JB Trip Preview - Permas Jaya

Hey Everyone,
Once Again, Apologies for the Late Post! 😅  

Hahaha, Agar Tarik from Yesterday's Extreme Eastern Exploration of Pasir Gudang. 😅
Today's JB Trip brings me to a nearer but also Brand New Location: Permas Jaya (百万镇)

WARNING: This Preview contain Photos of (Cute) Exotic Animals like 飞鼠 Flying Squirrel and 果子狸 Civet Cat being consumed. If you are the Squeamish type, DO NOT view this post. 🙅‍♂️ If you are Uncomfortable at any Point about this Preview Post, just Stop Reading and Walk Away. 🚶 Do not come Screaming, Shouting, Condemning or Protesting in the Comments Section. Thank You.

Compared to the More Rural Countryside Feel of Pasir Gudang yesterday, Permas Jaya leans More Towards Modern City-Life Feel. 🏙️ Nearer to the Causeway, but still not a Place that Most Singaporeans would go. 🤔 At least I didn't see any Singapore Cars around. 🚗 Perfect for a JB Weekend Exploration! 😅

A Very Self-Contained Town, it has its own Aeon Mall (albeit a Smaller One), and very much a Popular Location for the Locals. 🎉 Some Places even have a Taman Mount Austin Vibe. Plenty of Eateries and Entertainment all around. 😄

Here are some Highlights of the Trip:

Longtime Readers of this Food Blog will know that I am a Keen Explorer for Exotic Foods 野味 and will never pass the Chance to give it a try. 🐍🦎🐗 Such Foods seems especially quite Rare in JB from my Travels ... Until Today. 😳Introducing Restoran Makanan Laut Honbin 宏運海鮮餐館. I really must credit Johorkaki who introduced this place that I got to know from his 2024 Blog Entry. 📝 As this is a Tze Char Place, he was there to eat their Normal Tze Char Dishes... but this particular line he wrote intrigued me: 🤔

"Honbin is also famous for their frog, wild boar, terrapin, deer, etc dishes."

To be fair, I've eaten all these before, but something tells me that this place is so much more. 🤔 Relying on merely just a Hunch, I thought I'd give this place a try. 😅 I would soon find out what a Deep Rabbit Hole this visit was! 😳 Not only do they sell the above Standard Stuffs, they got even more Exotic Animals! ❤️ (Subject to Availability of course)
Turtle Soup and Wild Boar Meat I've eaten before. Its the Next 2 Rare Animals that some people might find to be Very Controversial: 飞鼠 Flying Squirrel 🐿️ and 果子狸 Civet Cat. 🐆

ESPECIALLY CIVET CAT because isn't this the Animal that caused the SARS Epidemic back in 2003? 💉🤔 Ohhhh boy!!! So ... if Singapore ever have a SARS 2.0 in the Coming Weeks or Months, I guess I'm Patient Zero. 😅

If you are interested to visit, do note they ONLY ACCEPT CASH. 💵 No Debit/Credit Cards. Being Exotic Dishes, it also goes without saying that the Prices are not Cheap. Exotic Meats are also of course subject to Availability.

🐗 F05 Ginger Wild Boar Meat (Small) = RM26.00
🐢 R12 Herbal Turtle Soup = RM46.00
🐿️ 飞鼠 Flying Squirrel = RM120.00
🐆 果子狸 Civet Cat = RM68.00
🥤 Chinese Tea (Cold) = RM0.80

No Service Charges
Final Total Cost = RM280.80 (S$90.40)
(Hahaha, I like how the Receipt just says: "Meat, Meat, Meat, Meat") 🍖😅

This Place is Very Popular among the Locals as you can see. 👍
Reservations are recommended if you want to come during Peak Hours.
Credits to JohorKaki for listing out their Numbers:

It is possible to Walk-In though, 4.00pm on a Sunday is fine.
By 5.30pm, I noticed Crowds started to stream in. 🤔

Is it worth the Money? 🤔 For me, paying Sub-S$100 to be able to eat things that I can NEVER EVER hope to ever eat in Singapore is worth it. 👍 Are they even Legal to Eat? 🤔 I'll be honest, I'm not sure. 😅 Johorkaki did mention that "Honbin has the proper license to serve certain wild game like terrapins, wild boar and squirrels."

As for how they actually taste, I guess you'll have to wait for my Future Review of this Place to find out! 😄
(Spoiler: They get my Highest Top Score, and its not just about the Taste and Quality.) 👍

----------------------------------------------------------
Moving on, the Final Highlight is really the Main Reason why I visited this Suburb. This is the Permas Jaya Sunday Pasar Malam! 😄 Stretching about 130 metres in length, it is Very Popular as you can see! ❤️ I love the Super 人气热闹 Vibe of Malaysia's Pasar Malams. ❤️ Definitely worth a Visit if you're here in Permas Jaya on a Sunday!

And of course a Couple of More Places I visited and a Sneak Peak of the Other Dishes I ate! 😄

Below are the Complete List of Eateries I visited if you are interested. 👍
