Causeway to JB

Walking past the famous banana cake shop in JB and you would also find another bakery just right beside it that usually full house on weekends.

Dona Bakehouse is an artisan bakery cafe, serving brunch menu if you able to dine-in here. Otherwise, you can grab some of their pastries back home like me.

Lost of pastries available on shelf display and I have chosen their Pistachio Rose Croissant & Vanilla Fran.

The Pistachio Rose Croissant is overwhelmed with the sweetness pistachio frangipanni and rose syrup in between, topped with crushed pistachio.

As for vanilla fran, it made with homemade pastry cream on croissant tart shell.

Found another gelato shop at this busy JB city centre called the Sibling’s Gelato. The location can consider away from the heart of tourist streets, further down along the street of Jalan Ibrahim.

This gelato shop has some cosy seating area, serving gelato, waffle and drinks.

Went for the refreshing lychee osmanthus flavour that comes with a pieces of lychee.

JB has a few places that sell laksa and WW Laksa would be one of them that is closer to the custom.

Love the rich flavour of laksa soup here, which is spicy enough. But they also provide additional chili paste if you want more spicier.

Unlike some other places, WW Laksa serve a more standard portion with ingredients; without the need to choose your own items to add. But of course you also can add-on additional items on top of what they have already included here.

There’s also 2 options for you to choose here, one is the normal without the blood clam and one with the blood clam.

If you not hate eating blood clam I would recommend you to go with it. There’s also fishball and fish cake that already inside your laksa.

The type of noodles also available to choose here.

Beside laksa and some other noodles, they also grilled otah and selling pieces by pieces.

Right at the busy JB city centre, this place is kind of a perfect spot to get away from all the crowds around.

This place is very chill on weekend morning, which seats available on first and second floor. Grab your coffee fix here if you looking for a place to take a rest in between your JB trip.

When searching for Pokok Cherry in JB, you would find 2 different locations with the same name.

I went to the one that serves nasi lemak from early morning 8:30am at the location few minutes drive from the custom.

There wasn’t any signage here, just a rundown setting of roof on a rusty green land beside the flyover.

Yet you could see people already standing around waiting for them to open at 8:30am and quickly filled the seats on weekend morning.

This Malay restaurant only sell Malay style of breakfast with nasi lemak and noodles. Which you will self-service by taking the dishes you want to go with your meal.

Not many options for the nasi lemak, but the standard one would be getting the fried chicken and fried egg.

You could taste the pandan flavour from their rice, matched with their popular crispy fried chicken.

While they serves variety of foods here, this dessert particularly interesting. Probably the only place in JB to find this dessert.

The Dutch Baby Pancake required a minimum 30 minutes of waiting time in order for them to prepare it upon order.

A crispy outer layer of German pancake filled with berries, fruits, honey and vanilla Ice-cream.

Another hidden cafe found in JB, but you could easily spot their big signage at the roadside. Which lead you down to the staircase for this greenery cafe.

If you always love some refreshing coffee like me, this orange shakerato would be the perfect choice. A cup of espresso mixed with orange peel and honey. Hint of sweet and sour, but still retaining the espresso taste.

A hidden Malay restaurant that is short drive away from the causeway, but well known among the locals for their signature bone soup.

Open as early as 6:30am and yet there’s already many diners when I came around 8:30am on Sunday morning.

Lots of choices of meat bone dishes to choose from, and you can go with either the cow or goat meat bone.

Generous bone pieces with tender meat on it. Underneath would be the mee rebus accompanied by crispy bites.

If you are having your meal at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, then you should leave without grabbing some fried snacks from this shop.

Famous for their 3 in 1 Chinese cake, which is a combination with sweet potato and yam.

This is one of the famous fishball noodle places in Johor Bahru, tables are usually occupied with the rest standing around waiting patiently for tables to be cleared.

Their fishball noodle comes with your choose of noodle and a bowl of warm soup with fishballs.

Choose from either spicy or non-spicy, which you will find generous chili sauce at the bottom of the noodle.

Their fishball really worth the trip to come here, for it’s chewy texture and not too fishy.

While most of the time we come to JB for decent local foods, but of course there’s also some other options in the city as well.

So if you are searching for Japanese foods at the city area, Kyudon could be one of your considerations.

Serving authentic Japanese foods here and I found this on the menu. Which seldom find in many places.

Suitable for people who don’t like spicy foods. The pumpkin curry taste sweet while retaining the spice of curry.

It comes with big portion of rice at the bottom, accompanied by salad and pieces of juicy chicken meat.

Miso soup is provided.

Found this gelato shop while walking around Sutera Mall, a place serving gelato, dessert and drink as well.
