11@Century <b>Hotel</b>, <b>Johor</b> Bahru - Travel & Living Journal of DT Posted: 07 Jul 2014 06:30 AM PDT I've been to Johor quite number of times but most of the times, either I stayed at my friends' house or mainly just for stopover to Singapore. So when I about to go Johor for Legoland, I asked my sister, who is currently working in Singapore and she always went to Johor for weekend trip, asking her which hotel would she recommend me to stay and she suggested me this - 11@Century Hotel, Johor Bahru.  #1: Overview of 11@Century Hotel As we reserved the room through Agoda.com, all we need to do was printed out the hotel reservation number and showed our identification card upon check-in. The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free and the next thing we know, we were given room card as well as breakfast coupon without any deposit needed. #2: Standard queen size room The size of the room was moderately spacious and it looked very modern and descent. The room was pretty simple which equipped with a queen size bed, LCD flat screen, free WiFi internet access and in-room safety box. There is no mini bar, table and chair provided within the room and in case you need hairdryer, iron and ironing board, you need to request from the housekeeping or counter desk, which I found it's kinda troublesome.   #3: Bathroom with standard toilet amenities provided When we looked into the bathroom, we were quite surprised with the huge size of the bathroom. Like I mentioned above, there is no hairdryer within bathroom and they will provide you upon request. #4: Complimentary coffee and tea making facilities The room was adequate comfort but there still need a room for improvement when comes to cleanliness. We spotted quite number of small cockroaches not just inside the room, but also in the bathroom. Well, of course we weren't afraid of those cockroaches but somehow felt kind disgusting seeing them crawling within the room. #5: Complimentary breakfast buffet Throughout our stayed here, we were entitled for complimentary breakfast buffet every morning. The buffet spread was pretty simple with the range from Asian to western meals such toast bread, eggs, nasi lemak, fried noodle, baked bean and fruit juices. #6: The main plus point of this hotel was it located very near to KSL City Mall Tip If you plan to go to JB Sentral for entering Singapore Woodlands customs, it took less than 10 minute drive and the taxi fare mostly cost less than RM10. Date Stayed: 24 January 2013 - 27 January 2013 (3 nights) Rate We Paid :  RM115.00 per night for a standard queen size room inclusive breakfast (Booked via Agoda.com) Disclaimer: This review is truly based on my own personal experience and is my genuine and honest opinion of this hotel, and that I have no personal or business relationship with this establishment.

Ally&#39;s In Wonderland: Doubletree by Hilton <b>Hotel Johor</b> Bahru Posted: 22 Jun 2014 08:40 PM PDT Last weekend, we had an awesome staycation at the new Doubletree by Hilton Hotel at Jalan Ngee Heng, Johor Bahru. The hotel building was previously Landmark if you are familiar. We were one of the folks who were invited to stay there for 2 nights, for their 'test run'. Could this be the best hotel in Johor Bahru? YES!  Here's why: The Service: It is impeccable. The staff is attentive, friendly, polite, helpful and efficient. I must say they are very well-trained for the hotel and tourism industry. We need more people like them! The Reception. I love the flock of birds wall art. The Design: Oh where do I even start!! I LOVE EVERYTHING IN THAT HOTEL! It's modern yet organic. I would love to meet the designer and the one who sourced for the cool awesome stuff in it, seriously. To give you a bit of the style, if you love MUJI, you'll love staying here. And I noticed the unique lamps and light fixtures. Wooden block chandelier...  ...above this dining table at Makan Kitchen. The Lobby: Love this long big table. Other hotels may not have the luxury of space for this but they don't know how useful it is! And for me, I am so tempted to cut fabric on it! The Room: The corridor leading to our room. Bathrobes and extra pillow.  What I love about this door is that the bottom is lined with squeegee, so it sweeps away any excess water on the floor outside the shower cubicle.  Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries. Enlarge mirror. And see that 'up down' switches?  They are for opening and closing this shade. Some people just want to watch TV when they shower huh...tsk tsk tsk. The phone. The other stuff worth mentioning is that all the switches are labelled so you don't have a hard time finding which switches are for which lights. This is one of the little things that make a hotel room rock. The Makan Kitchen: Serves local cuisine buffet.  Keropok station My favourite station. Ulam, cucumber, local salad, and the belacan dips! Indian Cuisine. Rojak. Satay. The noodle station. There are local kuehs too on the other side.  LOVE the chairs. The jacuzzi and steam room: The ladies changing room. The jacuzzi, overlooking JB townscape. Steam room. And *DRUMROLL*... THE POOL! I'm not boasting or anything (OH YES I AM!) but I think it is the most awesome pool I have seen and swam in. Because it is built by the husband! I have to tell you though, this area is very breezy, and is shaded from 3 pm onwards, so the water is quite cold! If you want the sun, go before 3pm. Panoramic view. Shower area. Kids just love to walk along this shallow path. Poolside chillax area. This place comes alive at night! It is a very cool place to hang out for drinks after dinner. The gym: You get the perfect poolview when you're running on the treadmill. The signature cookie: How cute is that a hotel has a signature cookie. It is not too sweet, has lots of chocolate chips and nuts in it. Just awesome. It was such an honour to be one of the very first guest to experience Doubletree's immaculate standard.

