I crave for Indian Banana Leaf Rice almost everyday! But alas I have to watch my waist and my heart. Ask for "all the works" curry, where they flood your rice with the entire selection of curry. Also ask for more "papadum" (fried dough), and finish it off with a nice "teh tarik" (pulled milk tea)!

After getting an introduction to Malay food at Sedap Corner, lookout for this makeshift restaurant located underneath the trees of the Abdul Samad village enclave. Sup Tulang, or Marrow Soup, is an exquisite cuisine in Johor. Since you're here too, order a nice plate of Mee Rebus (boiled noodles in peanut based soup), and finish off with a nice glass of air bandung (rose milk drink), or teh-o-ais limau (ice lemon tea)

This is what Malaysian breakfast is all about! Nasi Lemak, coconut rice with nuts, anchovies, cucumber and sambal chilli are something to look forward to! The hut is below a tree, and just next to the Petronas Gas Station.
