I also think Jln Meldrum is one of the safest neighbourhoods in JB although it appears to be a rough place. The places in the news are usually Johor Jaya and Taman Sentosa. Taman Sentosa had the night clubs which advertise in the Chinese evening papers and everyone knew about the shows which took place there.

My jb friends told us to avoid tmn Sentosa at night.

I noticed this is UK air BNB and it is in Pouunds not sgd, but after conversion is ard GBP$50+ (before taxes and cleaning fee)

The same listing is on the SG BNB for ard sgd $80 after taxes and cleaning fee , may i knw is this normal ?

if i log in to my airbnb acc, both links show me the same SGD currency & amount~ if i didn't log in to the acc beforehand, the first one will show Pound~

starting 2023, Msia started collecting tourism tax of RM10 per night stay including hotel stay~ previously airbnb also collect Cleaning Fee & Service Fees, now its Cleaning Fee & "Taxes and Fees"~

also some JB airbnb operators collect deposit from SG guests, pay directly thru fund transfer~ while i'd booked airbnb at KL & penang, the operators didn't request such deposit~

it's not that bad, there is a hotel there afterall, and 2 crab restaurants along the street, earlier in the evening both side of the inside streets have malay and chinese night food markets,

inside plaza sentosa got disco and "Spa", beside hotel also got a Kaki-Kaki replacement massage place.

maybe the side (not the store side) and back alley slightly sketchier because of the Vietnam "massage" places

The dark days of Taman Sentosa are in the past.

no diff, both modes pay same amount unless you not sure you will be going or not, then partial payment would be wiser~

JB pasar malam, rm$6-8 for 1. Meaty and good. Depends on location and day though

Kum sia Amat for the tip. I will note it down. These days memory failing.

I like the nyonya Zhang at $4.80 from a teochew porridge shop: more liao than rice.

It is in a row of old Shophouses next to kovan mrt station opposite heartland mall. In the same row of shops houses a Pizza Hut.

The dishes of this teochew porridge is affordable n good too.

Wanted to share with you guys one of my favourite evening nasi lemak places in Gelang Patah. I always called this Abang's shop "the roadside stalls" because there used to also be chicken wings and satay and soft buns etc right next to him for 4-5 different things just off the street, but now he is the sole survivor.

If you look for the coffeeshop 777 he is directly facing it across the street parking.

Opens at 5:30 pm and goes until he sells out, usually around 8:30-10

I recommend you order:

• The ayam rendang (yes I know it looks gray, and the ayam merah is red and exciting, but trust lim peh, hor?)
• One of the amazing deep-fried eggs
• The sambal ikan bilis
• At least one piece of the ayam goreng on the side (I usually get 2 just for me)
• Pappadom, cucumber, peanut and sambal he'll give you, but just ask if you want more of any

16 RM dinner for one:
