Penang Laksa from Johor Bahru

My friend and I was at a food fair held in KSL City mall in Johor Bahru. She saw a food kiosk selling Penang Laksa. She went to the food kiosk to order one bowl while I was seated nearby. When she came back and placed the food on the table, I saw that the the Penang Laksa was served in a plastic cup and it cost RM5. Quite frankly I was quite disappointed at the way Penang Laksa was served to customers from this food kiosk. The least this food stall could do was to served it in a Styrofoam or paper bowl.

I tasted the Penang Laksa, the gravy was bland and watery and lack the authentic taste of a good Penang Laksa. There was very little other ingredients added to it except the noodles. I felt that this Penang Laksa was a disappointment in quality and taste. Definitely not worth the money. Anyway my friend said that this would be the first and last time that she would be ordering any food from this food stall.

For myself, I ordered a durian ice cream which cost RM10. The durian ice cream was really nice though I felt that RM10 for a plastic cup of durian ice cream was quite expensive. To read about the the durian ice cream and a new 4 in 1 coffee bag which I had bought; just follow the link below: -

Arulmigu Rajamariamman Devasthanam Temple

While I was walking to the new Galleria Mall in Johor Bahru, I passed by the Arulmigu Rajamariamman Devasthanam Temple. The temple was closed at that time. I saw a Indian guy outside the temple and he told me that the temple will be opened at 5 pm.

The Arulmigu Rajamariamman Devasthanam Temple is one of the oldest Hindu temple in Johor Bahru; and had recently undergone renovation. It is a beautiful temple and I hope to drop by again some day in the evening to see temple and take some photos to share it here.

There are also lots of Indian shops nearby selling all kinds of local and Indian products. I bought a herbal henna hair color dye at an Indian shop nearby and it cost only RM5.70 - really cheap. There are also Indian restaurant and food outlets too; for those who enjoy eating spicy Indian food.
