Johor Bahru - share is caring - Part 2

[Elon Jobs]

This brand of eggs I find slightly dirtier than the house brand CP brand. For reference, the first row at the bottom of the screen is from two weeks ago, CP eggs size C (slightly shinier because of condensation as I just took them out of the fridge). CP eggs don’t have any dirt or chicken chit, and much less of those freckles on the shells.

Going through the receipts from the past week.
When you donate to the orphanage, they will issue receipt and it’s claimable for tax allowances if you’re local.

@Song Bro we finally did try the Swee Kee you recommended but at Aeon Tebrau. Not much business, patrons mostly Singaporeans. Not bad, the chicken is juicy and portion is big. The wife and children enjoyed our last meal in Johor Bahru before heading home. But the vegetables expensive, sambal kang kong need RM20 before taxes.

Opposite Swee Kee is HDL, it seems like their business not doing well. 12pm lunch time I walked past, not one , not two but THREE waiter and waitresses asking me to go in (I was alone running errands while the kids and wife were at arcade). One of them even stand at the opposite side, meaning they will approach you and giap you in between like a pin ball machine. I glanced inside about half full only. I think Aeon Tebrau F&B is damn competitive, not easy to do. That day our Tuesday lunch at Sutera HDL still okay, I would say 85% full (but the floor space is half of the original size back in 2023, the other half is some BBQ not on Google maps yet).

i think eggs with some feathers or dirt is better vs completely clean, the egg has a layer of goo from the hen that protects the egg. not sure how the eggs are cleaned in factory but since there are no regulations required for washing eggs, unlike in japan, i'm more scared of too clean eggs.

who knows if the natural protective layer was removed when being cleaned in factory and since there are no mandated cleaning, there might also have no regulation to check the protective layer that might have been removed during the cleaning process, unlike in japan.

usa is another country that wash their eggs clean, but doesn't have the, re-protect the egg after cleaning process like in japan. which is why usa eggs must be refrigerated, unless you get from the farmer next door directly.

one thing for sure is that QC of eggs is lower or might be due to much higher production volume so the chances of having 1 bad egg in a tray of 30 is much higher. law of large numbers. a few times already, i cracked a bad egg that looks completely ok on the exterior, and it made me waste the other already cracked eggs in my bowl. now i use 2 bowls when i make omelette, because i know it's going to happen again, when the 5th egg is bad and i cracked it directly into the other 4 eggs already in the bowl.

I see, I learnt something new- clean eggs doesn’t mean it’s better. Sharing my own personal experience, usually I will buy 2 trays for 2 weeks for 4 of us (not counting those I bought for my elderly neighbour and/or mother), I will choose the longest expiry, for this instance, it’s 19th January. So around 10-14 days later, whatever is leftover I will keep in fridge, this will totally eliminate the bad eggs issue for me. Previously I just store on counter top and use up to expiry date labelled on the plastic, and I always encounter bad eggs like your case which spoil the entire pan, very pek cek, rotten eggs is faaking smelly also, need to immediately empty the rubbish bin.

I don't trust the dates coz of our weather. I throw into fridge once I get home, and wash before using them.

if can keep 10-14 days outside means confirm the coating still there.

my spoiled eggs are when they are still "fresh" i consume a tray a week.

now i dread one day cracking open a rotten soft boiled egg

wipe with a damp cloth like mushrooms instead of washing

That's before going into the fridge or after removing from the fridge to cook?

I only buy eggs from aircon supermarkets coz the likes off wet markets tend to have too much "decorations".

Today went to Giant Southern City, it's further up from Taman Sentosa~

It's pretty large, abit dated, many shops were closed, got the kampong feel~ maybe I went at the wrong day, wanted to buy eggs, breads but they were not stock up~

in the end, I only bought 100plus and went NSK Pandan instead~ then I found out NSK was selling 100plus at RM29.50 vs Giants RM31.90~

I hope the place gets a major refurbishment/makeover within the next 3 years.

New year countdown, go Sutera. Every where got people shooting fireworks. I was searching for my grab (park some where), 1 stupid guy fire toward us, we are at carpark! My wife very scare. This more feel like war, at condo 15 floor, you won't feel the same

Opps CNY I bring my kid to shoot some fireworks in JB ..

Some old birds may recognize this spot.


Tiagong from my friend in china the more rural areas fireworks is completely different scale.

Wah one week also got rotten eggs? Where you usually get your eggs from?

Hard lah, same as Pandan city, Giant Plentong, Giant Pelangi. A lot of potential for the location but just left there. Same for Giant Bukit Indah before it closed down. I was at Giant southern city for the indoor playground on Wednesday night and really, the whole place very run down. Railing paint falling off, light flickering, the entire men’s toilet stinks because multiple flushes not working. I thought bestmart toilet was Jia lart but GSC really worse. The only saving grace was the little angel indoor playground was brand new and cheap (RM21.60 for day pass).
