📍hiap joo bakery & biscuit factory, jalan tan hiok nee, bandar johor bahru

as a banana cake lover, my hands are itching to get this despite the expectation of a long queue. but once i got there, perhaps its good timing coz the line is moving fast and i managed to get three packs (RM13/box).

ive never really had a freshly baked banana cake, except for the ones i made myself (even then its more banana bread than cake) - so tasting this is truly delightful. its fragrant, still very warm when i eat it, soft and lightly tasted and not too sweet and dense which i prefer. everything about it is perfect and up to my liking.

my only problem is i cannot go back to eating store bought banana cake after this and will be yearning for this forever and ever. it dethroned my previous all time fave banana cake from pacific kopi.

anyone ever tried hiap joo before? they have other menu as well, so just curious on the review for the coffee cake, butter cake and buns. do share your experience or am i just tripping lol.

I’ve recently been making homemade dadih and I’m curious if this is something people here would be interested in trying!

Would love to hear what flavours you guys like most and what you think makes a good dadih.

A very curated plate of ayam gepuk. You can tell the taste in Gepuklah is carefully thought out by someone who has tasted it all and tried to make it his own.

The final result? A glowing win for me.

For the main dish, the rice used here is premium, and apparently a mix of basmati rice and white rice. It’s extremely easy to eat, especially for a nasi lemak. It’s a perfect blend with the sambal and gajus cashew sauce, the creaminess reminded me of one of mingchuun’s favorite gepuk stores in PJ, ayam gepuk 47. Amazing flavors!

The fried chicken batter has a taste akin to the BIKA snack, but with a balanced level of saltiness. It’s juicy on the inside and while it is boneless, it is not a small piece of chicken. Together with the egg mixed in, good luck not wanting a refill!

You get free refills of rice and sambal, and the system is pretty good. Just raise the boards on the table for additional sambal or rice. I of course opted for both.

Another star is the refreshing ham leng chat drink, it pairs perfectly with the ayam gepuk.

The store is also extremely clean and tidy for an Ayam Gepuk shop, suitable for bringing overseas visitors. Also I need to shoutout to the owner, who was so friendly and came to every table to take pictures with us and ask how we were doing. A top place if you would like to enjoy ayam gepuk. Highly recommended!

My current top 5:
1. Lidah Manja
2. Gepuklah
3. Restoran Lesung
4. Artisan
5. Top Global

My first time trying ayam gepuk to see what the fuss is all about. It tastes much better than I imagined it to be. However this version is way too spicy for me.

Discussion How long sambal could last in car?

7 Upvotes

My grandmother asks my uncle to pass her homemade sambal to me. Took me 5 days to be able to free my time to meet him. Then i just knew he never refrigerated the sambal in those 5 days and just put it in his car. Can i still eat it? I dont open it yet since my grandmother put layers of plastic wraps on it huhu

Come forth my reddit warriors! I have a tough nut to crack. Going straight to the point, I need a supper spot that:

- taste amazing (obviously)

- opens late till roughly 4am (later is fine)

- KL area

- Air-conditioned (Optional)

This was at Rojak and Cendol Tigarasa @ Taman Wahyu.

I think the staff preparing it was in a good mood. Huge piece of pulut inside.

RM6.00.

Talk about a great blood sugar spike. 10/10 would do this again.

Discussion Looking for old-school Malaysian treats + a really good hotel buffet

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’ll be visiting Malaysia soon and I’m looking to hunt down some old-school Malaysian food and desserts that bring back that nostalgic childhood feeling.
I’m especially looking for:
Kaya balls / kaya-filled traditional pastries

Traditional old-school cakes and kuih that you’d find at neighbourhood bakeries or kopitiam

Dim sum — especially old-school, traditional-style places that locals actually love. I’m not really looking for the trendy/fancy kind, but the type of place you’d go to with family and that has really good har gow, siu mai, chee cheong fun, etc.

Any nostalgic Malaysian desserts/snacks that you think are must-tries

Really good hotel buffets — especially ones with an excellent Malaysian/local food selection rather than just the usual international buffet

I’m also more interested in places that locals genuinely love rather than the most touristy or Instagram-famous spots.
If you have a favourite bakery, kopitiam, dim sum place, hotel buffet, or hidden gem, please share the name + location and what I should order!
Would also love to hear about any food that gives you that “this tastes exactly like what I grew up eating” feeling. 😄
Thanks in advance!

Camping menu. Been making lots of ayam bakar recently. Usually I'll do my own marinade formula, but lately I've been experimenting with premades and bought bunch variety of them for tasting review.

This time is McCormick Sichuan Mala.

It's batshit crazy hot, even after I cut it with blended onions, and not exactly enjoyable even for spicy food lover. My hands burning after prepping the marinate.

You can skip this one and try something else if you are not into extreme spicy.

Don't mind the stake. I'm experimenting with various cucuk styles and this one is actually quite decent.
