The trunk road leads on to Mersing in northeast Johor and Kuantan in Pahang. Ulu Tiram is easily accessible through the Tebrau Highway, Jalan Kota Tinggi trunk road, and the Senai–Desaru Expressway.

The crispy lard residue not only adds to the taste but also adds a scent.
This soup is amazing, because it’s sweet and not like some soup that have a grossly oil taste. It is the reason behind why that people can’t stop drinking it after drink once. The dash of fried garlic oil and crispy bits added another flavor dimension to the tasty broth. Must have a try!
