2016 Chinese New Year Decor at City Square, Johor Bahru

It is the time of the year again when people are preparing for Chinese New Year which falls on 8th and 9th February 2016. Every year, I will try to visit City Square Johor Bahru to look at the Chinese New Year decor. I feel that their decor is creative and worth a visit.

Also, it is an appropriate time to shop for Chinese New Year goodies. There are numerous stalls selling all kinds of Chinese New Year food and other stuff. Weekdays is a good time to go if you don't like the crowds and the usual jam at Woodland's Customs.

Here are the photos for this year - Year of Monkey.

Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre

There is a new 4 star hotel that is coming up next to KSL Mall and KSL hotel; it is the -
Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre. The hotel website stated that the new hotel will be ready in March 2016. It is located along Jalan Dato' Sulaiman.



It is a 345 rooms hotel with restaurants, gym, infinity pool etc and specialty shops - hopefully the shops sell different products that are in KSL Mall. I took a few photos of the work in progress Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre; while staying in KSL hotel. I noticed that a lot of work still need to done; not too confident that the hotel can commence operation in March 2016.





Anyway, I am looking forward to stay in the new Holiday Villa Johor Bahru City Centre when it is ready.

KFC Meal in Johor Bahru

Seems liked the KFC meal in Johor Bahru is more value for money than its counterpart in Singapore. Even if we disregard the currency strength between the Singapore dollar against Malaysia Ringgit; a two piece chicken meal in Johor Bahru is more worthy.



The size / portion of the chicken served given were bigger in Johor Bahru as against similar 2 piece meal in Singapore. The chicken rice was moist and delicious. I tried the new Wasabi Rice Wrap Meal ( RM8.90) which was good as well.



Anyway, the 2 piece rice plate meal ( RM11.90) is still my favorite meal.
