Buka Puasa at Gudang Pipit Biru
When I first heard about this venue, the most challenging part is figuring out the location. Despite being born and bred in Johor Bahru, I've not heard of it. However, worry no more - Google Map and Waze will take you right up to its doorstep. Its Buka Puasa Buffet is commendable. You can find genuine, authentic Johor favourites here such as Kambing Golek (roasted whole lamb), Botok Botok, Asam Pedas, Sambal Goreng, Pecal, Opor Ayam, Ikan Bakar, and even Negeri Sembilan's hot

Cosy Craft Corner
It's not too much to say that Kompleks Kraf Johor is a little heaven for arts and crafts lovers. Tucked away in a quiet corner somewhere in Larkin, this is a small craft village that hosts many talented artisans who will allow you to watch how they produce their exquisite crafts. If you're into ordering custom-made items, chances are there's someone here who can design and construct a piece for you. My guide, Mr Safari, has been involved in an ancient traditional dance that

Buka Puasa at Mutiara Johor Bahru
Ask any Johoreans to list their favourite three hotels to go to for Buka Puasa and chances are most of them will have Mutiara Johor Bahru (Mutiara) on their list. Known for its authentic way of preparing dishes so that they taste exactly as how our mothers prepare them at home, check out the hotel's long line of stalls and live cooking stations before you decide what to put on your plate (especially if you're a small eater). So what's new this year? The ‘Colours of Ramadan’ B

The Baker and Her Pretty Cakes
Did you get that feeling that some cakes are just way tooooooo pretty to be sliced open and eaten? I get that like.. ALL the time! It's not helping that I know a master baker who has been doing this fine art for years - just look at these photos and tell me if they're not amazing? From weddings to birthdays, 'hantaran' to tea parties, they are all fit for a queen! Bonus - they taste as good as they look too!

Burger Bakar Anyone?
I'm a big fan of burgers - they're super easy to find, and most of the time, they're highly affordable. They're the perfect comfort food for me. When there's a need to taste smoky grilled home-made burger pate, I head to Burger Bakar Abang Burn at B-Point for their grilled burger, or locally known as Burger Bakar! Beef and chicken burgers are the most popular, but they also serve other equally delicious grills such as meatballs and sausages. Kids will go gaga just looking at

Asam Pedas Melaka Claypot in JB
I guess this is a sign of excellent food. I've forgotten to take some photos (yet this was my third visit to the Asam Pedas Melaka Claypot at Jalan Ibrahim, Johor Bahru). They have very friendly people in the house, and it’s nice to see some familiar faces regardless the time of the day. From 10 am to midnight, they dish out a long list of Asam Pedas; all made to order a la minute according to your choice of meat/fish/fish roe. True to the authentic Melaka-style, the Asam Ped

Marvelous Mok Mok
You must visit this beautiful place when you need some time to think or just lazing around with your friends at Taman Pelangi. For me, Mok Mok is certainly is a good spot to unwind after a long day at work. If you’re into fresh, healthy food, all the better - if you’re not, the food here won’t kill you as they taste absolutely awesome! All their salad leaves come from FOLO farm - they’re 100% organic. Specialties of the house include Marinated Rice with your choice of protein

Tropique, Here we Come..
Here's guiding you to find more great food in JB - at Tropique! Take a trip to the new F&B outlet this weekend and try their food and refreshing drinks. Their menu has a fine balance between hip and fine dining, fusion and traditional; all lovingly prepared and plated for your eyes (and stomach). Madam Lim’s Brownie is just one of the many dishes I could vouch for when you dine at the Tropique. Others include Miso Salmon, The Poke, Shepherd’s Pie deconstructed, Chicken Wings

Garden to Table Concept @ Medini Edible Park
Like most people, I run to the park when I need a breather, but this park is super unique because it's Medini Edible Park. I am blessed because instead of just reading about edible gardens in journals, I get to visit one, and sometimes taste some harvests, too! You can take a drive to the Edible Park if you're familiar with Medini's vast landscape but if you're not, just type 'Medini Green Parks' on Waze or Google Maps, and you'll be directed to this beautiful garden.
