Bandar Johor Bahru Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

I like the concept of this chai (tea) place. The reusing old containers creatively can reduce waste. A must try is the Original Thai Milk Tea.

If you have time stop by this museum. Learn how the Chinese landed in Johor Bahru and how the contributed to the local economy and went through hell during the Japanese occupation.
Authentic Hainanese Chicken Chop since 1946. Try also the toast bread and local coffee
Heard that the curry fish head here is superb. I haven't try it cos of the long queue when I was there. The many people waiting is a testimony by itself.

This is well worth the visit and is so well maintained. Kranji War Cemetery is 22 kilometres north of the city of Singapore, on the north side of Singapore Island overlooking the Straits of Johore. It is located just to the West of the Singapore-Johore road (Bukit Timah Expressway) on Woodlands Road, just to the south of the crossroads with Turf Club Avenue and Kranji Road. There is a short approach road from the main road. The Cemetery is known locally as Kranji Memorial and one must be sure of the address before boarding a taxi as most taxi drivers do not know the Cemetery. There are also bus stops on the main road facing the Cemetery. The Kranji MRT (train) terminal is a short distance from the Cemetery, approximately 10 to 15 minutes away by foot. A previous visitor has advised us that a small map of the route can be obtained from the MRT ticket office.
