This trip was way back on 14 & 15 July 2018. It was an amazing 1-night stay. We ate like there was no tomorrow and explored new places to our hearts' content.
First target was the famous Yong Peng duck noodles. Located at 3.4 GERAI MAKAN along Jalan Mah Choo. It was among a humble row of food stalls.
Mixed duck meat, eggs and tofu
Wantan noodles
Yong Peng's famous fishballs. Yes, they were lovely. Fresh and springy!
Mui Choi, a Hakka vegetable.
Duck noodles stall
Opposite of duck noodles stall was an equally interesting food stall.
An old-time grocery stall
This is a peanut store named Kacang Permata Krystal located at Jalan Cahaya Baru, Taman BCB, Yong Peng. Yong Peng is famous for its peanut snacks. However I did not like this store as the staff were pushy and they followed us every inch where we walked. Eventually we walked out of the shop!
This shop is situated just behind the above store and they have great peanut products. Store owner was friendly and most importantly, not pushy.
Maxim Snack Shoppe is located at Taman Sembrong Baru, Yong Peng. It is famous for its pau and light snacks for tea time. Great little old-timer shop.
Clayton Ceramics Factory Store is at Bt 57 Jalan Johor, Ayer Hitam. Great factory outlet.
B and S Boutique Hotel, Batu Pahat. Pretty neat hotel. It is located right downtown of Batu Pahat and just right across the market and food stalls.
The Batu Pahat Well at Jalan Minyak Beku, Kampung Minyak Beku. This well was dug by Siamese soldiers, by "chiselling the stones" in search for drinking water in the 15th Century.
The surroundings around the beach
Green-lipped mussels @ Kupang were in abundance at the beach
In the evening at Batu Pahat. We walked everywhere in search for food and finally decided on this Chinese food court. No regrets. The food was DEEEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS!
Claypot chicken rice
Stir fried baby Kailan
Beef brisket
Assam fish
Nobody should miss Chop See Kee's wantan noodles. It is located at Jalan Jenang.
The wantan noodles were AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!
Homemade wantan noodles
Those who came to takeaway need to queue out by this stall, place their orders and wait. Those who are dining in are welcome to sit down inside the shop!
A boss who is passionate and would not let anyone help him prepare the wanton noodles.
The shops just outside Chop See Kee.
GN Food and Biscuits is located at Jalan Abu Bakar. They have a fantastic variety of pastries and biscuits.
Shops in Batu Pahat
Walk across from GN Food & Biscuits is Swee Kee Tonic Soup shop. Famous for its yam rice and herbal soups.
Chicken soup
Curry
Stir fried veg
Herbal froggie soup
Yong Peng means Everlasting Peace in the Teochew dialect. It was founded by Boo Koh Lak Loo, a Chinese Teochew settler from Chaozhou in the Guangdong Province, China.
Batu Pahat means Chiselled Stone. It was formerly known as Bandar Penggaram which means Town of Salt-makers. They were famous for their salted fish.
