It was an easy task for the whole family (grandparents, parents, uncles, and aunties) to decide where to eat every Sunday. This stall was always the top choice for breakfast, as we are all meat lovers. There was one Sunday when my family decided to drive into Johor Bahru for a day trip. I was quite sad because I was looking forward to my weekly feast of braised pig's trotters. Just before we set off, my grandma received a call from the super cute boss (I think I "inherited" the special ability to make friends with hawkers from her). He was asking if we were heading down for Bak Kut Teh, so he could save portions of trotters for us. I was just beside my grandma during this call, and I gave her an appealing, innocent gaze (think Puss in Boots), hoping that she could at least "ta bao" the trotters for me before we left for Johor Bahru. In the end, she did! YAY! I got to eat the gelatinous, FATTY pig's trotters after the day trip! I was the happiest seven-year-old that day 😍 Besides bak kut teh, this stalls also sells old-school style steamed fish (get there before lunch to catch it), and other braised items that are off-menu. Just ask them when you get there! #hawkerpedia
