1. Senibong Bay Seafood 浅水湾海番村
Address: Lot120714, Kampung Senibong, Permas Jaya, 81750 Masai, Johor, Malaysia
They only have 1 outlet located at the very southern area of JB and sells good quality food + it is Muslim friendly!
Price here is very reasonable, and quality wise is quite good.
I would recommend this place if you need a place for birthday celebrations, mini family event especially with the elderly family members~
Recommend to make a reservation in advance as well as it might get quite crowded on some days.
We ordered just enough for 5 pax.
Total damage: RM 392 - good price with crab!

2. Gim Cheng Dim Sum Restaurant
Address: 2, Jalan Sagu 36, Taman Daya, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia
This Dim sum place is more for early breakfast because they open at 7am and alot of dishes are sold out by 12pm.
There will be a queue as well so do be prepared to queue for awhile at a certain timing.
We were quite lucky that the queue was short when we arrived at 11am+ , but some dishes were already sold out.
Do note that this place is not air conditioned~
Total Damage for 5 Pax: About RM 100+

3. Pasar Malam Beside NSK Trade City Pandan

Please note that, this Pasar Malam or night market is only opened before the Hari Raya period.
They sell many different kind of food here and is a muslim / malay night market!

It gets very crowded right before Muslims break fast, so non-Muslims might consider going earlier to avoid the rush.

4. Lok Loks
One of the famous supper selection in JB is Lok-lok!
It consist of various steamboat style foods inclusive of meats and vegetables that are served on a skewer which then cooked in boiling water or fried.
If you want to eat it healthy, you can ask them to cook in boiling water, else by default all the food will be fried.
There are many nice lok lok stalls, some of which are just a mobile stall while a few famous ones has their own outlet and branches.
We usually frequent this 2 stalls.
- Fa Ge Lok Lok, this is a mobile stall @ Jln Sri Pelangi 3, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia

5. A&W in Malaysia
You might question why A&W? Isn't this available in Singapore?
Let me explain, the A&W in Malaysia is slightly different from what Singapore's A&W has.
I love the Spicy fried chicken ! A&W in Singapore only sell the non-spicy 2 piece chicken.
It is really spicy and tastes really delicious, will always stop by to have the 2 piece spicy chicken meal in malaysia.
I'm looking forward to the day A&W Singapore introduces spicy options.

This is a famous spot in JB for incredibly fresh, super-affordable seafood.
It is located at the southern part of JB and you can see Singapore opposite.
Recommended to make reservation in advance as well!

7. Ah Koong Restaurant
Address: 266, Jalan Sutera, Taman Sentosa, 80150 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta'zim, Malaysia
This is a yong tau foo restaurant, the most popular item is their hand made fishball.
Their fishballs are made using 100% fresh fish meat with no added starch or preservatives.
Additionally, i like how they marinate the thick bee hoon with the dark soy sauce, it just tastes so good.
Damage: About RM70 For 2 Bowl of Yong tau foo shown in the photo below.

8. Oriental Kopi
This popular Malaysian kopitiam has been expanding very fast and even brought its beloved classics to Singapore, serving up a delightful blend of traditional tastes and cozy vibes. It is one of the must go for Singaporean visiting Malaysia and there is always queue at the shop.
From their famously flaky Signature Egg Tarts and fluffy Polo Buns to their rich, aromatic Nanyang-style coffee brewed with a special blend of Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica beans – there's something to satisfy every craving.
Also, you can buy their 3 in 1 coffee packs and enjoy their coffee from home too!