Ramadan Buffet, The Grand GEM Restaurant @ The Grand Blue <b>...</b> Posted: 24 Jun 2014 12:00 AM PDT 24 June 2014 Thank you to the extended invitation of  Tony, Johor Kaki and Peggy Loh, My Johor Story, MaCherie Johor Bloggers and I got the chance to try out Grand GEM restaurant's Ramadan Buffet.  The Grand GEM restaurant is serving authentic Indian cuisine for the past 17 years. In conjunction with Ramadan month, buffet dinner will be prepared by chefs from different part of India. Their main courses are prepared by 3 of their resident Muslim Chefs (Chef Jakir Hosen, Chef Reyaz and Chef Jainul). Onion Pakoda as starter It is best eat with hand. So, you can taste the crunchiness and sweetness of onion.    Another great starter The refreshing salsa sauce on top of crispy capati   Mint Sauce or Pudina Sauce A very refreshing mint smell. I like to eat it with Roti Romali. Mixed Grill Platter  Red -> Chicken Tandoori. The chef tried new method to cook it. Thus the chicken meat is very tender White -> Chicken meat marinated with cashew nut paste. It have nutty taste Green -> Pudina Chicken White stick -> Chicken meat mince marinated with yogurt and herbs. It was BBQ over the fire. This the over later is a bit hard texture. Garlic Naan with three types of graves. Chicken Curry Gravy to go with naan Mutton Curry Gravy to go with naan.  Bhuna Gosh (Mutton) This is my favorite mutton paste to go with naan. The mutton is full with herb. Most importantly, it is very tender and soft. I think elder people can just eat it without much difficulty. Brocolli with Mushroom My first time to see boiled vegetables served with thin sliced cheese.  Nasi Goreng Kampung Don't worry.This Nasi Goreng Kampung is not spicy at all.  Moreover, it have lots of fried ikan bilis in it. Roti Romali The dough is rolled into flat round. The dough is made out of Romali flour. The flat dough is baked on top of wok. As you can see from the image above, The wok is placed up side down on the fire stove. Why is the wok white in colour? THe chef explained that it is due to salt water. Before the chef the bread, some salt water is sprinkle on the hot wok, No oil was involved in baking this Roti Romali. It is very healthy. How is the taste? it is very chewy. I am having great fun to tear the bread into bits. Vegetarian Burgers I prefer the potato paste. It is very smooth. The restaurant do serve several vegetarian dishes too.  Gulab Jamun A fired milky ball in syrup. Kesari I prefer this dessert. According to vegRecipeIndia website, kesari is a popular south Indian sweet made from semolina during festive season. This dessert is vegetarian dessert too. Masala Tea A nice and hot herb tea to end the meal. To celebrate  this holy month, Grand GEM will be having Ramadan Buffet Dinner. Price Per Two Pax = RM70 nett (Special rates) Hotel Guest & Advance Reservation will get a 35%% Discount. Corporate Group Booking will get a 35% Discount + 5 % discount if reservation made before 3rd July 2014. Thanks to Ms. Peggy Loh sharing some great old Johor's stories with us. She is not a writer.

