The rest stop at Ming Ang (7 Jln Yong Peng, Kampung Parit Awang, 83700 Yong Peng, Johor) is for the lack of a better word, iconic, for coach travellers between Singapore and Malaysia. Not a spot for pilgrimage of any sort but rather a designated necessity somehow for a quick point for rest/toilet/food. Have been there a few times. Never paid much attention to what's there but a passing reference once years ago. I don't remember much about food from the stop.
Stopped by the Malay food stall this time during our coach stop on the way to Kuala Lumpur.
Had lontong kering. Boiled vegetables, rice cakes with serunding, a sauced drumstick and some sambal rich with ikan bilis flavour. I was surprised. This exceeded our expectations and food's actually not bad tasting.
Also got a plate of briyani kambing from them. Nicely done with achar on the side for some welcomed acid. What intrigued me was the sauce for the lamb. It's not curry as I would recognize. Texture's velvet like stroganoff with a mildly tangy sweetness that reminded me of the kebab sauces from HSPs. Plus underlying heat and salt. I like it. Lamb was arguably tender enough and fat laced with flavour.
