Taking a short drive up the causeway through Woodlands Checkpoint to Johor Bahru on a weekday is the best time during the week.
We would normally go there either on Mondays, Tuesday or Thursdays to avoid the peak period crowds. Shopping there is cheap at KSL City Mall. Last checked there's a new Tesco supermarket there, I believe that opened this month of July 2011.
Another one of our hang out places would be Jusco which is a drive further up north. about 20 mins from the customs checkpoint at JB. It's after the carrefour.
I've been to these 2 malls to catch movies and I would say that the quality of screening is pretty good. Considering the price that we pay is in RM ringgit.
I would highly recommend these 2 places if you want cheap shopping and cheap food but near to home for a super short break away from the city life in Singapore.
I'm heading over tonight to pump petrol and have dinner at our favourite LOK LOK stall in JB at along Jalan Keris. They have the best I've ever had in Malaysia till date. The deep fried pig's organs on skewers is the best, especially the pig's stomach is always super juicy. Also the chicken kidneys are a chewy bite.
I would normally order a main meal, which is Dry Lao Shu Fern in black sauce with a big bowl of soup from the hawker shop opposite.
If anyone has other recommendations especially for food in JB, please do leave your comments. I would love to know!
Cheers!
