2017 Komtar JBCC Johor Bahru

Walked to Komtar JBCC Mall and saw beautiful decor for Hari Raya at the atrium. Lots of items are on sale - clothes, food, Hari Raya cookies etc. Surprisingly there were many shoppers here even on a Tuesday afternoon; perhaps due to the Singapore school holidays.

Jalan Wong Ah Fook Johor Bahru 2017

Took some photos of the road Jalan Wong Ah Fook near City Square Johor Bahru.  Even since the revamp of the road there, there is a wide pedestrian walkway next to the canal. People can now walk peacefully without the need to look out for vehicles. Hopefully, there will be trees planted next to the pedestrian walkway to provide shade during the hot sunny afternoon.

However, crossing the road is still a challenge. As the traffic at Jalan Wong Ah Fook is constantly heavy, there is no pedestrian crossing or overhead bridge around City Square & Komtar JBCC mall area. The norm is seems is for pedestrian to dash across the road when it seems fit to do so. This method of crossing the road is dangerous but it works for most able people. However for senior citizens, crossing the road at Jalan Ah Fook is a real challenge. Perhaps the authorities can built an overhead bridge facing City Square/ Komtar JBCC mall to the opposite of  the canal.

Photos Surrounding Perling Mall, Johor Bahru

Below are photos of area that surrounds Perling Mall in Johor Bahru. This area seems to have relaxed and easy going atmosphere. There are many old shops, eating outlets and even a day wet market; where you can get fresh vegetables, seafood and meat.

Econ Nursing home is located opposite Perling Mall. The new Amerin Hotel is also opposite Perling Mall. And next to the mall itself is the CW3 bus terminal. The CW3 bus goes to Bukit Indah and Singapore. There is also a KFC outlet behind Amerin Hotel. This is one of the most spacious KFC outlet I have ever seen. There is also a school nearby - SJK ( C) Pei Hwa.

Streets of Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru

Here are some photos of Permas Jaya which I took while waiting along the streets. There seems to be lots of food outlets, car repairs/serving workshops and massage health centers here. I started my walk from Renaissance Hotel and slowly walking my way to MacDonald's; and walking around the small streets. You can literally covered the whole area in an hour.

If you are going to Aeon Mall, head down to MacDonald's and then walk to the back of the building where you can see busy main road. Cross the overhead bridge and you will reach the Aeon Mall's big car park. The Aeon Mall in Permas Jaya is a older, single storey mall. There is a supermarket, food court, lots of F&B outlets but limited fashion stores.

Meal at Restoran Sayed near Perling Mall, Johor Bahru

Took a quick light meal with my friend in the afternoon at coffee shop called Restoran Sayed near Perling Mall. To locate this Indian coffee shop, go to the mall main entrance with Secret Recipe on your left. So with the door of the main entrance of the mall behind your back and Secret Recipe cafe on your left, just walk left on a straight minor road. Restoran Sayed is just a five minutes walking distance from the mall.

The food that I ate may not be the best that I have tasted in Johor Bahru. But it was good for a quick meal and the prices were economical too. There are a wide variety of Indian food that you can choose; and a equally big variety of cold/hot drinks as well. Service was fast and this Indian coffee shop seems to be busy with customers flowing in.
