So the last week of 2016, I went on a family trip to Pontian Johor. We spent 1 day just travelling from Penang - Johor and 4 days / 4 nights in Pontian, Johor. Booked 1 family room in Oikos Hotel for all 4 of us coz we cheapo like that haha! It only cost us RM680 for 4 nights. Amenities provided include daily bottled water, housekeeping, toiletries and to our surprise, TURN DOWN GIFTS!! They were Hersey's kisses chocolates. They ain't stingy yo. I'd recommend this hotel if you're not expecting a closet, a table, breakfast and space. If you're in for simple living (unlike my mum, haha!), this place would most likely suit you as the room design is pretty modern and simple. The hotel is located next to the sea and just right below it are 2 restaurants which sadly, we didn't manage to try. By the looks of it, the food could be yummy as when we return from our daily shenanigans, the place is packed. Parking, although not FOC, the place is relatively new so there were quite many slots that do not require tickets, otherwise you can get the tickets from any mini mart.

Seeing the title of this post, the next few paragraphs would obviously be about food. Strictly FOOD.

1. Sate Kajang HJ Samuri, Dengkil R&R

We stopped by at Dengkil R&R while we're on our way to Johor for some Sate Kajang! If you ask me why satay kajang is so femes, I honestly don't know but since it's so famous, why not? We had the chicken, beef & fish for RM0.98 per stick and lamb for RM1.60 per stick. I personally like the lamb and beef. They were really tender. We also ordered Nasi Impit coz we hungry!

They don't serve onions unless you ask for it. Satay tastes so much better with onions. So ask for it!

Nasi Impit. Something like Ketupat without the leaf.

There are 2 types of sauces as you can see, we didn't know that they were supposed to be mixed together until halfway nomming the food. The moment we added the dark red sauce into the nutty sauce, we went to heaven. If you want additional sauce, it is chargeable. Sorry I forgot to get the info but I suppose it doesn't cost a million dollars. :D

Coconut water was only RM4.50 (3 people shared this btw)

This is the appetizer! It was really good and refreshing. The guava is marinated with dried orange peel. Not asam powder.

Homemade pork balls was AMAZEBALLS! Seriously BEST I EVER HAD!

These fuzhou pork balls were 'real' meat. They aren't processed pork balls you eat at steamboats so the meat taste really good. If you're a health-conscious eater, forget it this time coz they're simply worth it.

Fuzhou Fried Noodles

Egg Soup

Marmite Bai Ku Wang

Red Wine Chicken

I ended up ordering Roti Canai coz my soft boiled eggs didn't come at all. Roti was ok.
