Another visit to Bar Banyan, Johor Bahru.

Visited the Bar Banyan (N1.46569 E103.74381) after sometime...you can refer my previous visit here. The Bar is located along Jalan Abdul Samad of Johor Bahru.

This time the Bar surprised us with the Totally new Look! It expended and renovated with Nice Decoration! At first, the dining area became much more comfort and spacious. But I'm yet to taste the food, will do it soon. :)

You can have your dinner here and some beer after the meal in the Beautiful Bar.

Once we stepped in to the Bar area, the attractive decoration appeared just in front of us! The area is Cool and Relax...

Soft music was playing to provide relax environment...it's one of the enjoyment with beer after a hectic day...

The Pool table area is wide and comfort enough. Wanna have a game? :)

At the second session (which is extended area), it's a low sitting area. Where you can rest yourself on the comfortable sofa with low lighting.

I like the 'Bird Cage' lighting very much!

Beside the 'Bird Cage', there were also some other special & unique lighting in the Bar...

We appreciated the Owner - Mr Fann who put in his effort to create such a Beautiful & Relax area within Johor Bahru. Another good reason for us to visit this Bar is...the area won't be over crowded and noisy! Well, at least after many times in our visit. And I called Bar Banyan is One of the Beautiful Bar in JB.

After the drinking area, let me share some photos of the Bar Counter...

Visit it and have a mug or two if you happen in the area. :)

Chinese Dragon Dance @ Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, Johor Bahru.

The Dragon Dance at Jalan Tanh Hiok Nee (N1.45648 E103.76373) was performed on 5th March 2011. We were there trying to capture some photos of the performance.
The show was started about 8pm and the second show was on 9.30pm. The little street was packed with peoples at every corner!

There were total of 4 Dragons that night and the first Performance was the Blue Dragon.

The Blue Dragon which was mixed with Blue, Red, Silver and White colours...


This was the most aggressive Dragon of the night!


Then follow by the some kind of Red Dragon...

My apologies that I couldn't snap a good photo of the White Furry Dragon, it was because of my built-in Flash...sorry...
So immediately after the performance of the Furry Dragon, there came the Lantern Dragon with Fireworks! These was the impressive Dragon of the night!

The Dragon with Fireworks!





The End Of the Show...

We were standing at one of the corner and cannot move around! Because there were extremely crowded and no place left for us to change location...so you can see all my photos were shooting from Only one corner! :)
My head and camera were Hit by the Dragons few times, and luckily it was still A OK. Haha!

We spent almost 3 hours along the street and too bad we miss the business hour of the IT LOO Cafe for our dinner... yeah...I was grumbling why it close so early?!

It was a GREAT show and we hope they will organize it again in next year!

Seng Huat Koay Tiaw Soup at Jalan Kebun Teh Lama, Johor Bahru

Seng Huat Koay Tiaw Soup stall (N1.47779 E103.75348) is located at the junction of Jalan Kebun Teh Lama and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak, Johor Bahru. There was only one stall during my visit and I'm not sure is there any other hawker stall around in this coffee shop.

There are indoor and outdoor area at the shop, and I took the outdoor area...the outdoor area shaded and you won't feel hot especially under the big tree...

Outdoor area

Indoor area

It was not very hot on that day, and I believe the shop will be uncomfortable during a hot sunny day. I ordered the Kuay Tiaw (dry type) and it served with soup.


Plenty of fish in the bowl

The fish was tender and the soup was not too salty, overall...satisfied with it! Delicious!  

Damage was MYR7.00. I will be back again but Not on Hot Sunny day...:)

You might feel not secure around the area because of the vehicles passing by, the shop located exactly beside the traffic light junction and furthermore it's a high traffic area. But for me, it's ok. :)

The stall is open 7 days every week...Mon - Sat : morning till around 4pm and Sunday : morning till 12pm.

Fried Carrot Cake @ Permas Jaya Sunday Night Market

The Fried Carrot Cake hawker stall is located at the Sunday Permas Jaya Night Market (N1.49493 E103.81524), Jalan Permas 10/10 of Taman Permas Jaya. There are 3 Fried Carrot Cake stalls at the night market and this stall is one of it at the middle of the 300 meter long Sunday night market.

The Fried Carrot Cake hawker stall - RM3.50 (small), RM4.00 (big)

The stall is manage and own by a young couple, the guy (Mr Lee) is the one who fried the carrot cake. If you are not sure which stall is correct, just take note that...there'll be a Proton Wira parked behind the stall. Picture below :-

The stall owner - Mr Lee

Maybe because of the night market is fall on Sunday, so prepare for the big crowd along the street. And also a Long waiting queue on the stall...

The Fried Carrot Cake which are ready to pick-up! Look at the queue...

I will suggest you place your order then have a walk at the night market, after finish shopping then pick-up from the stall. Don't waste your time waiting at the stall, because it might take more than 30 minutes for your Fried Carrot Cake.

The Flavorful Fried Carrot Cake was nice and above average if compare with others, it was not salty. But I believe it can be better if it's fry with bean sprout. (Understand some customer doesn't like bean sprout)
I will visit this stall again and I prefer to have a Extra Big pack next time, because it wasn't fill up my stomach even I ordered the Big pack. :)

*  If you like to try it, be there early. I heard the Fried Carrot Cake finish before 8.30pm.

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant at Taman Molek, Johor Bahru

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant (N1.52088 E103.78447) is located along Jalan Molek 3/10, Taman Molek - Johor Bahru, which is nearby the Ponderosa Golf Club of Johor Bahru.

Ho Ho Steamboat Restaurant

We love to take steamboat during the raining night, at least it will not be that Hot and also will warm up the cooling night. The area is spacious enough and you can even choose to dine at the alfresco area (if it's not raining). This restaurant's charges is different from others (eat as you can), they charge per person and serve you all the dishes at once on the table. (MYR14.00 per person)

We like the services of this restaurant. Less than 10 minutes, our table was full of dishes...

And they are Famous with their homemade fish noodles, fish cake and fish balls, beside that...there are also include other seafood like prawns in the package.

Homemade fish balls

Fish and prawns


Noodles and eggs as usual...

Please forget their homemade chili sauce...

Homemade chili sauce

Overall, the steamboat dinner was OK, and the soup was normal chicken soup and the fish was fresh! The restaurant is crowded during weekend and I believe it's because of the reasonable price. We did ordered the beef and it was serve in slices (MYR10.00 per plate), I like it very much!

The Damage : MYR14.00 per person.

Well, we will visit again on the coming raining night for dinner. :)
