Right in the heart of Johor Bahru is where Bazaar Karat operate every night. Surrounded by the cafes and eateries which have closed by night falls, you can find just about everything here. The market starts setting up as the sun goes down and ends around midnight From street food like pani puri, fried chicken and takoyaki to finding the trendiest fashion like clothes, shoes, bags for all ages. It is a place to do some light shopping after all the shopping malls have closed

Surprise food discovery

This is a new restaurant along the way towards Z Hotel and I also see that they are having promotions. I managed to order my favourite dish too and it was hot and delicious. They also have many other items too. This newly open restaurant is just a few doors away from the famous curry fish head restaurant. So it is a good alternative when the queue is too long for the curry fish head restaurant. #Johorbahru #Malaysia

Monday Morning at Sunday Morning Cafe

#malaysia #johorbahru #cafe We stumbled upon this Japanese-style cafe during our visit to Johor Bahru. Its convenient location on Jalan Wong Ah Fook shopping street is what led us here. They offer simple dishes like curry udon, curry rice, sandos, and Japanese-style brewed coffee. We tried their purin and iced latte. While the coffee was a bit light, I really liked their purin; it's not overly sweet, and you can taste the egg in the pudding. What we loved most was the atmosphere, which is similar to the Showa-era-style kissaten that you often find in Japan. It can be a bit tricky to locate the shop, though, as it's situated on the 2nd floor of a shophouse, and there's minimal signage on the building's facade. #sundaymorningcafe #coffee #japanesefood

Hidden gem - Flim lab & Drip Coffee

#tripblazers I had the pleasure of visiting Flim Lab & Drip Coffee, a charming cafe tucked away on the 2nd floor—a true hidden gem. Their Japanese cuisine is not only delightful but also incredibly affordable. I particularly enjoyed their drip coffee. It's a must-visit spot for those seeking a unique and satisfying dining experience, and it's so Instagram-worthy!

Duck King Herbal Roasted Duck - popular eat with locals - advertised as consultant to Singapore's famous Dian Xiao Er Roasted Duck Duck King is a popular roast among locals and visitors. Their roasts are popular and side dishes like vegetables and other cooked food dishes are also available. The Roasted Duck is juicy and fragrant. it has a variety of herbal sauces available to go with the duck. TheChar Siew and Roasted Pork is good too. However, though the duck meat is tender and juicy, don't expect the skin of the duck to be crispy like Dian Xiao Er. General opinion around the table is that Fian Xiao Er took the herbal.roasted duck concept and did better. Still,is worth a visit if you are in the area and wanted to try some local style Roasted meat. #wongahfook #roastedduck

Do note that shop closes at 3pm so is only available for breakfast and lunch hours. #curry #wongahfook Address: 74, Jalan Wong Ah Fook, Bandar Johor Bahru 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor Malaysia Highlights - curry fish Avg.

JB Cafe hunts: Eco brutal meets modern cafe

📍Tom & Danny's Cafe Nestled away from the busy touristy streets at 67A & 67B, Jalan Ibrahim in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Tom & Danny's Cafe is a hidden gem near the border between Malaysia and Singapore. Stepping into this quiet eco botanic cafe was like finding an oasis amidst the heat and bustling streets. The interior decor of the Cafe was absolutely phenomenal. It provided a much-needed escape, offering a cool and serene ambiance. The attention to detail in the design created a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for a refreshing rest. One of the highlights of the cafe was their unique and intriguing signature drinks. Although we had already had coffee earlier, we couldn't resist trying their iced chocolate, matcha, and earl grey cake. Tom & Danny's Cafe spans across two stories, and what caught my attention was the massive surrounding window. It allowed us to enjoy our food while feeling connected to the outside world. If you're in Johor Bahru and seeking a peaceful retreat, I highly recommend visiting Tom & Danny's Cafe.
