Johor Bahru

To get away from the weekend monotony, Em-J had this idea to spend it at Johor Bahru, Malaysia. I don't really mind travelling there since it's less than a half hour away from where we're staying. I met up with him and Danny who were both coming from Segamat and we were both surprised that we were wearing the same shirt.



After circling City Square for a bit, we hailed a cab and asked the driver to take us to the nearest Jusco since I couldn't remember the exact branch. We ended up in a wrong one being that it was quite small with just a few places to eat at.

We asked around and we were told that the one that we're looking for is Jusco Tebrau.

A trip to JB wouldn't be complete without having lunch at Nando's. They have a completely new menu and I felt that the prices aren't as cheap as before. It's almost the same as that of here in Singapore.



The mall is quite nice, I thought of Powerplant while we were having lunch looking at the people passing by.



We also chanced upon the coolest candy shop ever, Country's Tid-Bits and Candies Cottage.











What sets this apart from the usual candy shops more than just the great variety is that you're free to try everything! Yes, FREE!!! We sampled the sweets all to our hearts content. We love it!!! We ended up buying two big bags of sweets even though we've already had more than our fair share.

With nothing else to do, we decided to watch a movie since they are already showing The Woman in Black, a week earlier than in Singapore.



After the movie at 10PM, we received another pleasant surprise when we found out that the mall is still open giving us a little more time to look around and do a little bit of grocery shopping. I also saw this cool little angry bird cake.



And I got talked into buying this Cherry drink.



Before heading to Singapore the next day, we had lunch at Stone Grill. Great food at very affordable prices.
