#springitinerary #malaysiatrulyasia #seaside #johor Before the sun fully wakes, Pantai Tanjung Balau hums like an ancient poem whispered by the sea. Located on Johor’s eastern coast, this quiet beach isn’t just a destination—it’s a feeling. I arrived before the crowds, when the tide was low and the sky brushed soft pinks against the horizon. The old wooden jetty stretched into the sea like a hand reaching toward memory. Waves curled gently against the sand, and the salty breeze carried the scent of salt and time. There’s something meditative here. Local fishermen cast their nets in near silence. Families strolled barefoot, collecting shells as if gathering moments. The nearby Fishermen Museum, just steps from the shore, reminds you this place is rooted in heritage—real lives shaped by the sea. Pantai Tanjung Balau isn’t flashy or loud. It’s the kind of place where you pause without meaning to, just to listen. To the wind. To the waves. To yourself. And that, I think, is what makes it unforgettable—not just the view, but the stillness it leaves behind.

#springitinerary #malaysiatrulyasia #johor #muralart You wouldn’t expect a mural paradise tucked between a kopitiam and a motorcycle repair shop—but that’s Kelapa Sawit’s charm. After devouring Man Ting Fang’s legendary Hainanese chicken chop (crispy edges, gravy just sweet enough), I wandered into this 100-meter gallery of whimsy. Unlike Kluang’s sprawling murals, every step here delivers a new surprise: a hyper-realistic sparrow perched on a “broken” brick wall, a trompe-l’oeil vintage bicycle that made me double-take, and my favorite—a nostalgic rendering of a 1970s Indian barber shop, complete with fading “Sulu” hair tonic advertisements. The narrow lane forces intimacy; you’ll find yourself inches from art that would be lost on wider streets. Pro tip: Come weekdays at 2 PM when shadows cast depth on the 3D murals, and the lone cendol stall still has pulut toppings left.

Taking advantage of the Easter long weekend, I went on a short trip to the western coast of Johor. On the second afternoon, I visited a seaside café built on stilts above the water. The moment I stepped through the side entrance, the large blue sky visible through several floor-to-ceiling windows instantly brought back memories of Okinawa’s Kouri Island. The entire café, from its surroundings to its decor, exuded a vacation vibe. I ordered two drinks and paired them with a pu-erh tea tiramisu. Sitting there, gazing at the endless blue sky and sea, I spent a leisurely afternoon wrapping up the long weekend. #seasidecafe #malaysia #cafe #johor

I know there are many Airbnb flats near ksl and I’ve tried many, but this time I decided to switch things up by trying a new hotel called Grand Paragon near KSL. Honestly it was quiet but the room was really comfortable and spacious. FREE BREAKFAST included with your stay so you don’t have to top up! The breakfast spread was astonishing for the price I paid. There was traditional Malay food & western food for your preference It was a Monday so I got to walk through the pasar malam night market on my way back to the hotel. 😍 WHY ARE WE SLEEPING ON THIS #travel #staycation #hotel #malaysia #johor #underrated #underrated #freebreakfast

🇲🇾If you’re craving a break from city life, Rainforest Treehouse Café is the perfect retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery, fresh air, and the soothing sounds of nature, it’s a great place to unwind, enjoy good food, and take in the scenic views. . Beyond the café, there’s a hidden charm to this place. We passed by a traditional bakery with the warm scent of freshly baked bread, a honey stall, and even learned about a charity-run school on the hilltop (not open to the public). If you’re up for an adventure, nearby Gunung Pulai Waterfall is worth a visit—just bring extra clothes if you plan to get wet! Also, note that disposable plastic bottles aren’t allowed past the entrance. . Getting here isn’t the easiest—Grab rides can be hard to secure. We waited for nearly an hour before calling a backup transport option, so driving yourself is the best choice. . If you love nature, good vibes, and a little adventure, this place is worth the trip. 🌿💚 Would you visit a hidden café like this?

#malaysiatrip This is a surprised find on our way to Johor. The portion of each dish was very generous. I like how the sauce was extremely flavorful and thick enough. The meat was tender as well! There are also multiple side dishes including pig ear, braised tofu and eggs 🥚 to complement the main dish! #travel #johor

🇲🇾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! . #jblala #jblalapot #jbrestaurant #jbfood #jbfun #johor #johorbahru #sgtojb #jbhotpot #5pmlalapotmalaysia #5pmlalapot

My friend and I tried the popular Pistachio Berry Cromboloni, which was amazing, along with a fresh sourdough grilled smoked salmon sandwich and crispy Korean fried chicken. 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!
