What does Gutenberg change in WordPress
The sole purpose of the Gutenberg editor is to provide an alternative to the current open text editor, not to mention the difficult-to-remember shortcodes, with an agile and visual user interface (UI). So, unlike the current WordPress editor, you don’t have to:
Import images, multimedia and approved files from the media library or add HTML shortcodes;
Copy and paste links for embeds;
Write shortcodes for specialized assets of different plugins;
Create featured images to be added at the top of a post or page;
In short, Gutenberg doesn’t change how WordPress functions. It does, however, change the way website owners (or creators) interact with it. Instead of a whole lot of shortcodes and meta boxes, you will be using simple blocks.
There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for.

If staying in Singapore for a weekend getaway no longer interests you, it’s time to head to Johor Bahru. The vibrant multicultural city that shares its borders with Singapore has evolved tremendously as a strong contender to the charming appeal of historic cities like Penang and Melaka.

Don’t get us wrong; JB is not just about the Johor Premium Outlets, Legoland or Hello Kitty Town. Beyond its commercial development lies a rustic charm that is unique to the state capital. Much of the attractions and history of Johor Bahru can be found in the southernmost part of JB, closest to the Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine Complex (CQI) and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel JB. One of the most important areas to visit is Jalan Trus where you will see the multicultural nature of Johor Bahru that the street epitomises. Visit the Johor Chinese Ancient Temple, Gurdwara Sikh Temple and the Arulmigu Rajamariamman Devasthanam Temple which are all located along the same road. With all the key attractions being in Johor Bahru City, park yourself strategically here to enjoy the best of old and new JB.
Things to do in Johor Bahru

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Johor Bahru is one of the first premium hotels to open in JB in 2014. It is only an 11-minute walk away from JB Sentral train station, making it a great choice for travellers who want to be within the city centre and for visitors from across the Causeway. The four-star property boasts a majestic grand lobby with The Food Store on the side selling hot beverages, juices, small bites and some souvenirs. Also on the ground floor is Makan Kitchen where you can find an eclectic mix of local cuisines prepared in live and interactive kitchens. This all-day dining is the best place to enjoy Johor’s famous kacang pool and roti arab (a bean and beef mince stew also known as foul medammas, served with toasted thick white toast with ghee).

Spend your evening at the poolside area outside Tosca, the hotel’s Italian Trattoria. Enjoy the stunning views overlooking the Straits of Johor with a glass of white wine and freshly-made pizzas if you’re feeling peckish before dinner. If you’re in the mood to dine in, start at the cheese room for an assortment of cheeses including a fondue version served alongside nuts, dried fruits and crackers.

There are 333 guestrooms including 22 apartment-style suites for larger families and groups. The rooms are designed in a contemporary style decked in warm neutral hues as well as a luxuriously comfortable bed to boot. Upon check-in, you’ll be welcomed with a warm chocolate chip cookie with your name on it – a tradition at all DoubleTree hotels.
Head over to the Heritage Zone

Go ahead and ask any local how they entertain visitors and the answer will centre around food. There are plenty of small restaurants and hipster cafes around the Chinese Heritage Area (Jalan Tan Hiok Nee) offering everything from coffee and cakes to a plethora of street food.
Also nearby is Restoran Hua Mui where you can find the best Hainanese chicken chop JB has to offer. Leave some space for the famous banana cake from the century-old Hiap Joo Bakeryand freshly-made bread and pastries from Salahuddin Bakery. While you’re at it, buy some extras as gifts or for snacking on the way home.

Traditionalists will enjoy local Chinese and Malay food at 56-year-old Restoran Kin Hua with its selection of mee rebus, nasi lemak, roti bakar, Yong tau foo and more. A must-try at this halal restaurant is the hand-pulled Hainanese coffee, made by the second-generation Kopitiam owner.

JB’s night scene doesn’t only comprise KTVs and late-night food stalls. Check out some of the latest speakeasy bars in JB for a drink or two – some of their concoctions rival the best ones you find in KL.

Head over to Haiiro Usagi in Taman Maju Jaya; it’s just 10 minutes away from DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel JB. Observe closely when you’re nearby because this bar has no signage. The interiors are minimalistic with catchy neon lights accentuating different parts of the bar. Enjoy a good selection of wines and cocktails with its dumplings and Japanese skewers.

If you’re thinking of a second round, hop over toT15 Bar(a 5-minute drive). You’ll be able to find an extensive selection of spirits from Japanese whiskies to limited edition gins – have them neat or in your favourite cocktails. Have a go at the Kinmen kaoliang four-ways – a type of baijiu that is served in four interesting ways; with lemon, warm water, plum and also neat.
DoubleTree by Hilton JB is just 10 minutes away from the Causeway checkpoint and 30 minutes from Senai International Airport by car. It’s best to have a car to drive yourself around the city; otherwise Grab is just a click away.
