First time in Johor Bahru, Malaysia! 🇲🇾

We have been to Johor Bahru before, but only to visit our friends for Hari Raya Eid. Our friend took us around his hometown, but due to covid and the Eid holiday, many facilities were closed. So that's why you've never seen videos in Johor Bahru from us. But this time, we will stay for two weeks to properly explore this city. We are excited to check out what's in store, and to try some of the best Malaysian food from Johor. Check out our vlog, please share some recommendations for our next videos. Thank you.

Those "staircases" are actually cascading drains to prevent soil erosion. Cascading to prevent water from flowing too fast downwards

[@ChronoAlex]

I'm Malaysian an even I don't know that before. Nice

[@TheMan-xp4cb]

​@@ChronoAlex It is also a fire breaker If there is bush fire it will break the spread & give access to firemen to fight the fire You will find it a common place in the mediterranean countries

[@ngbengngee1404]

🕝 Time 4:50 🤓 There's even a minister also don't know about it when he officiate the completion of the big retaining wall near my house with similar structure and 🤭 commented there are stairs to the upper level of the retaining wall 😅 for recreation. 🧐 indirectly this is correct as the maintenance crews do used there steps for easy access when carry out inspection and maintenance 👍.

[@Traveler_0901]

After more than 30 years, my childhood question finally andwered 😂

[@BeyfighterFaris]

@@ngbengngee1404OMG disaster!! Wahahahaha!!

[@d_n_na]

My recommendation if anyone come to Johor and drop off at Larkin station, just walk across and go to Selera Johor at Plaza Larkin. You will find a lot of Johor foods at one place - nasi briyani gam, mee bandung, kacang pool, lontong kering, lontong, nasi ambeng etc.

[@xyayatx]

Johor is food heaven for me. Mee bandung Mee rebus Lontong Darat Manaf (simpang renggam) This is my top3 favourite. Other: Lontong Laksa johor Kacang pool hj ali Murtabak Majid Asam pedas Pisang goreng mawar + SAMBAL KICAP Nasi Briyani Gam BP Nasi lemak Wak kentut kulai Rojak Asmara Pontian Kari kambing 40hari. Banyak lagi kuih² U may not liked all the food. But must try If place to visit not to much for me: SSI stadium Legoland Mersing pantai & pulau

[@byteme9718]

You missed bak ku teh.

[@defnemurat7122]

Nice video guys! I never been to Asia , but all I can say is that it’s all very modern. I think the asian countries are more modern and beautiful than Europe. I didn’t expect that! 😮

[@BeyfighterFaris]

Come come! ❤

[@AlanaDunsmore]

Woo! I can't wait to visit Johor Bahru! Loving the use of 'lah' Steve! 😄

[@ExploreMasSabran]

Kacang Pool, Ken favourite in Johore

[@izharastroboy5206]

Johor speciality kacang pool, nasi briyani Johor, mee rebus gearbox, goreng Pisang mawar, asam pedas Johor, Soto

[@diepieche]

the staircase you mentioned on highway were not staircase. It were drainage systems to protect hill slope from water that preventing those soil become landslide which can be dangerous to traffic users.

[@muhammadsyafiq7198]

You should visit Johor Darul Ta'zim Football Club Stadium and try the "Woodfire" burger at the stadium as well.

[@sirbobhatethenumberyoutubegive]

woodfire burger soo good😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@ajeebfoodhunter]

[@ezrahelvetica988]

JB, the city with 1M people at night, 500,000 during daytime and 1.5M during Singapore's holiday. (roughly btw)

[@hishamshah7]

You are now in JB and consider not that very far from Mersing. 2 hours trip to Tioman Island.

[@katherinelo2590]

Steve can eat spicy food! Good! Loving couple came back to Malaysia! All your Malaysian fans welcome you two with open arms!

[@65rainz]

the scary gaps in the flat buildings for ventilation. Without those openings, the building collapsed from the strong wind.

[@katherinelo2590]

Looking forward to all your videos in the state of Johor! 👏

[@MVPA-io5ee]

I like that both of you are always like a kid with each other. So cute, so lovely 😊❤️

[@cleanenergyinside1921]

The problem is there are hundred of bus companies and many of them are small ones. Unlike airlines that have links to the airport, the bus operators dont. So the best thing is the bus station, not so much the buses 😊

[@bahaosmn]

Welcome to JB guys! Must try the Kacang Pool at Larkin, JB.. one of Ken's favourite. 😬👍🏻

[@fared___3409]

The stairs are drainage system and also use as pathway for landscape worker to cut grass till the top.

[@vincentchin88]

Johor... then to the east coast and Tioman!

