So, what is raindrop cake? It is a giant raindrop dessert which is also known as mizu shingen mochi. Mizu Shingen mochi is a Japanese cult dessert made from mineral water and gelatine or agar and served with roasted soybean flour and sugar cane syrup. I came across Yokosuka Curry House located at City Square Mall, Johor Bahru that offers this dessert. I have visited twice within a month. First time was alone and second time with a friend. With RM5.90 ~ S$2.00 , I would say give it a try! I wonder when Singapore is going to launch this soon. Read More

So, it’s the Ramadan month again! Thanks to Care Luxury Hotels & Resorts, I get to be one of the few that attended the cocktail lunch event sometime back at Hotel Granada.

Bonbon Bakery Café located at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru is the latest café addition since 1 month ago. The café is located few steps away from Brew Orchestra.

Whenever weekend comes, you will see many are going across the JB causeway for shopping and eating. Youngsters will go for Café hopping in Johor Bahru. My recent visit café visit is to Union Fashion Bar located at Taman Sutera area. There are busses going to Taman Sutera if you are travelling from second link. So, fret not, it is still accessible even without driving. Union Fashion Bar (UFB) was opened last year and one of the co-owner, Mr Yap Chern Chee was a former Chef de Partie at Bakerzin Singapore since 2000. Mr Yap was under Chef Daniel Tay (the world Cup Pastry Chef 2001) previously and he finally realized his dream into venturing his own F&B business. Read More

Oh well, Uncle Pou Wok used to be my family favourite dinner place but nowadays we seldom visit them. The reason is because the waiting time during dinner hour can be very long. Their business is booming and they have opened several branches across Johor Bahru including Taman Mount Austin, Taman Impiana Emas, Bukit Indah and Permas Jaya. I brought my foodies friends to the branch at Taman Impiana Emas for dinner. Read More

Kah Kah Loke Restaurant has been in Johor Bahru town for years and I have been visiting the place with different group of friends. Since it is the same restaurant, I did not blog every-time because the dishes I ordered were almost the same dishes.

It was ages ago so I decided to post my latest again. Read More

I had an “amazing race” on Good Friday where we walked across the causeway and managed to clear JB immigration by 8.45am.

The noodle shop usually opens at 12noon but they opened 30minutes earlier that day. We were in luck! Read More

My dad loves to explore new places all the time. He recently recommended Hung Kitchen located at Kampung Ungku Mohsin to the family. But my mum is aware the existence of this place as this is one of her lunch options when her company used to be at the area. Basically, the place has been operating for years and people start noticing this place due to their affordable pricing. Hung Kitchen is hidden in one of the houses along the street. Despite the location, there are lunch crowds flowing in during weekdays. Read More
