We decided to splurge a bit more for a one-night staycation at our closest neighboring country last month and the choice we made was Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel; a five-star outfit that might seem far from the city center yet with a great advantage if your stay is on a Sunday!
The Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel is the only property under the Marriott portfolio in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and it offers great value for Marriott Bonvoy members! Check out my review of the Club Room as a Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite member.

At my first bite of the Fried Chicken flavoured with Dried Chilli, Garlic and Szechuan Pepper, I knew that even non-fans of fried chicken would just fall in love with this.
The All-you-can-eat dim sum at Wan Li is priced at RM64.15 per person with free flow of tie guan yin quality Chinese tea.
Paling ciksun recommend adalah Wok-fried Australian Wagyu Beef with Foie Gras and Asparagus, Grilled Lamb Rack with Homemade Pineapple Barbecue Sauce dan Fragrant Fried Chicken with Dried Chili, Garlic and "Szechuan" Pepper tu. Sedapp gilerrr Foie Gras dalam menu wagyu beef tu. Memula ciksun ingat lemak wagyu sebab memang rasa macam lemak daging yang dipanggang tapi dia ni bentuknya nampak seolah-olah pejal macam tauhu, bila gigit nah kauu cair juicy dalam mulut.
Fresh Yummy Fish Balls with your Yong Tau Foo?
I was delighted with Ah Koong's mee pok noodles. I was surprised actually. One of the reasons why I haven't been back to Ah Koong for a decade was because the generic noodles tended to be overcooked and the sauce tasted flat.
Ah Koong Fishball was a regular stopover. My dad and the kids like the comfortable environment and the fried fish cake.
I would’t say it was a letdown, but I felt that it was run-of-the-mill and not really worth the calories.
We always enjoyed our meals at Restoran Pekin. The ingredients are fresh and good quality. The execution is immaculate. The environment is comfortable and familiar. The service is earnest and sincere. Pricing is also very competitive. Pekin’s standards are famously consistent and I recommend them to…
Food aside, the interior of the restaurant is unique and delightful. It's just warm, welcoming and yet classy. Great for both family and friends.
Total bill was RM97.90 ~S$32.63 inclusive of 10% service charge.I would say there are hits and misses in terms of the food quality and price. Anyway, taste is based on individual preference. But one thing for sure, this place is quite attractive in terms of their interior space and the location. You can enjoy your savoury here and hop over to Vanilla Bean Café for their well-known hotcake dessert.
白天阳光透进落地窗洒入室内；夜晚对岸茫茫灯火与你相伴。室内环境以各式花卉与植物盆栽作为装饰摆设，营造自然浪漫情调，加上美食相伴，还在等什么？
Ku-Kai Izakaya is definitely a hidden gem not only for special occasions but also for a normal family meal or an evening date.
This hidden gem is perfect for any occasion – a post-work chill session, a family meal or even a romantic evening date. Due to their limited seating, I would recommend making a reservation before heading down!
Singaporeans love Japan and with the current travel restrictions imposed by the land of the rising sun; it’s a fact that many people can’t w...

Why meet at the D’Shanghai dim sum restaurant? clean and hygience child-friendly restaurant ample of free parking lot
当天我们点了不少小笼包，但还没回过神来桌上的小笼包全都不见了！幸好Jennifer夹了个蟹粉小笼包到我的盘子上，谢谢珍妮花！蟹粉小笼包有一股浓郁的海鲜味，个人比较喜欢传统的猪肉内馅，喜欢吃螃蟹的朋友可以试试这道。干贝蟹王汤包一上桌时整个就是震撼，那么大的一个汤包我还真是第一次看到呢！干贝蟹王汤包里面的馅料不多（有一些蟹肉和干贝），重点是要喝那鲜甜营养的精华汤汁！喝了感觉就很养生，海鲜风味满分！
You wouldn't see the last of me at Hongdae Ip Gu! I always wanted to bring my mom to have Korean BBQ in Malaysia but high chance we would have seafood tzechar instead!
Nice food, good efficient service, reasonable pricing. A good Korean BBQ option in JB.
A typical tze-char eatery with simple decoration and functional furniture. Of course the things that caught our eyes were the photographs listing the chef recommendations. Definitely adding a few to the our order.
It's a good hide out to chill and enjoy a nice cuppa and some nice cakes and pastries in peace and quiet.
Blueberries Ricotta Hotcake (RM25 / S$8.50) contains toasted pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and colourful fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, kiwi and the uniquely tropical dragonfruit. It is served with a scoop of ice cream that’s the perfect remedy for the scorching hot weather, as well as, maple syrup, for that sweet finish.

I like 江豐肉骨茶's take on Shoon Huat's savoury sweet herbal style of JB BKT.
Grand Seafood at Stellar Walk is Johor Bahru's newest seafood restaurant.
Permas Jaya Shi Wah bak kut teh is a good place in JB to taste brothy Johor style BKT with savoury herbal soup and very fresh pork.
A Kulai Sze Hwa style bak kut teh shop popular with JB folk. The broth leans on savoury (salty) with subtle herbal notes. The fresh tender meat is slightly firm.
Shoon Huat Bak Kut Teh has many branched in JB, but the main original store is where we are today. Choosing a variety of parts to put in our Claypot, the Bak Kut Teh has a clear soup, but the taste was lightly herbal and strong. A nice light taste which was delightful.
Our virgin visit to Permas Sunday Night Market was a coincidence as we had intended to check out Johor Jaya night market but the GRAB driver told us it wasn't operational that day! Not sure how true that was since Google Maps did indicate operating every day.
Total Damage: RM39.20 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 1/5 Food Serving Speed: Moderate Recommended?: No
Overall, the dishes were flavourful and flavours were well balanced. The food were not overly sweet or salty, nor too greasy. Everything tasted just nice and ingredients were fresh.
When you crave for KL style wanton mee like I often do, Yap Ki Street wanton mee stall in Permas Jaya in JB can save you the trip to Kuala Lumpur.
