The hawker centre is the most well-known in Batu Pahat... It is located along Jalan Shahbandar, by the side of Sungai Batu Pahat and at its junction with Jalan Abu Bakar... You can find some of the best hawker food in Batu Pahat here... There is also a Foochow restaurant selling Foochow delicacies and steamboat... The hawker centre is opened daily from 7.00pm to 11.00pm...

Favorite Dish: Among the favourite dishes are fried carrot cake, wantan noodles and ikan pari bakar... Do not miss out the otak-otak and cuttlefish with kangkong as well...

The kopitiam has many stalls selling all kinds of hawker fares... One particular stall that caught my eye is that selling porridge...

Favorite Dish: The stall sells porridge which is good to the taste... The plain porridge is cooked till very soft and smooth, eating it with the soya sauce is most satisfying... You can order side dishes to go with the porridge... There is the mixed platter with the layered pork, braised egg and braised tofu... And there is my all-time favourite of braised pork trotter...

The restaurant is a very prominent building on Jalan Rahmat and will not be missed as you drive down the road... Pinted in 2 tones pinkish beige, it is easily attractive... The building used to be a run-down budget hotel... The restaurant occupies the ground floor and dispite being non air-conditioned, the dining hall is not too hot...

Favorite Dish: The speciality, is course, Hainanese chicken rice... The chicken comes with taugeh (bean sprouts) as the base... Other dishes include the fried tofu is also quite delicious... The tofu is served with peanut topping and the sweet and sourish sauce, together with the shredded vegetables makes it quite tasty... For an appetizing starter, you may want to try its famous chicken feet salad... This is served with strips of carrot, onions, chillies and other vegetables...

The shop moved to this new location on recently... The stall started as Ah See Noodle stall in the old town and located at Chop Swee Kee coffeeshop in Jalan Jenang... The shop is now managed by Ah Leong who learnt the trade from his father, Ah See... This time apart from Ah Leong and spouse, his nephew Danny Wang has been groomed to continue the family tradition...

The old shop at Chop Swee Kee is still in operation and is run by one of the relative... Some customers find it more convinent to patronise this stall as it is located in the town...

Favorite Dish: The noodle house is noted for its wantan mee, char siew and wanton... The noodles can be dry or with soup... The wanton noodles are not tossed with dark soy sauce... For those who like a spicy touch, it would be tossed with some chilli sauce... For those who do not prefer it dry, there is also the clear soup noodles... The soup is rather flavourful as it prepared by simmering for hours with a blend of pork bones...

The noodle house is open from 8.00am to 6.00pm daily but currently closed on Mondays... It has plans to open daily including Mondays...

The speciality in this restaurant is strawberries... The proprietor, Adam Chew, was working in Cameron Highlands before returning to Batu Pahat to open this restaurant... When he left Cameron Highlands, he not only brought his highland-born wife but he also arranged for a setady supply of fresh strawberries to his restaurant...

Favorite Dish: The signature drink here has to be fresh strawberry juice... For salad, there is kerabu fruit salad flavoured with bunga kantan and (what else but) strawberry slices - other ingredients include slices of green and red apple, tomato, onion, lettuce tossed with Chinese parsley, toasted ikan bilis and sesame seeds... The Daddy Special Fish consist of a deep-fried siakap and then wrapped in aluminium foil with a special sauce to give it a distintive aroma and taste... Other dishes include steamed otak-otak, mutton rendang, black pepper fried rice and otak-otak fried rice... For dessert, there is cendol, ice kachang (ABC) and sago gula Melaka...

The restaurant is opened from 8.30am to 10.30pm daily but is closed on Mondays...

I think no one that were born and grew up in Batu Pahat will not know about Ah See wanton mee. It is one of the oldest brand of wanton noodles in this town.

Favorite Dish: The specialty will be of course its own homemade noodles made into the wanton mee. Instead of using dark soy sauce, the main ingredients for this wanton mee is sesame oil.

Since it's one of the oldest hawker center in Batu Pahat, don't expect too much on the hygiene and cleanliness at there. I have always enjoy the food here since I was a kid. There's lots of variety for you to choose from like fish ball noodles, braised duck, duck noodles, wu xian (deep fried fishballs, fishpaste and prawn crackers), roast chicken wings and many more.

Favorite Dish: Basically all the food are great since most of the stalls have been here for years and still doing good. My favourites are definitely the chicken wings, wu xiang and otak-otak!
