JB Food Discovery; Secret Tip Revealed!! 🤫

When you have no idea what to eat in JB and tired of the usual trendy spots, just check the GrabFood app to see what locals are ordering — that’s how we found Xiang Yang Food!

We tried Steamed Fish with Preserved Radish, KL Hokkien Mee, and Green Dragon Chives. The fish was incredibly fresh and paired so well with the crispy preserved radish, the Hokkien Mee was full of wok hei, and the Green Dragon Chives were cooked really nicely.

Total came up to less than SGD $20 for 2 pax — such a great deal for quality food! 🙌

📍Xiang Yang Food (51, Jalan Permas 9/5, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, 81750 Masai, Johor Darul Ta'zim)

... Read moreIf you’re exploring food options in Permas Jaya or nearby areas, Xiang Yang Food is a hidden gem that locals rave about. From my experience, the menu offers traditional zhichar dishes that pack bold flavors and authentic taste without breaking your budget. The Steamed Fish with Preserved Radish stood out for its freshness and interesting texture contrast from the crisp radish. I highly recommend trying it if you want something light yet flavorful. Besides the dishes I’ve tried, many locals also order their other offerings via delivery apps like GrabFood, making it convenient to enjoy at home. The quality combined with affordable pricing around SGD 20 for two people is remarkable given the portions and taste. Gelooo is another popular local spot, but if you want to discover lesser-known places that serve excellent Penang-style and Johor-style food, Xiang Yang Food’s address at 51, Jalan Permas 9/5, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya is worth a visit. For those new to zhichar or external food delivery options in JB, check out GrabFood’s local favorites section—it’s how I discovered this place! Whether you’re craving a casual, comforting dinner or looking for authentic flavors from outdoor markets, this spot offers a genuine Johor food experience with dishes cooked fresh to order. Give it a try for your next Permas dinner and enjoy a taste of JB’s rich culinary culture.
