Definitely not been active on my blog of late (in terms of food at least, I did quite a bit on badminton at the Olympics) and I have an announcement. I’m going to Dubai pretty soon, so most of my content will mostly be driven around being in Dubai.

I definitely wouldn’t blame you if you haven’t heard of Yellow Bake Day because this is a pretty hidden home baker style shop lot providing yummy cakes and tarts, so this is a pretty hidden gem that I think more people should know about!

I’ve seen this ramen place a few times when I’ve been around Eco Botanic, so I thought it was worth a try one of these days, so I made a trip there for dinner with my girlfriend! Here’s what I thought of the place!

On this week’s food adventure around Eco Botanic, I’m featuring The Gellee Hotdogs & Desserts on the blog! This is a pretty neat and cozy Korean-style dessert and snack cafe perfect to unwind after a long week with their sweet treats. Here’s what I thought of the place.

Today’s blog showcases Sushi Shin JB, a Japanese Omakase style restaurant that prides itself with fresh fish, great service and a cool ambience right from the confines of Johor Bahru! Here’s what I thought of the place.

Today on the blog I’m sharing a coffee place in the Puteri Harbour area - O’Coffee Club Atelier Cafe - which I believe is actually a brand that originated from Singapore.

Kyudon is a new and trendy restaurant along Jalan Dhoby serving up donburi rice bowls, ramen and a reasonably priced Omakase course (cheapest being RM88), here’s what I thought of the place!

I’ve heard a lot of stories about this 18 year old Nasi Lemak place and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to explore and I guess find out a bit more about it. There aren’t too many English references for it, so I thought that putting this up would be helpful to people eating in the area!

Another cafe that probably comes under that ‘hipster cafe’ kind of category and this week it is Rowan & Parsley Food Atelier, a Texas style barbecue smokehouse coming to you from Masai, JB!

With People & Places not operating now, I’ve been looking for a new hipster cafe to recommend to friends and I think that Poise by J is definitely one of them!

As my more regular readers may know, my girlfriend has been really into vegetarian food lately, this is the latest episode of our vegetarian food adventures, this time taking us to Eletime at Sutera JB!

So, my girlfriend has been getting into vegetarian foods so as a result of that, you guys end up with more healthy content from the Bukit Indah area! Today I’m sharing Star Vegetarian Restaurant Bukit Indah.

I would say that the JB food scene doesn’t really comprise of that many genuine Thai restaurants (and no I do not count those Thai Mookata Hot Pot restaurants), so it was a nice change to try Chotiroj, at Taman Perling! Here’s my full review!

As usual, sticking with the general Eco Botanic theme of this blog, today I’m sharing Good Times (好时光) Cafe at Eco Botanic. I would say that this is one of those restaurants with the “atas kopitiam” kind of feel. Classic dishes with a clean, air conditioned space.

I’ve been longing for a good pizza since it’s been a pretty long time since I’ve had one, so I guess that’s why I’m sharing Coppola, the Italian Pizzeria at Horizon Hills!

As usual, I’m always on the hunt with new dessert spots and this was one that I came across online: Taste by Kate. If anything, this is a VERY KL Ice Cream Bar-esque type of cafe (think Inside Scoop if you know of it, because it is really similar in concept).

Bringing yet another Japanese restaurant to you guys today and it is Kirishima Shuzou, a somewhat hidden gem in Johor Bahru for Japanese food lovers!

Today I have something that I’m pretty excited to share with you guys! The best way I would describe it would be that it’s probably the closest experience I’ve had to Haidilao… like ever. And the fact that you can find it in Eco Botanic just makes it fantastic!

I feel like Poke bowl is something I associate more with hipster cafes in KL rather than Johor, so it’s nice seeing a lot more of these types of casual eateries open up in the Educity area.

Finding that perfect restaurant for that first date. Hmm. Challenging, huh? That’s why this is THE LIST that you should read in order to find that perfect spot for a date!
