Johor Bahru is not a boring place to visit—this is a sentiment most Singaporeans agree with. However, if you thought it’s awesome because there are cheaper food and shopping to be found there, you’re never more wrong.
JB is more than just City Square and KSL. In fact, it’s filled with unknown restaurants, cafes and destination locations that are just waiting to be explored.

This time round, we’re bringing you the best spots for couples to date and go all Instagram-crazy!
Country Garden, Danga Bay

The property might still be under construction, but its facilities are open to the public. Head over to the beach to laze and catch up on a book, or just enjoy a volleyball game between the two of you. Go to Starbucks for a cuppa, and you’re set for the day.
Address: Danga Bay, Jalan Skudai, 80200 JB
AOV Paintball
Spend some time outdoors for a change and battle over paint. It’ll cost you around $40 per person for a 2-hour game, and you’d be able to snap before/after pics of the two of you and burn some calories too!
Address: 7 Jalan Harmonium 23/13, Taman Desa Tebrau, 81100 JB
Laser Battle
If paintball isn’t your cup of tea, how about this? This is a date of a different kind and is gentle on your wallet too (YAY!). You’d be paying around $12 per head for 2 games during weekdays, and $3 dollars more on weekends.
Address: Lot MS-11, JB City Square, 80000 JB
TGV Bukit Indah’s Beanieplex
Forget about 90-degree chairs while watching a movie, and laze like you do at home on a comfy beanie bag. It’s just 20-minutes from the checkpoint. Tickets are sold in pairs at around $17 for the two of you.

Address: AEON Bukit Indah, Jalan 15/2, Taman Bukit Indah, 81200 JB
Roost Recycled & Repurposed
This two-storey café brings recycling to an entirely new level. We’re talking about newspaper rolls, tin containers and even Jägermeister bottles reused to things like lampshades and furniture. Picture perfect ambience for the two of you!
Address: 14 Jalan Trus 80000 JB
Faculty of Caffeine
What do you get when an ID expert and medical student come together to open a café? An unorthodox café that’s filled with cool designs and an eye chart!
Address: 106 Jalan Trus 80000 JB

EH HE Art Café
This café/art gallery keeps its Malaysian Chinese roots strong and brings you vintage decor with new age art. And good cups of coffee. Perfect for an Instagram shot!
Address: No.1 Jalan Trus, 80000 JB
Coffee Valley
Imagine a dish being called an Eggslut (how offensive!), but it looks like artwork on a plate.
Address: 12a Jalan Trus, 80000 JB
By Grace
And what better to make her happy than bringing her someplace she can satisfy her sweet tooth with some sweet things? Soft-served ice cream is brought to a new ballpark here and made with all-natural ingredients.

Address: 9 Jalan Trus 80000 JB
Alicafe Specialty Coffee
This is a place that’s easily missed. Its interior is decked with the height of luxury in leather sofas. The Instagram winner here? The cotton candy affogato and the Oreo Cloudy Shake!
Address: 27 Jalan Dhoby, 80000 JB