<b>Johor</b> Bahru, 2013 | Vondelicious! Posted: 03 Jul 2014 06:31 AM PDT Minature Lego KLIA It's been a while since my last holiday post, because searching through the hundreds of holiday photos to find the food ones is just too much work that I just about give up everytime. But the fact that holiday posts are the most fun to reread again makes the time and effort worthwhile :) When we visited Singapore at the end of last year, we only stayed for a day, because we had planned to head over to Malaysia for a couple of days afterwards. With Johor Bahru being just over the border, we stopped there first to checkout Legoland where much fun was to be had. Unfortunately, getting there was not as easy as we'd anticipated on a Friday evening, with literally hours of waiting for the public buses, extremely heavy traffic, huge crowds at immigration, taxi drivers which swarmed us despite the presence of a system for allocating taxis to passengers and taxis which took us through long dark unlit roads which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. By the time we reached our hotel some 4 hours after we had planned, we were exhausted and pretty scarred by the experience. Lesson learnt: never travel between Singapore and JB on a Friday night!! Egg Roti Luckily that was the only bad experience we had of Johor Bahru, and after a good night's rest, we were ready to continue with our trip. We'd purchased tickets for a shuttle from our hotel to Legoland, but it was only upon collection of our tickets that we realised the so called 'shuttle' was actually a Honda Odyssey, seating 7 passengers, so we missed out on securing seats for the earliest shuttle. With more than an hour to spare, we had a nice chat to the owner of Saffron Cuisine, who suggested we have breakfast at his restaurant whilst we wait. Nasi Lemak We weren't too hungry, so we didn't order much, but the menu was quite extensive with plenty of interesting Indian options. We went for their breakfast special, of Nasi Lemak, watermelon, orange juice and coffee (there was also a less exciting Western breakfast on offer too, if my memory serves me right!). Dosa The waitress also suggested we try the dosa, and since we couldn't choose which one to order, we went with the plainest one. We'd only ever had dosa once in Sydney, but this version was quite different as this one was soft, whereas the one we'd had before was crispier- I quite enjoyed this one, especially dipped in the accompanying sauces, although I my parents preferred the roti we ordered, as they weren't too fond of the slight tang of the dosa. We  reach Legoland shortly after- I was never much of a Lego fan, but the sight of the brightly coloured Lego blocks was quite exciting! They even have a Legoland hotel right next to the theme park, with Lego themed rooms which we would have loved to stay at if only they had rooms for 4 people! I loved the miniland the best, with various minature cities built out of lego. The amount of detail was amazing, though it's hard to really admire everything when all you really want to do is get out of the scorching sun! Having only just come from Singapore, I really liked the Singapore one- the attractions were so similar to the real thing! They even had interactive ones, with dancing figures and spraying water with the touch of a button :) The themepark is actually quite small- we easily visited every ride and attraction within 2 hours. The lack of shelter and the scorching heat also meant that it was difficult to stay there for too long! Located adjacent to the theme park is the Mall of Medini, where there is an abundance of dining options. For lunch, we chose the first restaurant which seemed to have good air conditioning and an interesting menu, which ended up being Manhattan Fish Market. Scallop Americana It's a nice restaurant, with comfy seating, aircon levels just enough to cool us down, and an extensive seafood menu with prices around the same as you'd expect in Australia......but in Ringgits (: We love how cheap everything is in Malaysia! The Scallop Americana didn't come with as many scallops as the picture made us believe (they are there, you just can't see them in the picture!),  and wasn't too exciting, but the pasta was cooked well. Seafood Chowder Service was pretty slow,  and they forgot our seafood chowders until we asked for them at the end. It was nice and creamy, though surprisingly light for a chowder. Manhattan Star Platter The Manhattan Star Platter arrived with quite a show,  with the 'Manhattan Flaming Prawns' being flamed right in front of us. It's perfect for sharing, with grilled calamari, fried oysters, poached garlic herb mussels, mediterranean baked fish on a bed of fried rice. And after a satisfying meal, we head off to catch a bus to KL!
