A Walk Around JB Town - Jln Meldrum

Since most places were closed, we went to explore JB town to grab dinner on Chinese New Year's first day and stumbled across Jalan Meldrum and this small street with hidden food stalls. You can see from this street in the last picture (bottom right). This tiny street, actually it's more like a back alley, is filled with Muslim food stalls. You can find satays, bbq seafood, kambing soup (mutton soup) and other halal dishes here.

My family decided to keep walking and so we found another food stall (on the next street to the right of the small lane). We had satays, bbq stingrays, stir fried vegies, fried calamari and steam fish. Though the food was not super great, it was nice to get together with our family and have an easy night out :) & the beer made the food taste nicer!


In case if you're interested in exploring this area, here's the map to Jalan Meldrum:

  1. It certainly looks like an interesting place to visit, which I certainly shall after I move. :) I have a lot of catching up to do I guess. Been a Singaporean all my life, and visiting Johor never ever struck me as being a particularly exciting thing to do...until I decided to move there lol.
