Discover fun-filled activities, trendy cafes and bargain shopping in SG’s neighbouring state across the causeway.

Johor’s popularity stems from its diversity in ethnicity, language and culture, as well as its tropical rainforests. Today, it has a unique range of local cuisine, historical and cultural attractions, plus a thriving cafe scene. Plan ahead, though, as several activities featured here are found further away from the city centre.

1 Salahuddin Bakery

Start your day with some authentic, local pastries at one of the oldest bakeries in JB. Established in 1936, this traditional bakery is known for freshly baked confections – displayed in old-school metal trays – which are not only full of flavour, but extremely affordable as well. Try its karipap kentang, a triangular curry potato puff ($0.50 each), a favourite amongst locals and tourists. (26 Jln Dhoby, 80000, Johor Bahru)
