Johor Trip May 2012

Oh well, Johor has been my second home ever since my dad starts working here. It's great experience to have two homes to stay in :D I will visit Johor at least once a year, especially during holidays. I love staying here, right in my dad's condo with the bird's eye view of Johor and to enjoy the cool breezy air early in the morning and at night.
* I know it was kinda late for me to update my blog on this now but there are lots I will like to share on.

八哩半大家发鸭肉

 We came across this shop in a food guide book and my dad said he went to that place before so we decided to give it a try. It was well known as a old shop under the shady canopy of the tree, and most importantly their braised duck is the most popular dish.

It took us quite some time to get our way to the shop although dad said he knew his way ( my typical daddy).

We ordered :
braised duck, braised pork offal ( I will never eat this though my mum loves it ), braised egg ( my favourite braised dish ), pickled cabbage
*The meal comes along with a big bowl of herbal soup for you share. You can also opt for steamed rice or hor fun in soup

Danga Bay, Johor Bahru
Danga Bay has a pretty nice view of the sea. The day when I visited it was cloudy and the chilly wind was brushing against my face. If you can swim across the sea, you can reach Singapore. HAHA

At night, there's a fun fare next to it but the price is quite expensive compared to those normal fun fare you can find in small town. However, you can try taking a walk there after dinner :)


















Johor Premium Outlet (JPO)
For me, JPO dooesn't worth going with all the branded stuff. The only shops I love are Padini, Vincci and Cotton On :) Mind you that Vincci is selling really outdated and filthy accessories now although they are giving 70% discount. I was so disappointed on my last visit few days back.





Crepe2U
 Crepe2U has set up their stall at many shopping malls in Johor like Sutera Mall and JB City Square. Their crepes are fairly reasonable and worth trying with their wide range of sweet or savory crepes.
