🇲🇾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!

Hua Mui is now more than just chicken chop & kaya toast! 🇲🇾
I absolutely love their original Hainanese chicken chop—crispy, well-marinated, and served with slaw, wedges, and a delicious brown mushroom sauce. Don’t miss their new Hainanese satay, exclusively at their Austin branch!

The Kluang Days, my favourite cafe in Kluang, Johor.
#favouritecafe#coffee#cakes#johor
The Kluang Days is my favourite cafe housed in a beautiful refurbished double story heritage shophouse which located in📍54, Jalan Lambak, Kampung Masjid Lama, 86000 Kluang, Johor.
This cafe is absolutely a perfect spot to unwind
with a cup of coffee, or even a piece of cake.
Their baristas and waitresses were friendly and accommodating. Service was impressively fast even with a decent number of customers. I really love their minimalist yet chic design, making a relaxing and comfy ambiance.
⏩ My favourite baverages are their signature Filter Coffee Costa Rica, Classic White Coffee, Cappuccino and Ajisai Matcha Latte. The Filter Coffee Costa Rica ☕ is flavourful and a bit strong for some, but suited my taste perfectly. The Matcha Latte🍵is also a standout.
⏩ My favourite cakes are Coffee Burnt Cheese Cake, Leicha Chiffon, Gold Sesame Cheesecake, Lemon Earl Grey Cake and Fresh Fruity Tart. 🍰 All the cakes have a smooth, soft, and velvety texture,
plus well-balanced flavours that harmonize together. Apart of that, the cafe offers a few kind of pasta and fried rice too.
⏩ Price wise is a bit higer but worth it, RM20 -
RM40 per pax. Overall rated: 4.9/5.
🕰️ Business Hours: Open daily from 11am - 10pm, Closed on Monday & Tuesday..

A challenging misson: my maiden hike to the Mount Ophir 🌿
#hikingtrails#100waysoftravel#nationalpark#johor
Mount Ophir or better known as Gunung Ledang is a popular hiking spot which nestled in Taman Negara Gunung Ledang, Tangkak District, Johor, Malaysia.
This was my first time to hike Mount Ophir and quite a tough mission. Ensure to spend at least 8 hours to hike this highest mountain in Johor(stands 1276m). The Lagenda trail to the peak is pretty challenging, the trail was well equipped with sturdy ladders and ropes, reflectors and signboards/maps. Over 30 ladders to climb, and 2 rock scaling to reach the peak.
There are 2 bathing places, one is Kolam Mahligai, then go up a little and there is a beautiful and peaceful waterfall is Air Terjun Sungai Air Putih. Truly enjoy the breathtaking scenery and cooling fresh air on the peak. Overall it was an exciting and memorable experience!
🌿 Minimum of 4 pax to register for a guide, Daytrip Hiking: RM 122, Sunrise Pursuite: RM 221 and Summit Attack: RM 152 for Malaysian. The office staffs are friendly and the guides is accommodating & knowledgeable.

This cozy spot offers a tempting selection of pastries and has a modern industrial French vibe that creates a relaxed atmosphere.

While everything was tasty, the chicken was a bit too spicy for us. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and we can’t wait to go back!

Chinese food at Ding Ming Xiang @Pelangi
Hello, everyone. Today, I have come to rate this restaurant.
Each category will be a full of 5 points.
Let's start with
The desk, floor and bathroom in the shop are pretty clean 4.8/5.
The food tastes exactly as it is, but it's not so delicious that it's supposed to come 4/5.
The quantity is enough to make the price, and the food is definitely full 5/5.
For this price, if you are going to be alone, I suggest you find 3-4 friends divided by each other. #มาเลเซีย #Malaysia #Johor #Chinese #food #อาหารจีน #มากับเพื่อน

Japanese Fair with pretty insta-worthy props
I went to a Japanese fair that was a three day event and it was held at Eco Botanic, more on the western part of Johor side.
Sometimes, this area also held different theme for different events and this time is Japanese theme where they had make effort to even have some sakura looking tree to make the place really insta-worthy to take a lot of photos. It was warm when we were there since it is outdoor but it did not dampen our mood.
There is a lot of great Japanese influence foodies here as well as local Malaysian food as well.

There is also a rest area outside the play area for parents who do not wish to enter the playground.
