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!
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!
Admittedly, I frequent Johore Bahru quite often. And it came as a surprise when I told some friends and colleagues I was thinking of going to this seafood restaurant known as Todak, and many were aware of this place for the longest time!
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.
The ambience and decor of the entire place were Instagram-worthy.
It's not quite often that I had non-Chinese mixed rice, I find that their food was decent with a good variety to choose from. It will be perfect if the dishes were served warm but so far most of such dishes were served in room temperature.
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.
After this, we went to Restoran Todak (Orang Asli) to have our dinner
All in all, Grumpy Goat cafe 2.0 definitely goat our stamp of approval ! Lovely space and delicious food, would certainly want to make another visit here to try out the rest of their menu.
