Kota Tinggi Waterfall & Kulai

The 2nd day of Johor Bahru food-hunting trip

After having the heavenly breakfast @ Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh, we went to the Kota Tinggi waterfall.
The weather had turned bad as it started to rain cats and dogs when we arrived there. We waited at the abandoned restaurant to wait for the rains to stop. I was seriously doubted did I come to the right place as the one and only one restaurant of this tourist area is closed. How could tourists have some food to eat or drink when they are tired?! From the surrounding, I personally think that this tourist area is lacked of maintenance.

When the droplet of the rains become smaller, we started our journey to go to the waterfall. Otherwise we would have wasted the entrance fees without seeing the waterfall.

The waterfall was still afar from here. The floor was slippery and we had to be slower in taking each step.

As the photo shown, most people stopped at this area and had fun in the waterfall. Some even had their meals right after playing with water.

The cascading water, the beauties and water splashes made the photo perfect :)

The only one of us who really drenched himself in the waterfall

The view of sunlight from waterfall was great! It was like seeing light submerged from dark! Haha

Instead of footprints, we could only left our slippers here... well, just to capture a photo of them at this waterfall!

He ain't had enough fun!

Lastly, I had my photo captured with this nice Kota Tinggi waterfall as well.

Kota Tinggi - Bak Kut Teh @ Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh

The 2nd day of Johor Bahru food-hunting trip

The 2nd day of Johor Bahru food-hunting trip was continued with the journey heading to Kota Tinggi. During the early morning, we had headed to Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh; which located at the main road from Kota Tinggi town to Mersing to have our breakfast. We arrived there at 8.30am and the restaurant was already crowded with customers which patronize with locals and Singaporeans! Peir Gen's business friends had already arrived and had booked two tables for us. According to them, Kiang Kee Bak Kut Teh still uses charcoal stoves.

The waft of herbal aroma could be smelled once the bak kut teh was served. The steaming hot bubbles popped out furiously on the herbal soup’s surface. We had eaten the bak kut teh before managing to capture it.The dark gravy of the braised pork trotter was with strong , flavorful herbal. The pork meats were very tender, soft and not too fat.

Nah. being a non-pork' spare parts lover hence I just tried bak kut teh and braised pork trotter mostly. Oh yea, the 'you tiao' was the most necessary appetizer accompanying bak kut teh. By the way, the ' you tiao' was not as crispy as I expected. According to the others,the pepper pork nerve was very tasty as the pork intestines, nerves were chewy and soft.

Overall, the breakfast was very satisfying! If want to point out the difference of bak kut teh of klang and Kota Tinggi, I would say that it will be the soup.
