Fancy something served piping hot, pretty to look at and tugs your heart straight away with bold flavours? Say hello to Asam Pedas, a renowned dish all over Malaysia and Indonesia. For the uninitiated, it’s a fish stew cooked with tamarind (asam) juice, chili paste, and range of spices, then flooded with assorted vegetables, and commonly paired with a mound of white rice. The sour and spicy notes just wave on your tongue, affirming it's not your regular stew fix. There are a dime and a dozen in Johor Bahru, spreading mediocrity massively. Drop the worries, we have carefully curated the finest ones that make its way to your dish of fame.

Asam Pedas Botak
Certified
halalKnown as the senior player in the asam pedas scene in Johor Bahru, and the teeming crowd is an indicator that you’re in for a sinfully satisfying meal. They take so much pride in their red gravy, it’s constantly being churned out from the kitchen, assuring consistency to hit your palate with a pinnacle of pleasure at every spoonful. They also score points through varieties of fishes, and nothing is short of freshness, ideally complementing the broth that is spot-on with sour and spicy symmetry. Not to be overlooked is their crispy fried threadfin.
