Johor Bahru Malaysia One Day Trip from Singapore

-
Mrupupup went on a day trip to Johor Bahru from Singapore. Johor Bahru which is in Malaysia is located next door to Singapore and needs one to cross the Causeway to clear immigration. Really enjoyed the day trip to Johor Bahru because things were cheaper due to the favourable exchange rate of the Singapore dollar against the Malaysia currency Ringgit. Do changed your Singapore dollars to Malaysian Ringgit in Singapore for the rate is better at SGP $1 to $2.51 Ringgit (estimated).  Once you cross the Causeway in Johor Bahru and the rate is lower at $2.442 Ringgit. Mrupupup took the bus from Woodlands Bus Interchange - Bus Stop 950 and the bus stop had a lot of people and need to wait at least 20 mins.





Cross the Causeway Bridge in the Bus - do expect traffic jams of an 1 hour as many people want to go to Johor Bahru even on a weekday


Mrupupup spent the whole day at one shopping centre which was near to immigration 'City Square' shopping mall  located at Jalan Wong Ah Fook, which recently had a renovation and there were many shops like MANGO, Cathay cinema, Baskin Robbins Ice Cream, sport shops, Popular book store and many more.

Ate for lunch at the Chicken Rice Store at City Square Shopping Mall, Johor Bahru


Nice Butter Chicken Rice Set ($18 MYR estimated)


Very nice modern shops at City Square Mall with Christmas deco- JB

Watched a movie at Cathay Cinema for $7 MYR per ticket (half price of Singapore movie theatres) and do go on a Wednesday for the $7 MYR ticket price. The Cathay cinema located at level 5 was clean and modern with decent sound system.


Tea break at Old Town Coffee City Square Mall- JB for prawns noodles, coffee, cold drink and kaya bread






Dinner at Kenny Rogers- City Square Mall - about $24 MYR for a meal of half chicken




Nice Kenny Rogers Muffin

Bought Bread and Pastries from a shop named Lavender- Just missed out on their Harajuku Bread.





We had Baskins Robbins Ice Cream for $7.50 MYR each (two scoops per cone!). Had two cones!
Do wear 'pink' accessories and you get a better ice cream deal on Wednesdays!


Cheesecake and Chocolate flavours

Caramel and Royale Chocolate scoops!


Very nice 1 day trip to Johor Bahru and Mrupupup would be going again!
