Day Trip to JB,

Back to blogging. School has been crazy. Hectic schedules with tons of assignment to catch up with. Felt so out of breath at times because of the packed deadlines.

Travelled across the border in end January for a day-trip with the boyf because I had been telling him for many times that I wna go JB for their cafes. So yaaassss, he gave in and we finally went there on a Saturday! Ahhh, the q was horrendous! We took a total of 4hrs to step across the JB custom okay! No joke!! Recommended to go on weekdays! We were famished while q-ing to get our passports stamped!!

MACO VINTAGE
Jalan Ibrahim, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor




Oreo milkshake


Spicy Tuna

Croque Madame





I like my croque madame!! It was salty at first due to the salt and pepper on top of the toast. But I personally love anything with crispy toast. So yep, it sort of offset the saltiness in it. The only disappointing part was that the yolk was a bit cooked. No runny yolk :( Anyway, I ordered smth small because I wanted to save space for later. Overall, it was good!


Maco Vintage wasn't where we wanted to go initially. We had a hard time finding the cafe we initially wanted to patronise. We gave up after searching for abt 10 minutes because, like I've mentioned earlier, we were famished and the sun was blazing hot that day!

Total damage: RM55.70


By Grace, Trus
 9 Jalan Trus, Johor Bahru


A place that sells soft-serve ice cream in charcoal flavour. There are a total of 6 flavours in-store (including CNY Special. I'm not sure if there still is now!). Anyway, as usual, being a chocolate lover, I decided to go with chocolate! HAHAH! #whatsnew! 

I love my decision because it was so yummeh! Just look at the generous amount of ingredients they gave!! Oh, the most interesting part is... There's foam on our soft serve and it's edible! I forgot what it's called. The staff was kind enough to introduce us the different types of chocolates in our cups. But uhm, it was too long ago and I've forgotten what they are called. I only rmbr that there's my favourite chocolate bits!





Total damage: RM17.90

Soon Soon Heng BKT 顺顺兴肉骨茶
 43, Jalan Serigala, Taman Abad
80250 Johor Bahru, Johor Malaysia


Finally, it was near dinner time! Time flies!! Headed for BKT after spending some time at KSL Mall. It's very convenient because this coffeeshop is located just opposite KSL Mall. I read reviews of this saying that we've to queue. But there was no queue on that day so I guess we were a bit lucky? Bcos we were freaking hungry by then! 

I love their youtiao! Baby gave me more than what he had. I think we over-ordered because we were sooo full after our meal! We ordered meatball, golden mushroom (I know it's not called this!), mushroom (again), taukee, youtiao and 2 bowls of white rice! Not forgetting the meat too! Hahahah! We were like "shit! think we ordered too much!".




Overall: 4.5/5
Total damage: RM33

Oh! Ice Cream
KSL City Mall 
LG-10, JB


Headed back to KSL City Mall for dessert at Oh! Ice Cream. I was attracted by the appearance when I chanced upon it via Instagram. So yep, here we were!!




But sorry to say that, this cannot be judged by its look. It's a 好看不好吃 kind of dessert. We chose cookie monster (or smth) for the ice cream and added marshmallow and rainbow rice for the toppings. Nope, I'll nvr go back for this. We threw half of it away because it was way too sweet. Both YZ and I don't have a sweet tooth. But yalah, I admit that it's actually quite Snapchat worthy. HAHAHAH!


Lavender @ City Square


This was recommended by Bro's girlfriend. So yep, bought this back for my family's breakfast! It's actually very fluffy and most importantly, IT'S NOT DRY AT ALL!! I like sponge cakes that aren't dry on the inside. Quite particular about marble/sponge cakes actually because most of us will find it hard to swallow if it's too dry.



The end. Back to my assignments again! 3 more weeks to my first paper and I'm running out of time. Goodbye!
