Restoran Ya Wang
鴨皇藥材燒臘大王
A famous herbal roast duck restaurant in Johor Bahru's Old Town, renowned for its three herbal varieties: Angelica Herb, Ginseng, and Ten Herbs.
Located on Jalan Segget in the Old Town, this roast meat restaurant is famous for its charcoal-roasted herbal ducks, available in three varieties: Angelica Herb (Dang Gui), Ginseng, and Ten Herbs (Shi Quan), with Angelica Herb being the most popular. Char siew and roast pork are also served. Reviews on quality vary, with some praising the tender and juicy meat, while others find it a bit too sweet or inconsistent.
