famous beef noodles (goo bak hoon) in johor bahru

after topping up petrol at the last petrol station along woodlands road before the causeway, we drove into johor bahru to look for the goo bak hoon stall. discovered an easier way to get to the coffee shop at jln lumba kuda. no need to go all the way to pelangi. just travel along tebrau and make a u-turn to hit the new road, parts of which are still under construction.

had one bowl of dry hoon with mixed meat each and 'tarpau' four packets. total cost: rm$36. confirmed with the seller that the stall was closed on mondays. found out that he closes the stall at 2.00 p.m. on the other days.

we have been eating goo bak hoon from the same stall in jb for more than thirty years. have introduced it to a number of our friends but not everyone has taken to the taste. there are those who do not fancy beef. those days, each bowl cost rm$3; today, the price is double that.

drove to city square and parked in the basement carpark. it looks quite safe as they have cameras at the barriers. i always try and park the vehicle near to a place where there is more human traffic and i don't leave the ticket in the car.

ivy bought two pairs of shoes from padini. i bought two smooth skin double-yolk moon cakes from seasons and we also got two slices of chocolate banana cake from secret recipe.
