Welcome to JB town.

I believe many Singaporeans are familiar with this restaurant that famous for their paper wrapped chicken.

Although we came on Tuesday night but surprisingly there’s a queue with the locals during dinner peak time.

Thankfully the queue went fast and they actually served their dishes pretty fast also.

Love the herbal taste of their paper wrapped chicken. Soft and tender.

Housed in this cosy home setting, Sweet Blossom Coffee Roasters is well-known among the locals and Singaporean for their hand brew coffee.

They only serve drink here as their specialty and they are very serious with it. They sourced their coffee bean and introduced different sources around the world to share with everyone.

For those who are fan of this wanton noodles place at the city centre of JB may realised their original spot at the corner shop has been closed down. So in case you don’t know, they actually moved out from this place to another place 10 mins ride away.

They are now located a Taman Sentosa continue to serve their signature wanton noodles. Available in both white and black version, which basically mean whether you want it to go with the dark sauce or not.

The white version is simple yet still tasty without the dark sauce. And I would say their char siew is the main highlight from the bowl, so fragrant and crispy. Wanton pieces are separated in the soup bowl.

As with any great Korean meal, we were treated to free-flow banchan, including garden salad, marinated mushrooms, and cucumber pickled in kimchi sauce. These sides added a nice balance to the rich main dishes, ensuring we left with full bellies.

A perfect side to complement any Korean dish, this Korean steamed egg was fluffy, savoury, and absolutely tastisfying. It was served piping hot, and I found myself hoo-haa-ing my way through every bite while enjoying the burst of flavour. Just be careful not to scrape the bottom or side too much, as the prolonged heat does leave a slight char, which could add a bit of a burnt taste.

This bowl of goodness is pure comfort. A whole young chicken simmered with ginseng and rice, all packed into a rich, steaming, and nourishing soup. The chicken was so tender that it literally disintegrated, bones and all, when we bit into it. The texture of the meat was smooth and chewy, while the broth was rich, thick, and full of natural chicken essence. The natural oils from the chicken added a tastisfying richness to the soup. At the bottom, soft rice made the dish surprisingly filling, but if you’re extra hungry, you can always add a bowl of White Rice (RM 5).

My friend had a serious craving for Samgye-tang (Korean Ginseng Chicken Soup), and we weren’t sure where to go. A quick Google search led us to Palsaik Korean BBQ at Mid Valley Southkey, Johor Bahru, and that’s how we ended up here!

Sam Gye Tang (RM 58)

(RM 32.90) (Smoked Salmon) consisted of sous vide egg and English muffin. I felt that sous vide egg was quite cooked well tbh. Smoked salmon was quite fresh and also got no bad smell tbh.

Sangria Punch

(RM 20) it's fruit based tea but I felt that its not that bad tbh. Its quite sweet aftertaste for tea brew.

Breakfast Platter

(RM36.90) (Chicken Ham) consisted of scrambled egg, mixed mushroom, grilled tomato, chicken sausage, mixed bean & museli toast. I come for this breakfast set because I saw a lot of people ordered based on google review beside soft shell crab. I felt that it was quite filling for me. The scrambled egg was quite milky and creamy w a bit of pepper on top.

To drink, I had a Salt Cola (RM 3.90), a locally-made beverage produced in Malaysia. This SaltCola by KrõBe is a carbonated drink with Himalayan salt. It’s refreshingly different. Low in sugar, zero cholesterol, with less carbonation and claims to help reduce body heat and maintain fluid balance. It had a nice fizzy-salty taste, a perfect quencher after the burger, and it reminded me of adding salt to cola back at McD.

Is this the best burger joint in Johor Bahru?

Woodfire first launched in Johor Bahru in 2017 and has rapidly expanded across Malaysia in just a few years. Known for its succulent gourmet burgers and sides, Woodfire aims to offer a satisfying experience that’s worth every penny.

I tried the Mushroom Burger (RM 22.90), which features a generous serving of shiitake mushrooms, a large crispy hash brown, fresh lettuce, a hefty amount of Woodfire's secret sauce, and your choice of a beef or chicken patty, all sandwiched between a buttery toasted sesame bun. The juicy, earthy shiitake mushrooms were tender and soaked up the flavours beautifully. The hash brown was hot and freshly fried, adding a savoury crispiness. I chose the beef patty, which was massive, juicy, and filling. The Woodfire sauce was generously slathered on, making the burger both visually and flavourfully appealing.

For those wondering about vegetarian options, Woodfire offers a vegetarian burger, so your veggie-loving friends won’t feel left out when dining here.

Walking past the famous banana cake shop in JB and you would also find another bakery just right beside it that usually full house on weekends.

Dona Bakehouse is an artisan bakery cafe, serving brunch menu if you able to dine-in here. Otherwise, you can grab some of their pastries back home like me.

Lost of pastries available on shelf display and I have chosen their Pistachio Rose Croissant & Vanilla Fran.

The Pistachio Rose Croissant is overwhelmed with the sweetness pistachio frangipanni and rose syrup in between, topped with crushed pistachio.

As for vanilla fran, it made with homemade pastry cream on croissant tart shell.
