Supposed hunt for Bitter Gourd (Kou Kway) Soup in Taman Johor Jaya.

Restoran Kah Kah Hoe

Philip and myself decided to hunt for Restoran Kah  Kah Loke which was located at 62 Jalan Bakawali 39 in Taman Johor Jaya. When we reached there the shop was closed. Desperate for Bitter Gourd Soup, we drove around hoping that they had moved to somewhere nearby. After an hour of driving and disappointed, we gave up hope and decided to go to nearby Tebrau City instead.

At this time, we were very hungry. We stopped by Arashi Shabu Shabu Japanese Restuarant. Phillip ordered Saba  Fish Teppanyaki set (RM23.90) while I had Chicken Teppanyaki set. (RM21.90).     For drinks we had Rose Lover Flower Tea (See pix).

 After lunch, we went shopping at AEON Supermart and I bought myself a pair of golf shoe (Head) for RM 129 about S$53.

At tea time, we decided to have coffee at Sweet Recipe. Ended up sharing Chocolate Banana and Tiramisu Cake with Phillip with Long Black Coffee.

Made our way back early as we expected some heavy traffic at CIQ of both end because of the school holidays. Surprisingly, we took only 30 minutes from Tebrau City to Singapore CIQ.

Although a disappointment for not having the long waited Bitter Gourd Soup, we had a good day out. I did some research on the "lost" Restuarant Kah Kah Loke and found that they are now operating at 130 Jalan Sutera Tanjung 8/3 near Sutera Mall off Jalan Skudai. Closed on Mondays. Check out later for our report on Restuarant Kah Kah Loke next week.

The Yaukwees, Dick, Thomas, Richard, Phillip & William left for Skudai at 10am for dim sum lunch at Chaw Yuan. Upon arriving, we found that they close on every Wednesday. What luck!

Dick suggested we go to Sutera Mall nearby. We found this restaurant serving Shabu Shabu and the price was reasonable (see menu above). What's more, it's 1 for 1 on weekdays! Since there were only 5 of us, we ordered 6 sets. Check out the total bill. It amounted to less than S$7 per pax.

After enjoying the healthy & tasty lunch, we went shopping at Carrefour. Had coffee @ Starocks Cafe located within the mall. Coffee ordered comes complete with chicken nuggets or sausage snacks.

We headed back to Singapore just before 3pm and it was smooth sailing at the Causeway. Another foodful & fun day.

It was more than two months since we had an gastronomical outing in JB. 


The Yaukwees, brothers Dick, Phillip, Thomas, Eric & William left for JB at 10am on Wednesday (09th May 2012) via the new highway just after CIQ and headed towards Johor Jaya. Dick was familiar enough to take the recently opened EDL (East Dispersal Link) Highway towards Johor Jaya which reduced traveling time considerably. It was a pity that brother Richard was not able to join us.


We arrived at Kaki Sihat Reflexology along Jalan Molek 1/30 within 20 minutes from CIQ. It's a straight set-up and we settled down for an hour's of soothing foot reflexology. It was relaxing. 
Cost: Rm40++


Next, we headed for Restoran Pekin, a short distance away along Jalan Masai Baru. Very plush establishment with great food. We ordered the above five dishes and all agreed they were good. The total bill came up to slightly less than S$100. 
Where in Singapore can we get such quality food at this price.

After satisfying our tummies, we went to Restoran Ah Heng, a short distance away for some good Malaysian coffee & tarts before heading back to Singapore at 3pm.
