I would say Mt Austin is a great place to visit for trendy cafes (latest in coffee and bubble tea culture) and entertainment (live band pubs, karaoke) where you will encounter the young, local crowd. This is a scene you do not get anywhere else in JB. The Austin Hills Water & Adventure Park should be quite a draw too.

Cafe, Steamboat, $0.80 loklok(Herbal Chicken must try)
fat fat crab(they have many flavor even oreo crab)
and at night you can visit Midnight Austin(beside fat fat crab) for some live music,
they sell food and shisha and alcohol.

Been to Mt Austin a number of times. Many of their artisan coffee cafes closes early, so I usually don't get the chance to try. Some of my personal favorites so far for your consideration. Images all sourced from Google.



For bubble tea, I would usually go to The Alley, and order the 皇家9號奶茶. Though they already have multiple outlets in JB

For Korean Fried Chicken. I would go to 22 Fried Chicken Factory.

Quite enjoyed the ambience, decor and food of Thank You Mom too.

For Chinese cuisines. I would go for 外婆家.

Japanese cuisine would be Warakuya. Several outlets in Jb too. Always has a queue. But you can just feast on the popcorn and tidbits while waiting. Alternatively for a shorter queue, you can go to Sushi Zento which is a short walking distance away.

Japanese Hotpot. I prefer to go Bushido. Cheap and good

Taiwanese food. Fav is 黑台客

One of the latest attraction there is the LED Modern Bar. If you are into drinking and chiobu watching... A number of cafes beside it too, but food is not really fantastic imo

Lastly. Not forgetting KOBO BBQ and Hotpot, which one nice chap here introduced to me 2 years back. Thought it has closed down, but FB is still active. A real feast with a wide selection. Located upstairs. CHeck out the photos at its website.

And these are located at the area around Austin Heights Water & Adventure Park only. There are still plenty of eateries near Austin Residences and Taman Austin Heights. Enjoy your exploration.

Keep hear ppl talk abt mt austin.. is it a good place to explore?
Can it be reached by bus? I see google map say 1.5 hr from custom, even though got take bus but still need walk 44 min.. (maybe i do wrong? )

Anyone can share how u go mt austin from public transport?

Those who i know all is drive de..

 

[beanstalk6]

Certainly a good place to explore, especially in the evening. But your exploration is limited if you are on foot.
Not sure if https://businterchange.net/johorbus/routes/276-routes-BMJ.html is still up-to-date. Better to Grab.

I normally stay in Austin Park hotel, you can start from there

Grab from City Square to Mt Austin on a Sunday morning was about 15RM. Return trip on the same day during late evening around 44RM. If viewed in combination still okay at about 10SGD one way.
