83000 batu pahat, johor

Let’s play spot the difference. Mr Wakai sent me some picture of Jln Penggaram in 1969. Here’s the same picture just a few days before Christmas in 2006.

Mum and I was trying to replicate the same angles. But we forgot how the exact picture looked. Anyway, here it is. Some of the shops are still around!

View the previous Jalan Penggaram post here.

Hope you enjoyed wasting some time on this post today. haha…

If you are like most Batu Pahat resident, you know this thing exist, but you have not gone near it to see it right? When there’s something on, ‘parking so difficult’, ‘so many people’ why bother….

Here’s some pictures for you all that have left Batu Pahat for the longest time and have not returned.

The famous Batu and Pahat structure.

Here’s a view from another angle.

The info about when it was set up. It’s been quite a while eh…

At the other end of Dataran Penggaram, there’s a clock tower.

Also, the tallest flag pole in BP?

During the night, this place is litted up, and lots of people come here to ‘lepak’ with their families.

Have a good weekend.

If you visit Batu Pahat and feel really warm on a sunny day, head down to Jalan Engan. There’s this Cendol stall that serves one of the most delicious cendol around.

You know that for Cendol, the correct amount of Cendol, Gula Melaka, Suntan and Ice makes it perfect. Well, try this one and you will love it. And it’s only RM1 yes, 1 dollar only.

Just look at it. Tempted?

You know how come cendol add this and add that? This is just this! What you see here and it’s so nice and refreshing.

This must be the boss lah. See, only RM1.

This man is helping.

View from outside.

OK. We ordered a few bowls. I ate 2 bowls. :-p

Hehe.. I think I posted pics of this before. But got fresh photos, so post it again. Sorry lah…
The previous post is here.

I like the Mee Rebus and Lontong from this shop. It’s just beside the morning market, at Jalan Ibrahim.

Lontong, sedap tak?

Mee Rebus with the tomato sauce blob on top. I think I like it. Reminds me of another stall though.

The Tea you drink at certain places are just not drinkable. Here’s one that Gooooood…..

The old post did not show this, it’s called Warisan Corner. A Malay stall inside a Kopitiam.

The Kopitiam is called Tong Ah, just beside the market place.
You can see real ketupat in coconut leaves, not those plastic bag ketupat stuff by some other stalls. (ker phui! haha…)

Enjoy.

Mohd Shah’s Baryani is so famous that people from all over Malaysia will stop over to eat.

(Before I go on, I realise that the spelling Baryani, Bariani, Beryani, Beriyani is all different in all the different photos! I guess they can’t determine which is the spelling they want, so they just hamtam everything lah. Each signboard put one different spelling. haha….)

You all should know by now, mum and I have this hobby of going around eating and tasting food. Adik from UK balik, of course we bring her to eat Nasi Baryani lah.

The stall is founded by owner Haji Mohd Esa’s father, Mohd Shah in 1986.

Anyway, the stall is located at Kompleks Niaga Benteng Peserai. It’s right opposite the Putra Specialist Hospital (prev known as Southern Hospital). From town, cross the bridge over the Batu Pahat river.

After driving in, you would see this signboard. How to miss? Even if you don’t know which stall it is, take a seat, then look where everyone goes. It is that stall.

Anyway, at the entrance you will see this sign. (ey, people leh, no queue ah?)

Or people queuing like this. (macam ini baru betul kan?)

The moment you walk into this simple stall, you will see pots and pots of mutton and chicken and of course the Nasi Baryani.

This pot is almost empty.

When the guy saw that I was taking photo, he said, take this pot instead. Wah. another huge pot of kambing.

How much does it cost, you will ask?

This is how it looks when the guy scoops it. The meat below, and the rice over it.

Of course they are also known for their pickle / Acar Buah. It’s tasty I tell you. This is what I ate. Nasi Baryani Kambing with a bottle of Jeruk.

The drinks next door, and the nasi you pay at the counter just inside this shop. So, you can order your drinks next door first, then order the food here, then pay together. Or pay first and then go next door. It’s all the same….
