I decided to try the difference between Hua Mui and IT Roo Cafe where both claimed they sell the Best Chicken Chop in town (Or should I say Jalan Dhoby?). IT Roo has the offcial title as they are voted as the Best Chicken Chop by The Star in 2003.
Verdict : It is a draw. Hua Mui for its chicken meat and IT Roo for its sauce.
The humble looking shop didn't appear to be any award-winning cafe. It is a narrow & small shop with decorations of old pictures of Johore Bahru and old posters hanging on the wall, bringing a nostalgia feeling. The dining crowd at almost 3pm justified its popularity as people would immediately replace a table of people that left.
A simple menu was presented to us upon our arrival. The Award-winning chicken chop was the first item on the menu. The menu is quite extensive, ranging from Western dishes, Chinese dishes, varity of Noodles, Soups and Sandwiches, drinks & dessert. They offer fresh juices, local kopi, tea,"westernised" coffee like coffeecino and canned drinks for their drinks menu. They also have ice-cream for dessert.
My overall take on this place, an above average cafe to have a decent Chicken Chop in JB.
