Planning a road trip down the North-South Highway? Yong Peng, Johor is calling your name, and not just for a quick gas station stop, oi! This hidden gem packs a serious punch when it comes to makan-makan (eating). We’re talking about piping hot plates of char kuey teow (fried flat noodles) that’ll have you saying “Wah lau eh!” (wow!), fresh air-fried cempedak (breadfruit) that’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and teh tarik (pulled milk tea) so smooth it’ll hit the spot after a long drive.
Yong Peng’s charm lies in its kopitiams (coffee shops) and family-run stalls. Here, friendly smiles and generous portions come standard, and the flavors are as authentic Johor as you can get. So stretch your legs, loosen your shirt, and get ready to experience Yong Peng’s culinary delights – you won’t be disappointed!
