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.
Hop over to Drums Café for a good mix of Malaysian food like laksa, nasi lemak, chicken rice and Nyonya desserts. The interiors are decorated with drums hanging from the ceiling and a feature wall made of drumsticks. If you’re lucky, you’ll meet the owner, Tan Chai Puan who is the co-founder of 24 Festive Drums, which is now recognised as a Malaysian National Cultural Heritage. Learn everything about this art form and check out the different drums on display – there are also occasional live drum performances in the café.
If you have some spare time, walk around Jalan Tan Hiok Nee to check out some artsy clothing stores including Bev C where you can find pieces from select local designer brands such as Biji-Biji, Cassey Gan and KOZO/JTNC by Justin Chew, Jimmy Lim and Anaya. The space doubles up as a quaint cafe as well.

Travellers can also head over to the Chinese Heritage Museum (it’s only a minute’s walk from the Chinese Heritage Area) to learn about the history of the Chinese community in Johor. Before leaving, pick up a map to help guide you as you walk around the heritage zone.
Night scene and bar hopping

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.
