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. Since I was heading over to Plentong for some shopping at Eco-Shop and Ninso, and Permas City was right along the way, I figured it was […]
Every Monday evening, the area outside KSL City comes alive as the popular KSL pasar malam kicks off from 5pm. After indulging in a relaxing massage at nearby Thong Thai, we strolled over to join the crowds and see what the buzz was all about. The night market was a feast for the senses – […]
Not exactly sharing a long, detailed food review post about Hiap Joo Bakery & Biscuit Factory this time. I’ve already raved about their banana cake and coffee cake previously. But I thought I’d share their 2025 price list so you know what to expect before heading down to JB. There’s been a price increase since I last blogged […]
Thong Thai Traditional Thai Massage came to our rescue when hubby desperately needed a good massage after his IRONMAN triathlon. 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. Getting to Amari Johor Bahru Same as last year, we arranged for a driver from the same Desaru car […]
Exactly one year after our Ironman adventure in Desaru, we found ourselves back at Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas. Last year, we stayed at Westin Desaru Coast, but this time we fancied trying something different. Same arrangement as always – with a triathlon bike and massive suitcase in tow, we booked private car transport from […]
I needed to collect a cake from Awfully Chocolate at Tampines, and that gave me the perfect excuse to finally check out Abundance Taiwanese Restaurant & Craft Beer Bar at Century Square. I hadn’t been since it opened in September 2024, so I made a lunch reservation. What followed were two visits in just three […]
