Causeway to JB

They have quite an extensive range of drinks options here from coffee to non-coffee.

I went for this seasalt caramel macchiato, lovely blend of coffee with sea salt and caramel.

Available in cold or hot.

This beautifully decorated cafe has attracted many people for this aesthetically interior with their foods and drinks.

Beside serving Korean inspired foods, they also served delicious cakes like this one.

Layered with black sesame and genmaicha flavours.

If you asking the Johor residents where to grab decent supper at night, this place usually will be on the list of recommendation.

This noodles place only open in the evening from 6pm onwards till late night, making it one of the best supper spot to grab some meal at night.

You can choose from either sitting outdoor beside the road, or indoor with air-conditioned.

As for their wan tan mee, you can choose either with the black sauce or not, whether to go with spicy or non-spicy. Also to choose the portion either small or big.

I actually like it considering the ingredients given, every plate of wan tan mee will come with a fried cracker, char siew, veggie and wanton in a bowl of soup.

You are not going to spot this shop from the main road, as the shop is located quite hidden in this quiet area.

In order to reach here, you have to take the main road and get off to a side road that will lead you to this place.

Although the shop wasn’t so visible as it should be, yet you will find this shop always full house over the weekend and people would constantly dropping by hoping to get a seats.

Only a few type of desserts available here, which is much of Hong Kong style influenced. But all of them are definitely worth making your way here.

Housed in this very interesting kampong shophouses, which you enter the shop from the street but there’s more seating area actually located at one floor down. This is because the shophouses here are built on slope.

This is a pet-friendly shop and you may spots the resident’s cat and dog in the shop sometime.

I went for this interesting Black Sesame Peanut Mochi which is hardly found in Singapore. Chewy texture of mochi that topped with lots of peanut and sesame.

So if you are looking for in-between rest stop in the afternoon, this could be the perfect spot to head to.

They grill their otak only upon order, yet you can see them grilling pieces by pieces non-stop the whole morning.

You would see almost all tables will grab some of these to accompany their breakfast, so I definitely would recommend you to try it as well.

One hidden gem that mostly locals would come for early breakfast. This place called the Storia Cafe open from 6am, located very near to custom along Jalan Storey.

People come here for their nasi lemak, mee siam and and otak.

Their nasi lemak is in Malaysia style, with just ikan bilis, sliced egg and chili paste. Simple yet enjoyable taste to kickstart the day.

If you are walking around this area of Johor Bahru, you definitely would spot this new gelato shop that just opened recently.

Jinmuu Handmade Gelato join the busy F&B scene in this area by introducing their handmade gelato, which making it a perfect after meal spot especially when the day gets to hot,

There was 9 flavours to choose from when I’m here, and I decided to go with the oolong peach. Rich in flavour but it tasted more on the oolong side.

While the shop looks pretty small when you are at the front street, but they actually have a second floor upstairs with plenty of seats to enjoy your gelato here.

I believe most people who have visited to Johor Bahru before would have hear of or already try this place.

You may need to drive, take bus or Grab to reach here from custom. But totally worth the trip when you see all the ingredients on display.

Yes, the laksa here is much like our yong tau foo, where you first need to pick any ingredients that you want to add on to your laksa.

Lots of options available, from vegetables to beancurd to fishballs and more. Then choose the type of your noodle and you are good to go.

Although the location is a bit hidden from the main streets of JB, but this place is constantly packed with people during lunch peak hours.

Only one item available on the menu, it is their signature soy sauce chicken that grilled perfectly before serving to your plate of rice. Accompanied by some veggies.

Queue is usually formed outside the shop, with everyone waiting patiently for the table availability. The wait is totally worth it for a piece of juicy grilled chicken.

Although they would get your order at your table and serve the chicken rice to you. But you have to self-service with the soy sauce, chilli sauce and soup from the counter inside the shop.

So next time you are here in JB, perhaps this is a good chance to try something the locals like.

Although there’s many popular food places around Johor Bahru city centre, but there’s also some hidden place that only the locals would know about it for now.

For example this interesting food place called the Teo Hock Kee Fried Kueh Teow. It hidden in their own house at the corner of road just opposites the Persada Convention Centre.

There’s no obvious signage at the roadside but you can see it if you look closely into the house.

So basically you would be enjoying the uncle’s plate of fried kueh teow at the front yard of his house.

Which I find it very interesting and homely here. His fried kueh teow is very similar to what we can find in Singapore.

Go for the kueh teow with noodle, and add chili. That’s it, it would be a wonderful plate to enjoy.

A much quieter Japanese restaurant at Taman Sri Tebrau, along the business business main street.

Serving authentic Japanese cuisine here. Their set item like this one is really good for someone who want something big to enjoy.

Comes with the stir fried pork pieces cooked with egg on hot plate. Unfortunately they don’t light it up to make it warm. But I don’t see it necessarily and the hot plate still warm and you can enjoy eating without too hot.

The set also comes with mentaiko salmon sushi and prawn tempura. Serving with a big bowl of Chawanmushi and miso soup.

You definitely be very full after finish all of them and satisfying meal.

Found this exciting cafe at the lobby of Holday Villa, serving some very interesting coffee specialty drinks like this one.

Perfect for those who prefer sweeter kind of coffee. They used single origin Ethiopia coffee, mixed with fresh green grapes, jasmine green tea and sugar syrup.

The coffee hint is there but not too strong, and you would find many pieces of grape inside.
