AEON Tebrau

This mall brings its game to a whole new height when it comes to shopping experiences. Stroll around and check out different walks of stores. It’s so huge you’ll find that a single day isn’t enough!

KSL City Mall

KSL is highly regarded for its phone repairs, so if you’re ever in need for a fix that’s good and cheap, drive by this place. You can get pretty blouses from Korea and China for a steal. I personally love it for the mani-pedi sessions and MBO Cinemas.

While you’re there, do check out the serviced apartment: for SGD$70 per night, you get a studio so big, you won’t want to come back to Singapore!

Johor Premium Outlets

Clearance items and branded goods at knockout prices? What’s not to love about this place! They’ve got it all covered – Bath & Body Works, Coach, Burberry. The list goes on and on and on.

Komtar JBCC

Remember I mention that City Square is just one of the malls beside the checkpoint? This is a relatively newbie mall that shouldn’t be passed off the list. It’s huge and it’s just across the road from JB Central. If you’ve got kids, they’ll enjoy themselves at the Angry Birds theme park. Food’s pretty good and affordable too. Sephora and Marks & Spencer anyone?

Johor Bahru City Square

Oka, we should still include this here because it’s still a classic mall for Singaporeans. Cruise around Levi’s and Cotton On, then head over for a meal at Nando’s. Wrap up your trip by heading back to the bus with a cup of Starbucks in your hand: all at 3 is to 1!

Mall of Medini

This mall might seem pretty basic, but it’s perfect for resting your legs after tiring yourself out at Legoland. There’s an ATM right next to the escalator if you need it, and who’s ever going to say no to KFC or The Chicken Rice Shop (which has only one outlet in Singapore)?

Danga City Mall

This mall is all things IT – think of it as the Sim Lim Square of JB minus Jover Chew. There’re two floors dedicated to just IT. It’s also famous for its paintball activities, bowling alley and archery section. Did I mention that the Big Bad Wolf sales and Baby Expos (as well as other exhibitions) are held here every other time?

Plaza Pelangi

This mall is historical in Johor, and is home to familiar names like Esprit and Cold Storage. While it might not be the best for shopping, it’s best for being unique (you know, checking in on Facebook to Plaza Pelangi instead of the usual City Square).

Holiday Plaza

This mall brings you a unique experience you can’t find in Singapore! On one end, you’ll find Chameleon with their lovely accessories. On the other side of the stretch, some renowned tailors for suits and tattoo artists operate. Not your average mall, that’s for sure.

Sutera Mall

Fancy singing on the mike when you’re done shopping? This sweet mall is in Skudai, but it’s got some good apparel shops and a decent arcade game centre. Outside the mall, you’ll find lines of shops and restaurants that are just as good!
