Teh-O-Kosong Ais = RM1.50 Bakso Mihun = RM8.00 Sate (Satay) 6 Sticks = RM7.20 (All Flavours priced at RM1.20 per Stick)
No Service Charges
This is a Malay / Indonesian Kampung-Styled Warung Eatery built out of Wooden Planks with a Very Rustic Look. The name of this place says "Boyan" which I'm guessing is referring to Boyanese Cuisine.
The thing that surprised me the most was when I was there at 2.00pm on a Friday, it was not as Ulu as I thought and was actually Pretty Popular and Very Crowded with Customers.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM1.50 (S$0.50) for this Cup of Teh-O-Kosong Ais is Affordable. Quality is Comparable to a Similar One sold in a Typical SG Kopitiam.
At the Price of RM8.00 (S$2.50) for the Bakso Mihun is also Affordable for what it is, although whether you like this dish or not really depends on whether you like Bakso or not. Like I mentioned, this is a Dish that you will either like or dislike at your 1st Taste simply because Bakso has a More Doughy Texture to it and don't taste like a Regular Meatball that you would expect.
At the Price of RM7.20 (S$2.20) for 6 Sticks of Satay priced at RM1.20 (S$0.40) per Stick, make no mistake, I feel that THIS is the True Signature of this Eatery. I love how they are all grilled on a Traditional Open Charcoal BBQ Grill. Power.
All of the Meats on the Satay were Relatively Large Cuts, not Stingy at all, and I absolutely love how all of them were Meaty and Juicy and Absolutely Not Dry compared to other Satays I've eaten in the Past.
Even better, the Meats didn't taste like they're Highly Processed or Heavily Marinated and I enjoyed their Original 原汁原味 Taste of the Original Meat. The Gravy they use is also Damn Solid Robust and Gao Gao and paired with the Satay Perfectly.
Of course, the Main Unique Appeal of this Place is its Unusual Location that is situated literally right next to a Chinese Cemetery!
It was a Very Unusual Feeling to be munching on some Solid Tasting Juicy Satays while overlooking Someone's Gravestone literally just a Few Steps away from your Dining Table! Never in my life have I ever had such a Unique Dining Experience. Literally Dining with the Deceased. 陪往生者吃饭.
If you are not the Particularly Pantang (Superstitious) type, I can totally recommend this Eatery to experience a Literally "Out of this World" Dining Experience. Nothing Creepy or Scary at all (during Day Time at least), and the Whole Atmosphere just felt like a Regular Eatery. The Muslim Customers I observed here certainly have no issues enjoying themselves with some even bring their Children along.
This is One of the Most Unique Eatery I've ever explored in Johor Bahru so far. Its so Off The Beaten Track that I don't think this place has ever been covered by any Mainstream SG Food Bloggers.

Read moreWarung Boyan, or colloquially known as Bakso Kubur, is an Indonesian restaurant near the Larkin Stadium. Their claim to fame is their Bakso - which is really good. 5 pieces of their housemade beef balls, and strips of soft stewed beef. You can eat it without any additional sauces as it’s good already, but you should try some (blended chilli, chilli sauce, soy sauce etc) for a more authentic experience.
The other interesting menu item is their satay - grilled upon order, and they have beef, chicken and lamb satay available - madura style, where the satay sauce is different than normal Malaysian satay. The satay sauce is thicker, and darker in colour.
They also have Teh Sosro - a popular Indonesian sweetened Jasmine Black Tea - and Extra Joss - a popular Indonesian energy drink. So do order these as well if you are here for a well rounded Indonesian dining experience.
They are only open for takeaway for now, as a number of their staff are in Indonesia, and can only come back once travelling...
Read moreThis stall is run by Indonesians. Hence, it is definitely authentic Indo food. It's surrounded by Chinese Cemetery. IMHO, it's not scary at all. Used Google Maps to navigate our way there. Roads are pretty narrow. Have to park your vehicle beside the temple (i think so), then walk down to the stall.
The place is kinda chill. I was there with my pre-teen & husband, about 11ish. There were about 8-10 tables, there 1 family before people started to streaming in.
We ordered Bakwan (twice!), we love anything fritters. You can dip with sambals (Sambal merah & sambal kicap). We ordered, Bakso Noodles , Bakso noodles special (bigger size), Chix Satay & Beef Satay.
Honestly, they didn't disappoint. Bakso flavour has deep taste of the broth. Meatballs, soft squishy meaty. Both meat Satay are tender & so much flavour, drenched in sweet Salty peanut sauce with heeps of sweet soy sauce on top. Note that beef Satay has some tendon in em', my pre-teen hates it...
