th century. so we see a lot of indian n chinese mixtures/influences in food n peoples.
but bcs of portuguese anti-islamic proselytising policies, th arab influence never had a chance to grow there as it did in th other port cities.
another sister malay peninsula cosmopolitan port city is Phuket. it did not attract that many mideastern trsders or scholars as Penang, S'pore, or Patani, even w no portuguese there. probably bcs th better ships in th latter half of th 2nd millennium cld travel further frm West to east without needing to stop in Phuket. so it was/is a lot like pre portuguese malacca w influences frm china n india.

That egg looks so perfect over that bowl. That toast is everything too.
It is! The egg takes it to the next level and then you have that toast too - what a dish

Nice video, beautiful edit with all the info. Loving it.. ❤❤❤
Well done again Lindda.
You played a seriously good host.
Seronok dengar Greg dan Jumi cerita pasal makanan Johor, as if dah 20 tahun duduk sini.
Syabas Linda.. i missed JB foods so much after seeing their video.

Those fried eggs! Cool, lots of them in the making with those mold thingy.
Maaan that bread is perfect to dip and absorb all the juices!
Nice touch that calamansi too!
Lovely breakfast.
Yes! That mold comes in handy to make them perfectly round like that. Absolutely delicious dish

Mmm that mee rebus looks awesome! Comforting, like you said!
Comforting is the best way to describe it 👍🏼
Love getting the local food tour... it really makes things that much more unique.
Definitely made it much more special!
Looks yum !! That sambal hijau and Asma Rojak seem very appealing...
They were!

