Tues Night Street Market

This evening we ate our way through the local Tuesday night street market.
Here's the run down on what 5RM or so will get you..

Fresh meat (notice the Halal approved certification).

By the way, we passed on the fresh meat.

We first tried this type of crispy crepe with chopped peanuts and another with coconut.

Next was a cold glass of sweetened lime juice (notice the plastic cups with premeasured syrup)

Next on my menu was chicken on a stick, actually bamboo

Followed by some stir fried noodles.

And finished off with some Rambutan fruit. Similar to eating a Lychee

"Hawker" Lunch

We had lunch again today at the "hawkers" centre located in the 777 building. A heaping plate of food cost me 6.5RM, just a little over $2.00USD. I'm not sure what I really had, but it tasted good.

Kota Iskandar & Puteri Harbour

Today we took a short drive to Kota Iskandar & Puteri Harbour. This massive development will compete directly with Singapore. It will be interesting to see how this area changes over the next 10 years. The Johor State & Federal Government offices are moving to this location from the current downtown area.

Today we had lunch at a local "Hawker" food court. There are various foods prepared by street vendors.

6RM will get you a bowl of noodles with pork in a spicy broth, pork wonton soup & a can of Coke.

Can't beat it for $2USD!
