Best Lalapot in JB
#traveldiaries
Lalapot has been popular recently and many would know the trending shop at Mount Austin. However, there have been mixed reviews regarding that shop. I would recommend this luo da shu lalapot instead! Dine in comfort without the queue and enjoy delicious lalapot broth! This is because this place is still a hidden gem and known among locals!
Their lala is super fresh and no sand. Also do add the snow beef slices. The beef is super tender and melts in the mouth!! We ordered another plate because it was that good. Added another serving of white clams because it was good!! The other table did the same too!
Condiments are unlimited and free. Love the service as they will cook the lala for you.

Masai
Masai is a small little town in South of Malaysia,near to Pasar Gudang.
The murals are super nice and people can feel the afford of each mural. The murals are near to the Masai Bus Terminal. 20minutes to see all the murals and you may then visit the main Chinese temple,xuantian shangdi Miao,which is more than 100years of history. Don't miss the Masai best foods, the soya milk, Mee rebus, soup kambing and pisang goreng

Warakuya Japanese Restaurant
#weekendgetaway
Food is an integral part of the itinerary when considering or discussing a weekend getaway.
Today, I will introduce a remarkable restaurant called Warakayua Japanese Restaurant. I had the pleasure of visiting this place during my weekend getaway. Located in Johor Bahru, it is conveniently situated approximately 20 minutes away from the JB custom.
The presence of floating lanterns outside therestaurant evoked an Oriental ambiance. Upon entering, the restaurant exuded an atmosphere of sophistication and tasteful decor.
The food is noteworthy and reasonably priced. I spent 50 ringgit on an all-inclusive meal consisting of sashimi sushi, which was delectable. If you ever visit JB, it is highly recommended to dine at this restaurant.
MOST AFFORDABLE Japanese Cuisine in JB!
#malaysia - Warakuya has got to be the MOST affordable Japanese food ever!
From less than $5 sgd you can already get an appetiser that’s super filling and the bill will always come under 100 RM even with their signatures!
And for sashimi lovers.. from 29.90 RM you’ll be able to enjoy that amazing delectable plate 🤤
I love their garlic fried rice and they also serve authentic Japanese Dobin Mushi (tea pot soup!)
Return vouchers are also given each time. The wait is slightly longer at night, hence do visit earlier if you don’t wish to wait!
📍 43, Jalan Kuning 2, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
^Drive to JB or take public transport then you can grab to the nearest outlet.

Dreamy wedding spot@Rowan & Parsley 💍
I just attended a very romantic and intimate wedding at Rowan and Parsley in Johor Bahru. It is a garden 🪴 cafe in the day and is opened for events and wedding functions. It seems to be a popular wedding venue for its photogenic interior and exterior. Location is not so mainstream but it’s totally worth a trip to check it out.
The set up was totally different from the tradition Chinese wedding. It’s so lovely to be surrounded by luscious greens. Lots of effort was put into the decoration and the space is perfect for a small wedding. It gives a rustic and industrial vibes. Good wise was okay as it’s a pre-selected meal by the couples. The appetiser - avocado 🥑 with prawn was good. Have to give the dessert - apple crumble with ice cream a big shoutout as it served as a really nice end to the meal.
The atmosphere was very romantic and pleasant. There’s also an outdoor area where couples can hold their ceremony. Would totally go back to check it out during the day again! #jbcafe #Weddingspot #Rowanandparsley

A Ming Emperor Duck's Curry Fish Head Pot has a surprise
The oversized model of the signature duck hangs in front of the store, and there is a long queue every time I pass by;
I decided to go to the restaurant early for dinner🍚
Unfortunately, the herb duck was not available for tasting, sold out before 6:30pm😱
Next time must go earlier to eat 😅
Ordered half a duck to try, the meat can lack tenderness, slightly disappointed 😞
Instead, curry fish head pot, fish meat tender curry sauce although spicy but taste 👅 delicious
A perfect meal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The broccoli 🥦 plate is too small RM27 is not worth it🥲
The overall food is ok, remember to eat early to try the herb duck🦆
#Zucchini is too expensive
#Curry fish head pot is delicious

JOHOR BAHRU STAYCATION IDEA
#staycation
"Old but gold"
This is how i described this well maintained marriot property in Johor Bahru city centre. Location wise a bit off centre, but it is still accessable by car or but taxi to JB central.
📍LOCATION
No 2, Jalan Permas 11, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya. 81750 Johor Bahru. less than 7km to JB sentral.
My staycation at this property was great overall. I love the classic yet well maintained room even it has been almost 20 years since it was build. It has a nice Large lobby as well. Super friendly and well trained front staff made this staycation more enjoyable.
Limited number of Room with direct pool access are available for those looking a fun and easy pool access from the room. I had a chance to visit their executive lounge with afternoon tea and evening cocktails. Foods were super delicious and quite varitey option were available. Breakfast spread were brilliant as well as their taste.
Even there are more hotels around Johor Bahru for travelers to choose from, this property should be on top of the list for any staycationer around Johor Bahru.

Nice & Cheap hotel for emergency stay
It was emergency stay, the price for 2 nights is very cheap. However, even the price is cheap the room is stilll quite comfortable to sleep on and I do get a quite nice sleep. For those do need emergency stay, can consider this hotel, because the price is cheap even urgent booking and the room is acceptable to sleep. The one I really have problem is the bathroom, the tight space & the room floor, others is acceptable. #familytrip #emergencystay #aladdindreamhotel
Senibong Bay Seafood 🦞 🍽️
It’s always a pleasant to visit this restaurant for dinner time! If seafood is a religion, this place is a shrine, as they have treated the sea creatures with the utmost respect.
Nice outdoor ambiance with live band performing songs while having your dinner, they also have indoor seating which is only ok. The menu features a lot of variety of mostly seafood in a variety of Chinese/Asian cooking techniques. Love the bamboo clam,Service is outstanding!
Would definitely visit this place again 😍🥰#seafooddinner #zichar #johor #dinner #gatherings

Place: Rowan and Parsley food artelier
Address: 📍17, Jalan Cenderai 20, Taman Perindustrian Kota Puteri, 81750 Masai, Johor, Malaysia
User rating: 10/10
The most beautiful ambience with lush green plants and iconic furniture to enjoy honestly one of the most delicious food and drinks found in cafes
We had the tacos ordered individually with prawn and pork and they were juicy, flavourful and perfectly presented
For mains we had the big brother benedict and a pasta, both of which are top tier standards too for flavour!
For drinks the barista went above and beyond and even designed a pegasus which was extremely impressive onto my hot chocolate (pic 9)
Definitely a must try
