Ramadhan Bazaar by Bus to Larkin Stadium in Johor Bahru

This is my third Ramadhan bazaar visit this year, and this time, I took public bus (SMRT 950 and 170) from Woodlands Bus Interchange to Larkin Bus Station.

I boarded bus 950 at Woodlands Bus Interchange. After clearing Singapore and Malaysia immigration, I boarded bus 170 at the JB CIQ. Bus 170 will take us to Larkin bus station which is a 10-15 minutes ride. Larkin stadium is another 10-15 minutes walk from Larkin bus station. Ask for directions when you are at Larkin bus station. To return to Singapore, just back track and take the buses in reverse order.

Like the Ramadhan bazaars at Plaza Angsana and Pandan that I have visited, the bazaar at Larkin also has plenty of interesting food on offer.

Let's just take a sampling of what we can find at Larkin Stadium Ramadhan bazaar.

This delicious looking dish is known as Roti Pita Kebab.

Mobile barbecue fish ball satay on the back of a Honda cub. Something that I've not seen before.

The fish balls are homemade in Kelantan and delivered by bus everyday to Larkin bus station. That's a very neat arrangement!

These are Sata, a traditional dish from the eastern state of Terengganu, consisting of spiced fish meat wrapped in banana leaves and grilled over charcoal. (Thanks to Laura Benjamin for the information.)

Nasi kukus originally from Kelantan is getting very popular in Johor. Frying chicken for the nasi kukus.

Customers pick the piece of fried chicken that they want to go with their nasi kukus.

Roti John. Another popular staple, there are several Roti John stands here.

There was a long queue waiting for this lady's fried kway teow and she told me that she had been to my johorkaki blog, YAY!

Grilling kebabs.

Ayam percik.

Barbecue chicken.

Spring rolls.

Flipping the dough for the murtabak. There are 3, if not 4, murtabak stalls here.

Grilled fish covered under a thick blanket of fiery sambal chili. 

Sup kambing or mutton soup. We can choose the parts that we want to go with the soup.

Frying keropok lekor or fish cake.

A Love Story: Me and the Swiffer Wet Jet

I receive a small commission on any purchases made through the link on the bottom of this post.  Thanks in advance for shopping!

With four kids, I appreciate products that clean quickly, and more importantly clean well.  A few years ago my mother purchased a Swiffer WetJet.  At the time, my family was staying with my parents while we transplanted ourselves from Pennsylvania to New York State.

Living with anyone when you have small children running wild is stressful.  Parents are no exception.

Every day before my parents returned from work I hurried to clean the mess my circus took such care in making all day long.  Sticky counters and tables.  Toys everywhere.  And a kitchen floor peppered with juice, smushed food and a few other unidentifiable items.

I was never so happy to have a Wet Jet at my disposal.  This stressful house-less summer was when my love affair with the Swiffer Wet Jet began.  After I vacuumed our daily crumbs, I was able to clean the floor in minutes.  And it worked just as well as a mop.  I would say better than a mop because a mop harbors germs like sink sponges.

It's pretty gross.  Which makes a Wet Jet pretty awesome.

The Wet Jet is light, and there is no plug and cord to trip over.  You press the button to spray the cleaner on the floor, and the velcro pad on the bottom loosens dirt and grime, and traps it inside.  The floor dries fast and looks squeaky clean.

When you're done cleaning, toss the pad and store the Wet Jet.

Last week, we vacationed at the beach.  We were at my parents' beach house, dragging sand in all day and spilling drinks all night.  The highlight of my last day on vacation was finding that Wet Jet in the hall closet.

The floors were clean in minutes.  No mop, no bucket, no dark brown soiled water to remind me of the mess we made.

Just me, the kids and the Wet Jet.  And a super clean floor.
