A taste of history through a generational, sweet-and-savory Tanjung Balai Karimun delicacy that you won't easily find anywhere else on the island.
Steamed buns with a difference, the Xiao Long Bao especially, best with their chilli dipping sauce.
A classic market-side bowl, sweet and hearty, a familiar morning ritual for many locals, dine and takeaways.
A local legend that's originally from Tanjung Balai Karimun, hidden in a tight housing residence and yet people always come despite the difficulties in parking.
In Pasir Putih, everyone knows this Nasi Kari spot, a lighter take on flavor that doesn't make you feel as heavy. A spot that everyone comes for brunch or breakfast, especially on the weekends.