[@abrahman537]

you should try 'kacang pool' in Larkin, not far from JB city centre

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank you for this video. Wonderful.

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Steve, Ivana, someone is scamming using your UTube channel's name.

[@suhailmahmood4097]

Hi guys. Welcome to JB, my place of birth, my current residential city. Do explore JB n enjoy the food.

[@sukanriadah]

What I know johorian best for 1. Laksa Johor 2. Pisang goreng (sambal kicap} 3. Mee bandung 4. Lontong 5. Nasi Ambeng 6. Kacang Pool

[@puripuribuns]

WAIT A MINUTE WAIT MINUTE!!!!!!!!! You guys are back in Malaysia???? I’m going to binge watch you guys again! So happy to see YT recommend your channel again. It’s been so long since I watched your vlogs. Safe travels and happy makan ♥️♥️

[@puripuribuns]

Actually if you really can’t tahan to go toilet, usually we approach the driver and request and most of the time they will stop at the next RNR. Some Johor food I recommend is lontong kering, kacang pool, and my favourite kampung snack mi siput with sambal. Brings back memories of spending raya at the old wooden kampung house and we have that as our tea time snack with the elders.

[@nooralhaddad5056]

You should go to mersing n do the islands hopping…..you won’t be dissapointed…. The islands are beautiful!

[@aircommandslipperz]

[@vincentchin88]

Any place with a Nintendo or PS anything is auto 5 star!

[@TheDiskusijenet]

Hey Ivana, the beauty of my dream...Greetings to you from Serbia!

[@mohdhashashim]

Hi Jetlag worriers You should try ABC in kampung Melayu.. Beside that you should also try Murtabak cheese.. I could bring you there if you want .. Cheers

[@carlagoncalves8414]

Hi Ivana , Hi Steve . Cool veido as always , nice to see you are feeling better . The stairs on the highway are not for people 🙂they are drains for rain water . The stairs slows down the water preventing damage to the soil . Big kisses .😘

[@JetLagWarriors]

Oh, duh! Yeah, I guess I didn't really think they were stairs... I mean there's no where to park to even use them lol! But they do look like staircases :)

[@amirism91]

the stairs are for flowing rain water down to the drain

[@putrawk]

At night, there's Pasar Karat, where they sell thrift items. It's near the JB- Singapore Causeway. You guys should check it out

[@deqalb]

Welcome to my hometown Steve & Ivana! Although I grew up in JB, I'm with Steve on Laksa Johor. My palette just couldn't agree even after so many years of trying 😣 Nonetheless, here are the list of food recommendation in JB for you guys to try; Baby sotong (seasonal) (dinner) - Tepian Terbrau, Jalan Sungai Chat. Even with no sotong, other seafood dish there are great especially the salted egg prawns. Mee Rebus Haji Wahid (lunch) - Plaza Angsana Murtabak Singapura (late afternoon/dinner) - Jalan Kolam Ayer Nasi Lemak & Lontong (breakfast) - Warong Saga, Jalan Mahmoodiah Sup Tulang (Gearbox) ZZ (breakfast) - Jalan Mariamah Roti Telur & Lontong (breakfast) - Onn Kitchen, Jalan Tarom Salahuddin Bakery (breakfast to tea time)- Simple buns cooked with 100+ year old oven. Goes well with Teh-0 kosong. Very nostalgic. Jalan Dhoby Woodfire @ Jotic (lunch-dinner) - JB pride gourmet burgers. Jalan Kolam Ayer or Stadium Sultan Ibrahim Pisang Goreng Mawar (tea time) - Jalan Sungai Chat

[@jemimychannel7893]

Just my 2cents opinion... Kindly avoid putting your phones on the table while having your foods.... We just don't know what gonna happen next, right? I enjoy all your videos..kudos to both of u guys... peace

[@panoramicviolinist]

[@desmychannel6263]

[@ezharbakar8732]

Well, you can go 100 years banana cake shop or 100 years pastry shop at Johor Bahru city centre, Food recommendations like, Mee Soto Mee Bandung Mee Rebus Kacang Pool Murtabak Singapore Laksa Johor Burasak Asam Pedas Botok Botok

[@terbanghelang1404]

Welcome to my hometown😊

[@irischeng9946]

Welcome both of u to JB 🎉 you may explore places like tree cafe and blue pond at gunung pulai, desaru, kota tinggi water fall, tanjung piai, kukup etc

[@haslinddamohamadsainan6952]

If not mistaken, Abg Ajib did bring u to JB to visit some friends before he got married on Hari Raya, kot? But that just a day trip if not mistaken after that you went to Melaka.. something like that

[@daasofia]

