Day trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia by Public Transport

Despite being so near to Johor Bahru, hubby and I had never venture there together before, firstly because of the fear of weekend crowds, and secondly, we always thought that we would need a car to travel within JB. However, for some unknown reasons, people around us had been talking about JB recently, and encouraging us to go on a weekday. So when Ms. K suggested going to JB together via public transport and exploring the area within walking distance of City Square, we readily agreed!

Here was our day trip itinerary:

• Brunch at Faculty of Caffeine
• Lunch at Restoran Ya Wang 鸭皇药材烧腊大王
• Tea break at Flowers in the Window
• Some shopping within City Square (J3-12A, 106 – 108, Jalan Wong Ah Fook, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia)
• Banana cake shopping at Hiap Choo Bakery located at 13, Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia
