[2025 Johor Bahru Shopping mall] Travel Guide for KOMTAR JBCC (Updated Oct)

#johorbahruhotels#businesstrip#shoppingmall#dimsum Recently I had a pleasant business trip stay at Fives Hotel Johor Bahru City Centre, a sleek and modern hotel with reasonable price, housed in a high-rise building. The design is minimalist yet comfortable, with understated quarters that are perfect for both work and rest. The location is absolutely unbeatable —right across Komtar JBCC and City Square shopping mall, with a link bridge to CIQ, making it very convenient for cross-border travel as well as shopping and dining. During my stay, I especially enjoyed having my favourite dim sum at The Dim Sum Place @ Komtar JBCC, just steps away from the hotel. The hotel also features a restaurant and a fitness room, which added to the overall convenience. Whether for business or leisure, this hotel offers both comfort and a strategic location in the heart of Johor Bahru. 📍45, Jalan Wong Ah Fook, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim.

There is also a hotel above the shopping center. It is safe and easy access for shoppers and if you have luggage, it is also easy to use the lifts and escalator too.

The Art of Malaysia exhibition showcases some of the Malaysia's top creative photographers showing off what their country is all about not just in art, but culture, traditions and their lifestyle.

#springitinerary In a quiet corner of Johor Bahru, there’s a café quietly hidden upstairs, seemingly separated from the outside world. Opening the door, the air is filled with the aroma of coffee and the freshness of plants. Sunlight streams gently through the windows, casting soft shadows on the wooden tables. Surrounding greenery grows quietly, as if their presence itself brings a sense of calm. Here, there’s no rush or outside noise—only peace, warmth, and the gentle flow of time. On a weekend afternoon, a few cups of coffee, a good book, or some hushed conversations with friends make time slip away unnoticed in these quiet moments. The atmosphere is not urgent but patiently still, as if nothing needs to be hurried. This place offers just this moment — a peaceful pause that belongs only to you. 📍 Cafe Jufei WAFtE., 3D, Jalan Ismail, Taman Kulai, 81000 Kulai, Johor, Malaysia #JohorBahruCafe #JohorOneDayTrip

#johorbahruguide I found a quiet little escape from the city buzz at CAP Gallery in Johor Bahru—and it was such a treat for the eyes and soul. The gallery is small but filled with beautiful local artworks that really capture the heart of Malaysian culture. From traditional kampung houses to durians painted in rich textures, each piece had so much personality. The best part? It’s not overwhelming. You can walk through slowly, take your time to admire the details, and just breathe. I left feeling calm and inspired.

It's our first time dining over here. The atmosphere was good and the prime location was also ideal. Staff was very attentive and greeted you with a warm smile. We felt welcomed upon stepping in to have our dinner over here. We have enjoyed ourselves very much. Lurved the decorations over here too. The menu were all being reflected at the board. We just look at it before we place our order. We will be back once again. Thank you for having us. #KomtarJBCC #Antipodean #Food Travel

#johorjaya There are a few new eateries at Komtar Shopping Centre. Manzanita caught my attention as there was a crowd everytime I walked past the area. There are two parts to the eatery. Besides an area for diners to dine in, there is also a bakery side. As it is my first time dining there, I decided to order Chicken Shakshuka and Fried Calamari. For drinks, I ordered Berry Fizz and Caramel Macchiato. Besides mains, they also serve desserts too!

Nice environment & lovely their Big Breakfast set so so delicious 😋 #antipodeanjb #komtarjbcc

Chunky Cat Cafe is a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique, heartwarming, and purrfectly delightful outing! My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

#malaysiatrip Just a few minutes away from the checkpoint, I visited the Komtar Shopping Mall at Johor Bahru. Yes I know we can find this eatery in Singapore but hey, it is cheaper in Johor so why not. I ordered the Fish with lime sauce, Green Curry Chicken Set, Prawn Egg Omelette Rice Set and Mango Salad. If you are eating at this outlet, please be patient as service is not as fast and when dining there, there were some flies flying around. Feedback to the cashier and I hope they do something about it! Hopefully the next visit will better!

#familytrips2024 Reached early to Johor but shops are not open yet? You can choose to have an early breakfast at McDonald's Komtar JBCC branch. This is not a very big outlet, thus seats are limited. Order can be through the self service kiosk or through the McDonald's Malaysia mobile order. The breakfast selections at McDonald's include Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng, which is not available in the Singapore menu. There are also other usual McDonald's breakfast selections such as McMuffin, Big Breakfast and Hotcakes.

Cat cafes are places where people can enjoy drinks and snacks while interacting with cats. Some possible reasons why people like cat cafes are: - They love cats but cannot own them due to various reasons, such as apartment regulations, allergies, or busy schedules. Cat cafes allow them to experience the companionship and affection of cats without the commitment and responsibility of owning them⁴. - They find cats relaxing and therapeutic. Petting cats and listening to their purring can reduce stress and anxiety, and improve mood and well-being³. Cat cafes are also usually quiet and cozy places, which can help people unwind and escape from their hectic lives. - They are curious and adventurous. Cat cafes offer a unique and fun experience that is different from ordinary cafes. People can try different types of coffee and tea, as well as cat-themed food and merchandise, while observing and playing with various breeds and personalities of cats. Some cat cafes also have special features, such as art jamming with cats² or cageless adoption centers.#JB Komtar #Cat cafe

#weekendgetaways bring me to Johor Bahru for weekend excitement at Johor Bahru City Center for staycation. The kids like this place because there are kiddy rides for them just next to Holiday Inn JCC hotel ground floor lobby. The older children can take self-driving rides and the younger children can take the stationary rides. This month the theme is dinosaur, and the boys will like it better. There is a staff there facilitating the rides and you can pay him cash. Sometimes when there are no children in the queue, you can get to ride a bit longer. The area to ride these kiddy rides is pretty big too. You can walk over to JB city square too.
