THE BREAKFAST SESSION AT RESTORAN HUA MUI

  27TH APRIL 2026   ~ I had some kind of errand to run with the assistance of an ex-student [of SMK Taman Universiti], Mr. Mohd. Faiz. We decided to get breakfast as the task would take quite some time to be completed.

He suggested Restoran Hua Mui at Taman Anggerik Emas. I realized I had been here before with friends from Seremban last year [READ HERE].

I took the breakfast set that comprised of a huge portion of Nasi Lemak, a hot drink and a set of toasts. The price was still reasonable though.

As I was about to enjoy my food, on of the staff approached and asked whether I was Cikgu Zainal. It was another ex-student of mine of SMK Taman Universiti, Miss Lee Pei Jing. It was very kind her to stop by at my table to say "hi" and chat a bit. And she even gave me a discount for my bill. That had made the breakfast at Hua Mui a memorable one.

THE LUNCH SESSION AT HUA MUI RESTAURANT

After the breakfast meeting, we then gathered again for lunch at one legendary restaurant in Johor Bahru: Hua Mui. Founded in 1949, the coffee shop [known as Kopitiam among the locals] had expanded by opening many branches in town. The outlet we went to was located in Taman Anggerik.

At 3:00 p.m. it was a bit late for lunch so there were not that many people in the dining area.

This was my second time at Hua Muoi Restaurant. The first one was at one of the branches in Taman Sutera. We tremendously enjoyed our food and I loved the Hainanese Tea as well. Puan Sakinah Ismail was the one who suggested this place for us. The one place to go to if you want to experience of eating in a traditional coffee shop in Johor Bahru.
