It’s Saturday morning, the sun is out in Johor, and I’m currently on a mission to hit all my favorite local spots. There’s something about a late breakfast in a kopitiam that just hits differently. Here’s a quick recap of what’s been on my plate lately.
Today’s brunch is the ultimate comfort combo: a solid bowl of Wan Tan Mee topped with a mix of Siew Yoke and Char Siew.
The Vibe: The dark sauce on the noodles is rich and savory, and that single piece of bok choy is doing its best to represent the "healthy" side of things.
The Highlight: The Siew Yoke skin is perfectly crunchy. It’s definitely a "cheat day" meal, but after a long week, it’s exactly what I needed.
A few meals ago, I went for a Beef Donburi. This one was a bit more refined—topped with a soft-boiled egg and a mountain of bonito flakes that were still "dancing" when the bowl arrived. It’s a great high-protein option when you want something filling but slightly "cleaner" than fried noodles.
I also have to mention that Spicy Potato Stir-fry I had with white rice. It’s such a simple, homey dish. Even though it’s basically carbs on carbs (potatoes + rice), the chili kick and the sesame seeds make it so addictive. It’s the kind of food that just feels like a warm hug.
At 38, I’ve realized I can’t quite eat like I’m 21 anymore without feeling it later. To keep the "food coma" at bay today, I’m sticking to water and skipping the sweet Kopi Peng. I want to actually enjoy my Saturday afternoon rather than napping through it!
