Restaurant Singgah Selalu
Located across the road from Danga Bay, it has quite a fair bit of food selections on its menu. Loud musics and great ambiance.


Restoran ZZ. 20 Jalan Sungei Chat (off Jalan Mahmoodiah, behind Sultanah Aminah Hospital), tel. +60-7224-0417.
Popular low-key Malay eatery with a daily-changing buffet, particularly known for their Johor-style laksa and ikan bakar (grilled fish), two can eat until stuffed for RM10. Open daily for breakfast and lunch only. Located a fair distance from the center, so take a taxi.


Nasi Lemak Senibong Located in Kampung Senibong.
It has been serving one of the best Nasi Lemak in Johor Bahru. Costing RM4 per plate, it costs of coconut flavoured rice, chicken (comes in three flavours), an egg and sambal (traditional malay chili sauce).


New Hong Kong Restaurant, Located at 69-A Jalan Ibrahim Sultan.
It was established in 1954. Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants in Johor Bahru. Their hot yam paste dessert is highly recommended, albeit a little steep (RM7 per bowl). Their appetizer (RM 2.60), a cucumber dish in sauce, is also very good. Eating there starts off with a RM 2.60 charge for the appetizer, RM2 for peanuts, RM 1.50/pax for tea and RM 1/pax for towels.


Go and try. Worth the money spent.
