Meldrum Walk Street Foods — Restaurant in Johor

I've witnessed its change from pre-covid to current post-covid, much cleaner place now. Many stall owners continue to work hard to survive.

My 1st stop always to my favourite stall Daud Kambing Soup ...soup still as rich, flavourful & generous w/ ingredients, the humble boss as hardworking!😃

I happen to come across surprising new & worthy finds!!... ** Taiwanese street food stall (braised pork rice, crispy XL chicken, potato fries, mushrooms, etc ...even rendang chicken rice!) ...only 6mth old (boss previously sells chicken rice), I tried crispy XL chicken & mushroom, really tasty & great value for money! ** Peach gum (桃胶) dessert @Dim Sum stall, rare find for the beauty conscious 😄(next to Taiwanese street food stall) ...I thought it was Cheng Tng! So glad I didn't miss it!😃 ** Bakery inside corner of coffeeshop 老新山 (new stall aft MCO in a clean, airy coffeeshop), sells assortment of pastries. I tried & WOW...soft, crispy, char siew buns ...crispy, fluffy curry puffs ...eggs tarts w/ rich custard!!

I didn't expect such changes & there seems to be more to explore...

Instead, we managed to pack a delicious pork porridge with an egg, some yummy BBQ chicken wings and delectable fried bee hoon with superb wok hei from three different stalls. We enjoyed the packed meals later in the comfort of our hotel room. The stall owners were friendly and prices were...

This review is based on my experience visiting this place on a Wed night (about 8pm), which is not representative of the weekend scene.

Only a few stalls open. All of which are muslim stalls, missing almost all the stalls that have high reviews in google map (only one present was the kambing soup stall). Place was dark and smelled of sewers. Scattering of customers dining in. Near Pasar Karat which was kinda disappointing as well (on a week day).

Couldn't share my experience on the food as I left without trying any of the stalls. To those planning to visit this stretch of street food, my advice is to plan it...
