Finally, after constant postponing for 2 months, I went inside JB with Pam for our much awaited cafe hopping.
I always cannot resist the temptation of not buying Rotiboy whenever I walked pass the stretch. Nothing will ever come close to my favourite buttermilk boy.
So the first shop we went to visit was this traditional bakery shop which sells freshly baked banana cakes.
Everything inside this shop is just so traditional... It is unlike the bakeries we see in Singapore now.
The banana cakes cost RM9 ($3.40) for a box of twelve slices. It was seriously so yummy and flavourful, I wished I bought more boxes back home!
Here's the address of the place in case you're interested to go and buy some banana cakes!
Address: 13 Jalan Tan Hiok Nee
Next stop: Maco Vintage cafe!
We had our lunch here and they were having a set lunch promotion, which were super affordable!
I ordered the chicken bolognese for my main, and had raspberry tea for my drinks. The pasta weren't that fantastic, but for the price that I'm paying, no complaints! For the pasta and the drinks, it cost only RM23 ($8.70).
We also top up an additional RM5 ($1.90) for our hazelnut Mille crepe cake! And it was really yummy!!
I would definitely go back to try the other flavours of the Mille crepe cakes as well as their mains and just to chill. Besides, they have free wifi and it's really cheap! ;)
Address: Jalan Ibrahim, 80000 Johor Bahru (it's right beside the bakery shop!)
While hunting for other cafes, we found several places that were nice spots to take some pictures at! And so... Girls being girls... Or Kar being Kar... We went snapping away!
After walking and covering almost every road, we decided to head back to Chaiwalla & Co for some teas. It's the first container cafe in JB and it's an outdoor seating area.
I ordered the caramel milk tea which cost RM5.80 ($2.20) while Pam ordered Milk tea with pudding.
To be honest, I didn't really like the milk tea... It tasted like it was Thai milk tea with caramel (they do sell Thai milk tea as well!) so it was super sweet and the combination was a little weird. However, I will definitely go back again to try their smoothies!
It was nice just chilling there as well, because it was windy and we weren't really in the sun.
Address: Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, 80000 Johor Bahru (just opposite Maco)
By the way, all these places are walking distance from city square mall! :)
Most of the other cafes were still closed as they only open evening onwards, so I will definitely go back again to visit them! Besides, if you know me... I go into JB pretty often. Haha!
Caught "Night at the museum" at only RM13 ($5). It would have been cheaper if we brought our ICs along though, because Tuesdays are ladies night and tickets would only cost RM8.
But anyway, it was a really nice movie and it allows us to rest our legs after walking for so much.
To end off our day, we had our dinner at this toilet bowl concept restaurant located at the rooftop of City Square mall.
Come to think of it, it's actually quite disturbing to be sitting on a toilet bowl cushioned chair, AND to be eating from a toilet bowl designed bowl.. But it's a pretty interesting concept nevertheless!
I ordered the cheese chicken chop baked rice and it was soooo cheesy, it's yummy!! It was RM17 ($6.50) only.
It was a really enjoyable and relaxing day at JB and I love how the exchange rate is just so good for us now! I mean... $1 to RM2.62?! Hehe.
