I have been visiting Wow Wow West since years ago and I must say, their quality has not dropped at all. So as a blogger, it's about time to feature them! When I tried visiting them weeks before, it's either their western food gets sold out before I reached, or they have yet to start their operation. 
A warning to you, make sure you are really starving when you visit, their portion can be quite huge!

Curious about why people queue for this? 

For those who have visited them before will know they would usually deliver the food to your table. But they don't do that now. Probably due to the good business, they have since changed to a self-service system. After you have placed your order and make payment, you will be given a number. Just wait around the stall for your number to be called to collect your food. The average waiting time is about 20 minutes.

The food served to us really covered up the whole plate. We ordered their chicken chop and fish n chips. At $7 each, we were given a generous portion of food on both plates. The sides, consisting of fries, coleslaw, and baked beans were generous too! The coleslaw was fantastic. I don’t usually like coleslaw, but I finished this without realizing it. It is a very generous portion that tastes slightly sweeter, unlike other similar stalls. The fries were, however, slightly over-fried as they were hard on the outside. 

Here's their signature big piece of chicken chop. The Chicken chop had bits of black pepper flavor. 

The chicken is fried such that the skin layer is crispy, while the meat is still tender.

The fish and chips portion was huge!!! Every plate of the chicken cutlet or fish n chips will be paired with their mayonnaise sauce, which was actually not to my liking. Their sauce was a little too sour which tasted like a mixture of lemon with orange. I prefer to eat the fish with chili sauce.

The fish was fried to a crisp golden-brown on the outside, but still soft and tender on the inside. Honestly, I, an adult male could not finish this whole plate by myself.

Added a Chicken Cheese Sausage for $2. It tasted like a normal chicken cheese sausage, a bit towards the saltier side.

There is no doubt that the food here is good but I think what really attracts the crowd is the generous portion given. For the price that you are paying, I guess that it's pretty worth it.

Claypot Chicken rice at Taman Pelangi Food Centre - Old school charcoal cooked dish

Operating Hours: 5 PM - 10 PM

Operating Days: Daily

Address: 1, Jalan Perang, Taman Pelangi, 80400, Johor Bahru

This is an old-school food centre in Taman Pelangi. There are quite a number of stalls selling different kinds of food here. 

Today, I am going to recommend this claypot stall at the end of this food centre. Claypot chicken rice is the most popular stall in this food centre based on the number of claypot seen from each table.

Everything is done from scratch and cooked with charcoal, the claypot chicken rice here is done in a very old school way. 

When the rice is partially cooked, pieces of fresh chicken, salted fish, and slices of pork sausages are tossed into the claypot before it was served.

The claypot chicken rice consists of tender marinated chicken meat, pork sausages, salted fish, spring onions and rice with dark soy-based gravy. You will need to stir them all yourself first. A tip for you, if you do not like to stir them yourself, you can also ask them to stir for you.

Rice was moist, firm and completed and well coated with dark soy sauce after stirred. It was also not over-cooked. I like to scrape off the rice crust which was stuck on the clay pot walls and stirred thoroughly into the rest of the rice. The rice clinging to the walls of the clay pot were slightly browned, giving it a special crispy texture overall.

Priced at 8 RM, the claypot rice here is enough for 1 to 2 person. It is one of my usual spot I like to visit if I am craving for claypot rice.

Centre Satay Bee Hoon 中心沙爹米粉 - Generous Peanut-y sauce all over!

Satay bee hoon is a fusion of Chinese and Malay dish, mixed of bee Hoon, Kang Kong, cuttlefish and drowned in satay or peanut sauce. I think every tourist should not miss this unique Satay Bee Hoon when they are in Singapore.

I don’t often eat Satay Bee Hoon, but to be honest, Centre Satay Bee Hoon is one of the pretty good stalls that makes me nod my head while I'm eating it. Centre Satay Bee Hoon have been serving this dish for more than 30 years.

Prices are at $3.50/$4.50/$5.50 a plate. Price of $3.50 should be enough to fill an adult stomach.

Most of the satay bee hoon elsewhere where the gravy and bee hoon did not mix well together. Looking at the amount of sauce here, quite impossible.

The ingredients of satay bee hoon here are cuttlefish, prawn, sliced pork, cockles, Kang Kong, fried bean curd and obviously the bee hoon.

The gravy here was surprisingly the highlight for me as it was just right every mouth. The nuts were cooked till it was soft and the gravy wasn't overly greasy. It looked rather watery, but when tasted, the gravy was so rich in flavour. It has a strong aroma of roasted nuts, with bits of peanuts all over.
We will come back here for their peanut-y sauce definitely.
