Johor Bahru Old Town is home to many old and new cafes offering a wide range of foodie experiences to visitors. I stayed at Z Hotel in Old Town City Center in July 2022 and explored the area extensively. This historical part of the town has museums, Hindu Temples and Sikh Gurdwaras, which make it the centre of activity all throughout the week. If you are looking for some interesting places to visit Johor Bahru, JB Old Town must be on your list for this year. 

Food in Asia is best known for its uniqueness and exquisiteness in taste. I have travelled extensively across Malaysia over the period of the last twenty years and visited some of the best cities popular for food. I came across Nyonya food also known as Peranakan food which is quite a popular form of cooking in Penang as well as in Melaka. Nyonya food captures the essence of the rich culinary history of Malaysia.

Precious Old China Restaurant was interesting during my first visit to KL Central Market some ten years ago. I was looking for a quick lunch and walked up to the food court on the first floor in the Central Market (Pasar Seni) and was attracted by neon light signage and some lunch special offers posted at the entrance. Previously I had tried some Nyonya restaurants in Penang and fell in love with the curries and spicy ingredients of Nyonya dishes.

Bukit Bintang is the heart of tourist activities in Kuala Lumpur with a number of classy bars, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs. The popular food street Jalan Alor is also located in Bukit Bintang which attracts hundreds of tourists and foodies looking for some unique foodie adventures with Malay food. I visited Bijan in 2014 for the first time celebrating a get-together with friends.
