『Glacé Bachir』 📍58 Rue Rambuteau, 75003 Paris, France 🇫🇷 【Pistachio Ice Cream】 £7,10 •Petite •Lebanese style ice cream GENEROUSLY COATED in pistachio nuts 😍 ⭐️9.5/10 I was really amazed that they could “pat” the ice cream and it didn’t melt that fast 🙈 probably cos it’s 10°C -ish with the wind 😂 Wonder how they sell it in summer then 🤔 Anyway this was really good and I would say must try if you are in Paris! Must eat fast! Even though it’s not melting, it’s toppling 😅 so gotta eat it in a rush hahah. Get the cup version if you wanna avoid that~ #PudinEurope #Paris #Pistachio #icecream #glacebachir #France #Foodies #sgfoodies #tbtonov22 (at Glace Bachir) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpv_pvOhRsA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

『E Pin Restaurant』 一品滋补肉骨茶 📍 26, Jalan Indah 15/1, Taman Bukit Indah, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor 🇲🇾 🐖【Bak Kut Teh 】-Pork Ribs base 排骨 2pax RM 30 +Enoki 金针菇 RM3 +Dry tofu strips RM5 +Pork liver RM3 +You tiao RM2 •Soup was fragrant and the pork ribs were super tender and came off the bone easily •Honestly this is better than the one opposite KSL (if u know which one I’m referring to) it’s less oily and more on the wallet friendly side. ⭐️9.5/10 🐷【Special Pork Leg】 RM 25 招牌炒猪脚弯 •This is also known as the fry ba kut teh, this is super duper good. •The flavour of the dish was so good •we got the part near the pig front paw but there’s option of getting like lean meat/ the paw it-self •Interesting dish, must try. You will want to dip everything into that pot 😂 •Even though I don’t really eat this portion of the pig but it’s done really well so, no regrets! ⭐️10/10 🐚【Soup Fried La La】 RM 20 招牌上汤啦啦 •Taste and Flavour is there, pretty normal to me •Sadly some clams were not washed that cleanly (some sand residues) ⭐️8/10 🦑【Fried Cuttlefish】 RM 35 •Very tasty must order! •A little oily but good thing they had the lettuce below to absorb some oil. So it’s not as oily and it’s good! ⭐️9.5/10 🐷【Fried Intestine (M) 】RM28 招牌炒生腸 •Ok so we heard from the staff that this is not the regular intestines we eat. This is 生腸 which is like raw intestines? But it’s definitely cooked to me. Anyway it’s supposed to be more meaty compared to the regular intestine dishes we eat. •Quite nice though, we totally cleared the dishes 😂 ⭐️9/10 Overall it’s a must go if you have bak kut teh cravings or if you want to try DRY BAK KUT TEH (their signature) definitely worth your trip. Btw there’s a lot of other food stores/ shops around this area, but we didn’t want to walk around as it was raining quite heavily. There’s a Wu Xia hotpot restaurant next door (where u get to cosplay/ wear their “hero” costume and eat hotpot) haha. - it’s pretty famous on tik tok. #jbfoodies #pudinjb #Johorbahru #bukitindah #bakkutteh #epinrestaurant #一品滋补肉骨茶 #肉骨茶 #sgfoodies (at E Pin Bak Kut Teh 一品滋补肉骨茶) https://www.instagram.com/p/ColU2VLvls4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
