1-Day JB Itinerary for Food Lovers: Best Eats and Hidden Gems

#favouriteitinerary #travelanywhere Here’s how we spent an amazing day in Johor Bahru, filled with tasty food, relaxing cafés, and a little shopping—all just a short ride from the checkpoint. --- Morning: Clear Customs & Head to KSL Area Once we cleared customs, we took a quick 10-minute drive to KSL Shopping Mall. It’s a great spot for a bit of shopping and a good stretch before the day really kicks off. Lunch at K Fry Urban Korean (Holiday Villa) We were starving, so our first stop was K Fry Urban Korean. Their Korean fried chicken was just what we needed—crispy, flavorful, and totally satisfying. Perfect way to start our JB adventure. --- Afternoon: Café Hopping & Shopping at Austin Heights After lunch, we drove about 20 minutes to Austin Heights, which is full of cool spots to shop and relax. - Slow Day Café – This place has the best matcha desserts and lattes. It’s a really peaceful spot to unwind and just enjoy the moment. - Nuo Yuan Mochi – We stumbled upon this hidden gem inside a laundromat. They make the most delicious handmade mochi, and you can even choose your own flavors. So fresh and chewy! - Ben Gong’s Tea – We couldn’t resist trying the golden oolong kakigori here. It’s a shaved ice dessert with tea-infused flavors—super refreshing and perfect for the warm weather. --- Evening: Dinner at Taman Melodies By now, we were ready to wind down, so we headed to Taman Melodies for dinner. It’s another 20-minute drive from Austin Heights, and it was definitely worth it. Dinner at The Camp 4 Season Outdoor Park Dinner was at The Camp 4 Season Outdoor Park, an outdoor food court with a fun camping vibe. The food was fantastic, offering a mix of Malaysian and international dishes. The atmosphere was super chill, and it made for a nice end to the day. --- All in all, it was a day full of good food, cool cafés, and lots of laughter. JB never disappoints! #myitinerary #travel #couplestrip #malaysia #malaysiatrip
