Restoran Rong Shu Xia 榕树下果条仔

Address: 24,Jalan Maju,Taman Maju Jaya,80400 Johor Bahru
Hours: 07:00 - 13:00 (closed on Wednesdays)

Visited on 4 Mar 2016 and many times after that.

Lervonne first brought us to this 果条仔 (pronounced as kway teow kia in hokkien) and hubby and I totally fell in love with it. For lovers of pig innards, pork lard and fried shallots, you will totally heart his place. From intestines to tongue to lungs, I think they sell all parts of the pig, from the head to the toes here. They put loads of fried shallots onto the food... and it is totally HEAVENLY! This is our MUST-HAVE breakfast whenever we go into JB (nearly weekly affair).

如果进新山不吃果条仔,会浑身不自在。哈哈。



They always say that us Chinese foodies have something against a pig, if they give us a pig, and when we are done feasting on it, you get nothing left.

For local SG foodies who actually dare to eat kway chup and all the weirdo stuff, this is a must go to! I used to remember going down to the hawker center and dapao kway chup for my breakfast every morning, the auntie felt i was special because i always ask for the special liaos that old uncles order like pig's blood and pig's lungs. These are stuff you can't get in SG anymore.

If you want to taste the old fascinating flavors of yesterday, this tiny joint is one of the best for you to go to! Food that is served is amazingly cleaner than even some of the places in SG (You know its not clean when you taste something weird honestly, its not that its cooked wrongly, its that its cleaned wrongly!) If we go into JB in the morning, this is a must go for us! Try if you dare to challenge the pig, don't go if you can't stand lard, intestines and other weirdo stuff!