Although i am from Selangor but i am even more excited that u are in JB cos as a student there, i have tried so many awesome food and would like to share some of my fav (hopefully these stalls are still around!!): - Sup Tulang ZZ @ Jalan Petri - Warung Saga @ Jalan Mahmoodiah (for early breakie, i remembered most food are sold out by 9am) - Pisang Goreng Mawar @ Nong Chik - Restoran Hua Mui @ city centre, a kopitiam - Ong Shun, a seafood restaurant which is filled with students at night (at my time) cos of the reasonable price for rice dishes - Onn Kitchen, different menu for breakie and for dinner - Bumbu Asli, the best laksa in my opinion - Bakso Kubur Cina / Warung Boyan, funny story on this place and i highly suggest to go!!! The word Kubur Cina means Chinese cemetery and the stall is literally located next to one, in fact ur view is the cemetery as you are enjoying their bakso!! I went with a friend and we went at night and had no clue where we were driving to cos it was dark and found ourselves at the cemetery with other ppl also parked there. We followed this other couple who just arrived and walked along this short path towards these lights coming from a house/stall and behold... It was the bakso stall hahaha but very tasty bakso!!!

[@mumtazahmustajab9870]

Hv an experience going through the Malaysia-Singapore Causeway. Take the bus into Singapore and return same day. It's an experience.

[@nizamsafuan22]

Place to Visit 1. Legoland 2. Puteri Harbour 3. Country Garden 4. Paradigm Mall 5. Taman Merdeka 6. Dataran Merdeka (Jam Besar) 7. Stadium Larkin 8. Stadium Sultan Ibrahim 9. Sungai Segget 10. Uptown (Night) Place to eat 1. Karabao 2. Tepian Tebrau 3. Kacang Pool Larkin 4. Galleria Kotaraya 5. Mee Rebus Haji Wahid 6. Shopping Complex food😂

[@ziggycat7504]

Carabao is just next to the place they 'lepak', can even see the signboard in the video. It's Thai food. Recommended but a bit pricey.

[@lilyrozitatajuddin460]

Btw this was such a fun video to watch… I was having a glum day n u guys cheered me up. So comel how Steve was so hungry 😂

[@azarimy]

One of the things I'd always recommend to do in JB to at least watch a football game at the JDT's Sultan Ibrahim Stadium. It's one of the best football experience you'd experience in Malaysia. But unfortunately the next scheduled JDT game is 20th Oct, not sure if you'll still be around in JB or not. Or at least go to the stadium and try the Woodfire burger. About 20-30 minutes from JB city centre.

[@AlexSDU]

13:13 Usually when I eat Chicken Rice, I would pour the sambal into the soup, stir them up, then pour it on my rice. I'm the type of person that like my rice banjir (flooded).😅 But then again, I do the same on any food that come with a bowl of soup - nasi goreng, mee goreng, kuey tiaw goreng, and so on.

[@JetLagWarriors]

I will try this! I too like banjir food :)

[@kamarulzaman4806]

We are waiting for you in Mersing Johor. wonderful experience for nature tourism

[@BeyfighterFaris]

Oh yeah! Steve, you can try Sengkuang Calit in Johor. It's quite popular there

[@azaharismail1006]

Johor is famous with mee bandung muar, mee rebus johor, Johor Laksa, Briyani Gam, Asam pedas Johor, rojak petis... and lots more. You also must visit danga bay nite sea view and royal palace here. From Johorean.

Not much to see in JB but you guys should go to a jdt fc football match. 10 years Malaysian league champion in a row! You might get a good amount of views.

[@misskamisahketak8524]

kacang pool ,mee bandung must try when you in Johor

[@jonmath4182]

Those are not steps for humans, well they can be at certain times for the maintenence people, they are actually steps for water, they form part of the surface water drains, and instead of one longgggg straight slope that will give too much power to the water that it'll tear up and break up the drain at the bottom of the slope in no time at all, causing the entire drain to collapse, and maybe even taking down the slope/ground with them, so they are designed that way to provide multiple breaks as brakes for the rushing water from above (you know how the rains are like in malaysia! In liverpool when they said it rained a lot, I was like oh no, but after experiencing some of those "rains", I told them those were not rains, those were what malaysians call drizzles!) Char kuey teow = penang? Hmmm, fair enough, but have you two tried _ipoh char kuey teow kerang_ yet??? Johor = _otak2, laksa johor, lontong (yum!), nasi briyani gam (not my favorite), kacang pool (nothing to do with swimming pool, nor shooting pool as in billiard), zapin,_ and _kuda kepang_ 😬

[@zamrimohamad9482]

You must try burasak and lepat lewi.....try with Asam pedas ikan parang...

[@deanneshane3799]
