Yes there's a zus there but it's the last thing I would go check out there. Too many other great stuff in the area imo. :s13:

IRRC, when we chatted with some owners there I think one of them mentioned RM6000+ per month (I think) . Unsure if it's just ground floor or include upper level. Some of them have their workers live upstairs.

Based on my selfish perspective, the area can really do with some proper noodle shops but then you may need to research the clientele there to see if there's any demand or enough foot traffic.

Suggest you go to the sales office over at the club house at level 2. Get the staff to drive you to those existing precincts that still have balance units for sale to view the housing surrounding. You will love it even more… quiet and serene…
Many MY or ah tiong that leased to stay eventually buy for own stay …
Some visiting from sg: both MY and ah tiong also buy to relocate from sg…

大流芒 Mangolicious (Nusa Bestari）​

Double chops confirmed is not the same company.
See the T shirt at night market is neon green and not dark brown.
Also, night market uses a machine to process the mangoes fruits much like a sugar cane juice and not using blender like the one at Mangolicious
Aiya.,, ga ga lai night market to satisfy your cravings… it seems this mango isn’t always open at night market. Last week, I don’t think I see it at all.

Thank you ! Looks like it's a small street of food shop. I had the braised duck on bookmarke so someone on here may have also recommended before. Quite near TUTA !

As Andrew has shared, Austin Park Hotel can walk around the area, though mainly makan. IIRC breakfast time will see more variety across the road on the other side.

Mt Austin is those open space area with rows and rows of shophouses, and as with many parts in JB, it can be very hot and not really suitable for leisure jalan jalan imo. So it's best that you have some place in mind to get to as a base (for e.g. hotel, massage place, eatery) and then base your jalan jalan off that base.

I typically categorize Mt Austin into 3 main parts

"North" - Sekbao / Tea & Ember / CHADDEE etc. A row of newer shophouses with a lot of offerings targetted at the younger demographics. I'm middle age, and I find this area not very interesting but could be different for you depending on your interest/taste/demographic. If I'm not wrong, this place comes alive more in the evening.

"South" - Likeme noodle house / High school kopitiam - This area is a bit more old school and has plenty of large massage chains and hotels in the area.

"South East" or "Far South" - 38 degree onsen spa / The Toast / Meng Meng roast duck - This area is a bit of a mix offering I think, I hardly have time to venture to this part.

It may be possible to walk from north to south, but trying to combine the far south together in your single day exploration could be challenging. In any case, the area can be so hot that I sometimes even grab from north to south.

Another Sunway boulevard series, finally get the time to share !

This is a vegetarian cafe with some unusual creations. So must keep an open-mind ! :grin:
Surprisingly crowded when we were there again yesterday.