Yessss! Hope you guys filmed it. Love that you guys are trying more cuisines lately
wahh cant wait to go to johor for this laksa ...safe travel guys
Thank you very much! The laksa here is great
Love the back story one of the dishes, and yall edits are lovely!!
Thank you so much, guys! We like to include interesting back stories
Mee Rebus Stulang Laut got me so intrigued especially if it's local's favorite, never tried it before but could imagine the taste when you mentioned potato gravy.
Very comforting flavor and liked the fried bits in there
greg..u're so malaysian now..eating sambal, serunding, budu, tempoyak, ulam..ur level of adaptation is impressive 👍👍
Thank you! So many flavors and dishes to fall in love with here in Malaysia. Every state and city there’s something new for us to try
Asma rojak looks interesting, it is like an Asian salad.
It definitely reminds me of “rujak pengantin” we have in Indonesia. Same concept, very similar, only with different variation of ingredients.
Really want to try this asma rojak, looks healthy with a few naughty deep fried ingredients 😆
Yup good way to describe it. “A few naughty deep fried ingredients” 😂😂
Haha rice and noodles hell yes!!! Double carbs all day!!! 😍😂
Loaded up on carbs for that breakfast!
All right, the kacang has us sold, always with the egg that gets over the top... it really does seem thick like a chili. Really interesting looking dish that we now can't wait to try ourselves one day.
You guys will love it! Has that Middle Eastern influence and the fried egg on top just makes it perfect
Love the how yall describe the last bowl! Making us salivate in the early morning! haha
We’ve eaten that same dish 3 times already now 😂
No meat.. minced fish.. mmm.. interesting flavor! Laksa looks like my type of food!
Love trying the different types of laksa from around the country
I'm supposed to workout right now but I can't stop watching these dishes. Now I'm planning out what to eat this weekend haha. - SE
Haha. Hope you guys eat some great food this weekend! 🙌
@@FoodandFootprints We're thinking indian or a chinese-Malaysian fusion spot we recently found.
Lontong Kuah and Lontong Kering made us miss home :)
Can’t blame you - they were both so delicious!
Oh the dishes are really nice here..so many items at the first stall..and its packed!! Gotta eat with the hands!! Looks great
First spot is packed for good reason! Definitely see why locals love it
7:42 that dish is pretty man...fried prawns and mushroom..gravy and chilis to die for....yummm
Fried prawns and mushroom went really nicely together with the mee rebus
Malaysian food looks full of spices! Right up my alley!!
It is! Perfect for spice lovers and those who love bold flavors
Watching all this malay food is making us miss being there 😀
Can’t blame you guys at all! Whenever we leave we will feel the same
kacang pool+bread..
ohhhh nooo!!
🥰🥰🥰
Such a delicious combo!
always refer to your vids when trying new
state's signature dishes, really well explained
Thank you very much!
What am I doing with my life, having waffles for breakfast, while you guys have some bomb breakfast 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 there’s plenty of great breakfasts to be had in NYC
That lontong soup looks right up our alley, it looks amazing even from here right now and Gokce would for sure love the coconut flavor.
Really tasty! We enjoyed both, but the kering even more
amazing video,I'm a Malaysian local & I'm definitely gonna check this out. Liked and subbed.
Whoa there's a lot ingredients in that kacang pool, remind me of the roti canai/ Naan bread with their dippings. So many delicious foods in this video guys!! love it :)
Loved trying these local Johor dishes! Kacang pool was so good
Double carbs, perfect food coma ;)
We did take naps after the first two spots 😂
Nasi ambeng really looks like nasi campur / nasi rames we have in Java, Indonesia. I eat a lot of nasi campur growing up for breakfast! It’s a breakfast of champion! 🏆
Great breakfast spot guys!
Love nasi campur! This dish took us right back to Selasas at Indo Java!
The most comprehensive food intro vlog ever made by foreign travellers in Malaysia during this covid-19 pandemic. Greg and Jumi, you guys did a fantastic job indeed! All of Johor's signature dishes in one video. Mouth-watering. Can't ask for more, wow!!
👍👍🤤🤤👏👏
Wow that means a lot to hear - thank you very much! Linda took us to some wonderful spots and made sure we got to taste lots of Johor signature dishes.
Awwwwh I miss an awesome bowl of Lontong! First time hearing about lontong kering, looks incredible!! I need to try that, I mean, look at the sides!! And that chicken!
We loved the lontong kering!! That chicken rendang was great with it too
Oh yeah I'm (Andjas) from Java and totally got what you meant, that's a typical Nasi Campur in Java, they put noodle too. Really want to try the "Indo Java" restaurant :)
One day you have to visit Indo Java!
Thanks you sir appreciate actions values culture guys good memories for all
Thank you very much!
@@FoodandFootprints most welcome sir thank you what really real food at our nation you test it's, thanks you video press release actions values culture our generation looking forward.
Never heard of kacang pool before. It’s so unique, reminds me of chilli con carne, haha
Nice addition of egg and limau 👌🏻
Looks super hearty and delicious 🤤
Very unique JB dish. Haha chili con carne was exactly what it reminded me of! You guys have to try it if you come - we’ve been twice already and good chance we go a 3rd time
Amazing food tour in Johor Bahru guys!!
Linda really showed you amazing local food from JB, well done 👏
Thank you so much, guys! Linda is wonderful - so happy we met her
Really delicious. I'm craving for it now...
It was!
Now, between d Johor laksa, asam laksa n nyonya laksa, which is Greg's n Jumi's fav.
Pressed rice squares look like another way for Lieles to get his noodles hahaha
There r many types of these compact rice n sticky rice like nasi impit, ketupat, lemang, ketupat palas. It's lovely eaten with peanut sauce, chicken or beef rendang, satay, serunding etc.
@@Yasin_Affandi awesome
😂😂😂 yup condensed carbs. Really good
We're not morning people either. Hahaha But everything is possible for the right food. Those spaghettis are very interesting. We love to try interpretations of classic comforting dishes like this.
So worth getting up early for these!
You guys know we don't usually have breakfast but you and Puri and Sue have opened our eyes towards breakfast
We don’t either haha. But when there are special dishes that you can only get in the morning, then we have to get up early and get em!
@@FoodandFootprints agreeeee
all is really homecooking.. daily meal comfort and yumm
Definitely! Love that homecooked taste
And here comes my favorite of all time!
Oh it's your favorite too.
We never tried it but anything with a fried egg is our favorite 😁😁🤤🤤
Tough to pick a favorite, but this one may be it. Could eat this dish very often. Relatively healthy without that thick slab of toast too
We know Malaysian food is known but yall putting a whole extra light on it and we're here for it! Everything always looks so good
The beauty of being able to stay here for a while means we can highlight lots more dishes from all over the country.
You guys will love it here!
Omg that bread really is thiccc hahah! Love dipping bread with any kind of sauce/soup/stew/tbh anything that will hold onto it 😂
Haha sooo thick!
Just tempe goreng with sambal kicap already yummy...
Agree
Tried some at the first spot and enjoyed it. Nice flavor from the coriander seeds
Thank you sis 😍Linda😍 Terima Kasih, so gracious of you to share your kindness and generous support 🎶🎶🎶💃💞
Linda is definitely very kind and supportive! So happy we met her 😁

