Tian Xin Lou 添心楼 sits smack in the middle of JB Old Town’s most Instagram-worthy shophouse trio. You can’t miss it – three units painted in traffic light colours that practically scream for your attention. Chai Ji Fish Soup rocks the red on the left, Tian Xin Lou claims the green middle spot, and Bei’s […]
I came across BEUTEA 茶仙子 during a recent food crawl in Mount Austin, and I was genuinely impressed by what this tea brand brings to the table. After stuffing ourselves silly at Pin Wan Wan, we were in desperate need of a walk to shake off the food coma before heading to our next stop. […]
On our recent food trip to Johor Bahru, we ended up at Pin Wan Wan Mini Bowl @ Mount Austin. Despite making countless trips across the causeway over the years, we had never thought to explore Mount Austin. Looking back, it’s hard to believe we overlooked it for so long. My husband and I have […]
ROPUDON 肉山の霸丼 at Permas City, Johor Bahru first came on my radar through RedNote posts flaunting their drool-worthy donburi bowls. I’ll admit, I was completely hooked by those pics.

I googled for massage places and found this gem, which seemed ideal since it was only a short walk away from KSL. Spontaneous Monday Afternoon Decision We decided to pop by on Monday afternoon so […]
Padi Kopitiam 稻香咖啡 first caught my eye as we drove into Amari Johor Bahru after wrapping up our Desaru getaway. By the time we checked in, we were absolutely starving — and then I remembered the kopitiam we’d just spotted right before turning into the hotel driveway. Perfect timing, since it’s literally next door, barely […]
After checking out from Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas, we made our way to Amari Johor Bahru for a further extension of our little getaway, hoping for another memorable experience at this supposed luxury property.
