🇲🇾Merry Fiery Christmas 🎄 For Lala Hotpot Lovers at Johor Bahru
🇲🇾𝑴𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑭𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔! 🎄🔥
.
I stumbled upon 5PM Lalapot 五点啦啦煲 in Johor Bahru and decided to give it a try. I asked if single diner is welcomed🤣, and that's how it got me in, I went for their one-pax option—and wow! The portion size is impressive, with the same soup pot size and a generous 500g of clams. It’s incredibly satisfying, especially when I added extra ingredients to the mix.
.
For just RM25, I got a simple yet hearty single-person pot. For a Singaporean, that’s a steal—it’s basically food court prices back home, but with an entire pot of lala here in JB!
.
The soup itself is rich and wonderfully fragrant. But the real surprise? The “fire show” that comes with the meal! I didn’t expect it until some friendly aunties at the next table warned me to “run and escape from the table” when it starts. Their dramatic advice had me laughing, and the whole experience felt so unique and fun.
.
Definitely a memorable meal worth trying!

Take a weekend trip to a luxurious hotel!
Amari hotel in Johor Bahru is a very popular accommodation that Singaporeans like to stay at! If you are looking for a short weekend getaway, this 5-star hotel is a good and affordable option.
It has all the facilities you need within the property itself, like the swimming pool, gym, spa and even a club lounge. However, the staff are not as friendly but if you decide not to interact with them, you will probably have a good experience!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was such a relaxing getaway weekend stay
Located near the checkpoint between Johor Bahru and Singapore, this hotel is indeed a great place to stay for a chill weekend trip! It has many room categories to choose from. For a small top-up fee, you can get to enjoy the executive club lounge amenities.
Nearby, there are many small shops and restaurants you can eat at so there is definitely variety. All in all, a good location for an accommodation but service from the staff can be improved.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🇲🇾 Many wellness spa in JB
#spas #100WaysOfTravel
I enjoy Indonesian and Thai massage style and going to Johor Bahru for this spa service is value for money. There are many options for me at Johor Bahru. This Javanese massage and spa place has many branches in Johor Bahru. Even inside at City Square also has 2 branches. It is designed to have dim lighting and some of their massage rooms do not have door, only curtain for privacy. They have jacuzzi spa too but it is subject to availability because there is only 1 jacuzzi available. If you are a member, you get instant discount for services each time. It is also hard to take photos inside because of the dim lighting. Make sure you call or message them in advance to make an appointment. If they are full then you can consider the Thai massage place too.

I can get quality spa time inside Paradigm mall at Johor Bahru. Over here there are 2 spa places and both are offering Thai style massage.

🇲🇾Must Visit -Newly open massage centre in JB!
#massage
Located conveniently near the CIQ in Johor Bahru, The Harrod Wellness presents a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation for both locals and travelers. This newly opened massage spot quickly stands out with its exceptional service and serene ambiance, offering a range of therapies designed to soothe and revitalize.
During my visit, I opted for a two-hour session that included one hour of foot reflexology followed by one hour of deep tissue dry massage. The experience was nothing short of transformative. The foot reflexology began the session on a relaxing note, with skilled therapists applying precise pressure to various points on the feet, each correlating to different body parts. The technique not only eased tension but also promoted a sense of overall well-being.
Transitioning to the deep tissue dry massage, the therapist expertly targeted deeper layers of muscle tissue. This massage was particularly effective in releasing chronic muscle tension, enhancing circulation, and fostering muscle recovery. The pressure was firm yet comfortable, skillfully adjusted to my feedback and tolerance levels, ensuring a deeply therapeutic experience.
The ambiance of The Harrod Wellness added to the overall tranquility of the experience. The space is designed to evoke calm, with soft lighting, soothing music, and a clean, inviting interior that helps guests feel completely at ease from the moment they enter.
Every detail at The Harrod Wellness, from the welcoming reception to the attentive care during the treatments, was handled with professionalism and grace. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that the experience was relaxing and satisfying, reflecting their commitment to quality service and customer care.
