Lenggong is a town in Hulu Perak. The town is located beside Tasik Raban, a freshwater lake. As a result of its proximity to fresh water, Lenggong is popular for its freshwater fish dishes and saito fish balls, Sin Hup Yik Seafood Restaurant is a local favorite for such dishes.


The main dish is steamed waterfish with shredded or sliced ginger topped with a special secret sauce. Ikan Jelawat or Sultan fish is his blue plate signature.


Another must eat dish there, Saito fishball that provides a nice bouncy texture, yummy!! Each saito fish ball cost RM0.60

Kin Wah Restaurant @ Senai, Johor Bahru

It's a typical old Hainanese coffee shop along Jalan Trus called Kin Wah Restaurant which is well-known for its coffee, toast with homemade kaya and half-boiled eggs. Crowded in the morning and parking is always a problem.


A cup of local coffee and two pieces of toast spread with butter and kaya are perfect match for breakfast or afternoon tea.


The toast is another must-have as Tian's kaya is home-made.

It is hard to miss this kopitiam almost at the end of Jalan Trus in the old section of Johor Bahru city centre. The small shop is so popular that its owner has to put extra tables and chairs on the five-foot walkway.
