Where to eat in JB?

📍Mount Austin area

☕️ Morihana Pastry 森花手工烘焙

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Specially made a trip up north to Eco Spring to check out this aesthetic cafe! We ordered the refreshing watermelon punch and peach splash. Though as asians.. the drinks came off a bit too sweet for our liking (RM12 each), the Fuji Matcha tart (RM20) was a nice surprise - wonderful pairing of the matcha mousse and caramel nuts! Worth going if you haven’t been to the area!

🍲 BaJiu Men Hotpot

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is by far the BEST hotpot I had in JB. Spoilt with choices, we picked the Two-flavour hotpot - Niu You Spicy soup 🥵 and Ginseng Chicken Soup 🤤 (RM36)

Ngl I came here for the princess beef (beef slices wrapped on a doll) just for the gram but the premium pork belly and black pork were the highlight!!

Definitely coming back again! Not a budget place but super YUMZ!

📍Johor Checkpoint area

☕️ Principle Cafe

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Not a place for coffee - Americano (RM11) was rather bland and the Latte (RM13) was too milky.. BUT come for the FOOD

Highly recommend the Beef up the Bun (RM26) - the mala mayo added a nice kick and GCMB (RM26) with a generous scoop of diced mushrooms 😋 we also ordered the chicken bowl (honey mustard glaze) RM20.9 which was nice but not as special

Ended the trip with a quick bite at Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks. The taste is pretty consistent since it’s a franchise store 🥳
