Awadori @ Mount Austin, Johor Bahru

Awadori @ Mount Austin, Johor Bahru
Non Halal

Congratulations on your first anniversary!
Awadori is Johor Bahru’s only yakitori-specialty izakaya run by a Japanese owner-chef.
Thanks to Chef Yutaka Honjima’s passion and ingenuity, combined with the teamwork among the staff, I always believed this restaurant would gradually gain a loyal following and establish itself—even if it took a little time. Now, with an average rating of 4.8 from over 400 Google reviews, it has become a hugely popular spot.
The yakitori and eel made with Kampong chicken, grilled to perfection over binchotan charcoal, are must-try items. The “Chōchin Wagyu” wrap is a rare new addition to the menu. The “Bara Chirashi” is so delicious you’ll want to eat it over and over again. You can also enjoy a variety of their signature seafood rice bowls. This is an authentic yakitori izakaya where you can savor the delicious flavors of homemade dishes.

ジョホールバルで唯一の、日本人オーナーシェフによる焼き鳥専門居酒屋 Awadori。
シェフ本嶋豊の熱意と創意工夫とスタッフ間のチームワークに、少し時間がかかっても絶対にこの店はファンを少しずつ獲得して安定していく店だと思っていましたが、今や400件以上のGoogleレビューの平均が4.8。すっかり人気店になりました。
備長炭で香ばしく焼いたカンポンチキンを使用した焼鳥とうなぎはマストオーダー。ちょうちん和牛包みはレアな新商品。バラチラシは何度でも食べたくなるおいしさ。シグネイチャーの海鮮丼もいろいろな種類を楽しめます。手作りの美味しさを楽しめる本格的な焼鳥居酒屋です。

Dinner Buffet @ Sheraton Johor Bahru

A buffet at Daily Social, the dining restaurant at the Sheraton Johor Bahru. It’s available both for lunch and dinner on weekends.
I went for the dinner buffet.
It’s an international buffet featuring Western cuisine as well as Chinese and Malaysian dishes. The main courses were luxurious and of high quality. The inclusion of berries among the desserts really added a special touch. They also offer senior rates, and Marriott Bonvoy members get a 20% discount, which is a nice perk.
There’s also a package that includes Sunday brunch and pool access.

Sheraton Johor Bahru

Sheraton Johor Bahru

It’s been 10 months since the Sheraton Johor Bahru opened. The adjacent shopping mall is already home to many tenants, and I hear the hotel is often fully booked on weekends.
I stayed in a Premier Club Room for two nights. The room was spacious, with a bright, simple, and warm interior. The bathroom was also spacious and comfortable to use. The selection of flavored teas was wonderful. It was very relaxing room.
True to the concept of “Cross-Culture”—where people gather and connect—the lobby is bright and very spacious, with several sofas. You can see the lounge, restaurant, and café all from the lobby, and staff are always present, attentive to guests and offering a warm welcome.
Club Lounge is quiet and cozy. During cocktail hour, it’s a real treat to enjoy five types of cocktails and two types of mocktails expertly crafted by the bartender.
The pool area is an oasis in the heart of the city! With a fun kids' pool, a cabana area, and a pool bar, you can relax and enjoy your time here.

Sheraton Johor Bahru @sheratonjohorbahru

開業から10ヶ月経ったシェラトンジョホールバル。隣接したショッピングモールにもすでにたくさんのテナントが入っており、週末は満室の日も多いそう。
プレミアクラブルームに2泊しました。
部屋は広々とし、明るくシンプルで温かみがある内装。バスルームも広く使いやすい。フレーバーティーのセレクションが素敵。とてもリラックスできます。
クロスカルチャー、人々が集い、つながるというコンセプト通り、ロビーも明るくてとても広く、ソファーがいくつもあります。ラウンジやレストラン、カフェがロビーから一望でき、スタッフが常にいて、お客に気を配り、温かく迎えてくれます。
クラブラウンジは静かで大人な雰囲気。カクテルタイムには、バーテンダーが作ってくれる5種のカクテルと2種のモクテルが本格的で嬉しい。
プールエリアは都会の中のオアシス!楽しいキッズプールも、カバナエリアも、プールバーもありゆったりと時間を過ごせます。

Kenjo Bakery @ Taman Melodies, Johor Bahru

Kenjo Bakery @ Taman Melodies, Johor Bahru
(Non Halal)

A Japanese-Taiwanese style bakery where every loaf lets the flavor of the flour shine. Made with premium ingredients like French butter and Japanese wheat, with no chemical additives. Enjoy around 10 varieties each of fluffy shiopan and chewy bagels, plus croissants, focaccia, cakes, and more—all at surprisingly affordable prices.
As one of the few non-halal bakeries in Malaysia, their bacon and sausages are especially flavorful. The quality easily rivals bakeries charging 1.5–2 times more. Definitely worth the visit.
Kenjo is named after owner Joey and her family. After studying baking in Taiwan and training at a Japanese bakery, she opened her dream shop two years ago. Today, it’s a beloved neighborhood bakery where you can also dine in.

Kenjo Bakery @kenjobakery
📍Taman Melodies
📍Austin Crest
Opening hours: 10:30am-8pm Daily

日本と台湾スタイルを融合したベーカリー。フランス産バターや日本産小麦を使い、添加物不使用。粉の美味しさを感じるパンが魅力です。約10種類の塩パンやベーグルをはじめ、クロワッサンやフォカッチャ、ケーキまで充実。それでいて毎日通える価格帯。
マレーシアでは珍しいノンハラル店なので、ベーコンやソーセージも本格的な美味しさ。品質を考えると驚くほどリーズナブルで、訪れる価値があります。
店名「Kenjo」はオーナーJoeyさんと家族の名前が由来。台湾や日本式ベーカリーで学び、2年前に夢だったお店をオープン。今では多くの人に愛される人気店です。
