So here I am in Johor, where the rivalry between them & Singapore are very high but yet we have so much respect for one other.
They are the closest neighbour we have, where Singaporeans exploit and took advantage of the cheaper fuel prices, groceries, short getaways, golfing & many more.

In return, they throng into Singapore by the tens of thousands every day, to work there and earn 3 times more currency than what it is here.
But hey, what are neighbours for right?

So in this part of Johor called Gelang Patah, situated just 20 mins away for the Malaysian border via 2nd Link, there lies an awesome gastronomical eatery - Boat Noodle.

From the facade of the building, it's just a normal typical Malaysian eatery , but it will change all that perception once you have entered it.

The decor is minimally modern, but yet inviting, bright & hip.
One thing with regards to hipsters eateries are, they are actually more artistically than gastronomical and I wasn't expecting much from this place either.

Well as the menu states, " TRUST US, WE SERVE THE BEST NASI KRABU", so I decided to go for the Beef Nasi Krabu, and I ordered the THAI ICED GREEN TEA to go along.

Took them less than 5 minutes to have have our food served.
Again, being a hipster place, the food does looks good.

But Lo & Behold! The taste just exploded in my mouth the moment it gets into contact with all my taste buds! I was like literally, "WOW! Power sehh"
It's possibly one of the better Nasi Krabu I have tried here in Malaysia.
The shredded coconut, salted egg, side salad and the sambal (Chili Paste/ Sauce) all of them adds depth into this simple dish.

A slight downside - I wish the rice served are steaming hot and not just being warm. 


Next...! That THAI ICED GREEN TEA that I ordered.
My Oh my... Well to begin with, I have never been a fan of sweet drinks and the reason I ordered this was that it was supposed to be "Green Tea".
Like the healthier ones that is. Well that's me assuming it was.

And being in Malaysia, I always asked for a less sweetened one.
Well I was wrong. So wrong.
It came in a Milky form like the ones you find in Starbucks and probably better than Starbucks.
Yes you heard it right, coming from me who doesn't have a sweet tooth. It is smooth... Like creamy smooth. Not too sweet and the flavour is just perfect. You should try this drink. Really, you'll regret if you don't.

Seriously people. Do dine in here if you could, trust me on this one.
The prices are affordable as well.