One recommneded food for you to try is the Murtabak and Murtabak Cheese at Kampung Kurnia, JB. Please enjoy your stay in Johor
Thank you for watching and supporting! Great to learn you are from Johor. We’ll have to try eating Laksa Johor with our hands sometime. We definitely are enjoying ourselves here in Malaysia. We just had some murtabak today actually.
Great to have a local that can guide you through your experience
Absolutely! Linda is awesome - so fortunate to have met her here
Love Greg and Jumi. Thank you for showing us all yummy food. Love this channel, all about food.
Wow thank you very much! We love showing all the delicious food around Malaysia. So glad you enjoy it
I need to start eating with my hands over banana leaves. Watching you guys do it makes me want to do it. Looks so authentic. Having a local friend always help. Meeting all these UA-cam Creators, can't wait to start traveling and having a local friend.
You should! Try eating with rice your hands more at home to practice. Linda is awesome! She is really nice and knows her food. Been nice to meet up with fellow creators here too
Linda is really good guide! Lontong kuah is my favourite breakfast ☺️ Normally we had smaller version than you have so that we can eat more 😂
She is! Haha true - this is bigger than the bowls of lontong sayur we ate in NYC
That laksa even healthy with so many veggies. Haha
Haha the bean sprouts, onions and fresh herbs definitely make it healthier
That dish with the egg with toast!! Dipped in that bowl of deliciousness. It looks amazing!! Great video and thanks for taking us with you!! Much love and safe travels!
That dish is called kacang pool/pop a dish akin to Lebanese (arabian) dish called foul medammas.. Its made from fava beans
Thank you so much! That kacang pool is absolutely delicious
Been waiting for this vid!
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it
Thank you for this informative video. May I compliment you on your pronunciation of the local foods, the detailed description of what you ate as well as the cross references to other videos via the "cards". Well done! 👍
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Always like to refer to other videos when it makes sense to
@@FoodandFootprints . Incidentally you've made me very hungry 😀 and miss Johor Bahru even more!
Lots of familiar funky music moments on this episode! 😉
Haha recognized it right away when watching it for the first time after Jumi edited the video
The bread looks so fluffy inside! Sweet and citrusy, and nutty, I'm salivating!
Such a great dish, guys!
Rojak!! Loveee it 😋 Healthy food with fried stuff 😂
😂😂😂 balance it out
First time hearing about Asma Rojak too, looks like a healthy plate with all the greens. Can I just pour that entire sauce into the rojak? :D Ahhhh Mee Rebus, quite hard to find a good one here in KL.
Haha knowing how much you guys like pasembur, you’d like this one too. Sure you can 😂
Ahh can imagine it’s not easy
I like it that you do your research on the food dishes. I'm Johorean ,living in KL now ...i cannot find any good Johor Laksa or lontong kering here. miss those two fav dishes. Enjoy your travels in the state of Johor.
Thank you! Enjoyed reading about the background of the kacang pool and Laksa Johor. Can imagine living in KL how much you must miss it
You have to try it to like it, couldn't agree more 🙂
Exactly! Gotta try at least once
Another awesome food vlog. You're in the good hand of my old friend Linda who is an expert in JB.
She was my tourism coursemate in university back in early 90's
Thank you very much! Wow you two were course mates? How cool is that? Definitely were in great hands with Linda, she is awesome!
4:28 Now that looks fresh and delicious!!!
It was! 😋
Here we go again - being made hungry by Greg! 😂😂😂 Loving it though. Good job, you two!
Like clockwork, huh? Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy, even if it makes you hungry 😂😂
Always good to have a tour guide.. Linda knows her food! My type of breakfast too Jumi! Soupy meal! 👍
Linda is awesome! She showed us so many great spots - been having fun with her here. Team savory breakfast!
That yellow gravy noodle soup...yum! Love the egg in there..it pops!! The sambal and coconut milk put this bowl of noodle soup all together!
It is a hefty and delicious bowl! Would be perfect in the Winter too
Music is so relaxing btw
Thank you!
