AN ALL-NIGHT FEAST

Eating out in Johor is fresh, fun and inexpensive. The locals in 'JB' as it's affectionately known, support a thriving street food scene that includes local flavours as well as the culinary influences of numerous other cultures including Chinese, Thai, and Indian influences. In fact, there are often so many options to choose from you'll be spoiled for choice.
A short taxi ride away from your hotel in Puteri Harbour, you'll find the Bukit Indah Wednesday Night Market - a two hundred metre stretch of tantalising tastes and smells open every Wednesday night. Wander down the street and nibble on whatever takes your fancy - it's all good!

Further afield and closer to Johor's CBD, you'll find numerous other night market choices including Bazaar Karat Pasar Malam, Sentral Meldrum Night Market, and the Meldrum Night Market. Arrive hungry because you'll want to try everything. A few local favourites are a must, including colourful assortments of steamed dumplings (grab a bunch), and the deep-fried whole squid on a stick - the meat is tender and succulent.

A SHOPPER'S HAVEN

Johor's reputation for value for money shopping is well deserved. Singaporeans and visitors from other Asian nations like China and Korea find the prices in the city's numerous malls and shopping strips more than reasonable. Some of the best malls can be found within easy travel distance of your apartments in Johor, in the city centre. One of the newest malls in Johor, R&F Mall is a neon-lit, vibrant retail destination stacked to the rafters with food and fashion options, as well as Emperor Cinemas - a first for Johor. Also new to the scene and a rising favourite is Sunway Big Box, located to the south and within a short drive from your serviced apartments. Book Xcess, located at Sunway Big Box, is a large scale book concept store that has to be seen to be believed. The store is packed floor to ceiling with over one million fiction and non-fiction titles.

THE GOOD CUP

In many respects, Johor is a young city - young at heart at least. So it's perhaps no surprise then the city boasts a flourishing contemporary café scene. You'll find most of the best cafés close to the city centre, within easy driving distance of your apartment in Johor Bahru. For fresh and delicious brunch fare, head to Flowers in the Window cafe on Jalan Dhoby. The decor is decidedly botanical - it's a calm oasis after a day spent shopping and seeing the sights. For something a bit quirky and uber hipster, head to Roost, Recycled & Repurposed Café which is also located on Jalan Dhoby. As the name suggests, the theme is retro-recycled shabby chic, with a menu full of healthy and hearty pasta bowls, juices and salads.
