Besides going to animal cafes or cafe hopping in Johor Bahru, it is also a food haven for night owls, especially when the hunger pangs strike at midnight.Ā
Hereās yet another supper spot for you to save the next time those cravings for lok lok hit.
Hidden away in Mount Austin, Xiao Xiang Zi offers affordable grilled skewers way past midnight.Ā
How affordable are we talking?
Price-wise, each skewer starts from just S$0.30 (RM1) and there are a plethora of meat, seafood, and veggies to choose from. If youāre looking for somewhere that is wallet-friendly and has variety, you might wanna consider dropping by.
This place is hard to miss as it is fully decked out with a retro interior and eye-catching bright neon lit signs that give off a casual atmosphere.Ā
If youāre lucky, you might be able to catch the live band playing at the second level whilst enjoying your food.
You can expect to find a decent spread of lok lok skewers like Cheese Hotdog, Seafood Tofu, Tiger Prawn, Broccoli, Pork and Enoki Mushroom, Pandan Chicken, Smoked Duck, Coin Pork Meat, and Enoki Mushroom.Ā
These skewers are fried on the spot and it comes with a special dipping powder to pair with for an extra spicy kick.
Otherwise, you can opt to cook the skewers in their soup which is refillable from S$3.68 (RM12.90). The flavours include Tom Yum, Rattan Pepper Oil, Herbal Soup, Tomato Soup, and their signature Mala.
The mala soup comes in four different levels of spiciness, but fair warning, even the lowest level brings on a fiery heat so eat at your own risk!
Besides lok lok, they offer fresh seafood like Garlic Oyster (S$13.97, RM48), Extra Large Tiger Prawn (S$2.57, RM9), Large Scallops (S$5.14, RM18) and more. Pair this with a cold glass of Guinness (S$6.57, RM23) or Heneiken (S$6.57, RM23) and youāre settled for the night.Ā
