Out of my own experience JB is maybe not perse the 2nd best city in Malaysia. Though it’s nice to visit as a tourist for a few days. Including JB I can recommend to go to; George Town, Malacca, Ipoh, Kuanta, and KL if you’re interested to visit Malaysian cities. What Malaysian cities do you recommend to go to for people who are visiting from outside of Malaysia?
@@Lic_471 Bro, I'm from KL. I'm just stating facts, no emotions. Penang is the 2nd best/most advanced city in Malaysia. Let the healthy national competition begin! :)
The problem with many of the least popular states in Malaysia is due to the lack of efforts to promote and upgrade its infrastructures to be more tourist friendly. Johor has many hidden gems that are worthy of highlighting and make it more inviting to visitors. But then again, due to lack of effort from the relevant people. What a pity. There're some really good Chinese restaurants in Johor that sells delicious seafood dishes.😊
I stay in Johor for almost 3yr, study in there b4 covid, in Johor i only know, larkin, plaza angsana, tampoi, skudai n kempas, its nice place for local hanging out, but not sure about touristy, but i remenber i saw 2 tourist women eat nasi campur in skudai area long time ago
Very nice guys. Loved some of the streets there, the double story properties aligning them so colourful and reminded me a bit of Old Phuket town. The food amazing value, that upstairs restaurant for the two dishes and apple juices a very affordable 15 Oz dollars for the lot. The night market food way cheaper. Very busy there but as you said a Friday night so to be expected. Amazing view of Singapore from the parking area. Cheers champs 🤩
Haha cheers mate! If someone read your comment before watching they might not watch it anymore because they know pretty much everything that happens in the video 🤪 thanks again mate and have a beautiful weekend 🏆
no one can present it as well as yourself mate, not even I 😂 I just give a sneak preview before the champ does his thing in partnership with the Champess and entertains us all. I generally watch them twice to be sure, to be sure 🤩@@Chai_Travel
Amazing great city, Chay, hope you both loved it. From the volgs you made, I see that you really love Shoutheast Asia, especially Thailand of course. To broaden your insight into this region, especially in term of social cilture, tourisn and cusien, I suggest you stopping by Batam Island Indonesia which is only 1 our's cruise from Singapore. On The Island, you will feel a different vibe, especially regarding to its werkend's city life and culinary. Have nice and fun explores Chai..
JB is the second largest city after Klang Valley consists of MBJB, MBIP and MBPG, with 2 million population, we have RTS directly link to Singapore's MRT, we have the first IKEA outside Klang Valley, we have the first Mid Valley mall outside Klang Valley, we have the first Paradigm Mall outside Klang Valley, we have the first Family Mart outside Klang Valley, we have the first MUJI outside Klang Valley. we have the first Decathlon Outside Klang Valley and we have the first Nitori outside Klang Valley, we have the first Premium Outlets in Malaysia, we have 2 Hard Rock cafes in Johor, we have the first Legoland in Asia. You said we are the 4th city in Malaysia after Ipoh? You must be joking!!
@@manachurch In terms of GDP per capita too. Klang Valley, Penang and Sarawak are already high income. Klang Valley about US$20,000 now. Malacca should be next to be high income, I think.
It reminds of various cities, eclectic, colorful, modern , but of course you are showcasing this cool place that many people have never seen - so in regards to travel - I think we are all missing out by not travelling outside of KL ? - Nice work Champs 😃👌👋👍🙏
Haha yeah I think so. But just staying in KL is a great experience by itself. I hope to be able to show more of the islands on our next trip. The East Coast has a lot of them 😍 thanks champ🏆
When did u make this video, because we rarely see our city so empty. Hua Mui usually has a long queue, for example, but we saw it with many vacant tables.
You should try the kacang pol.. baryani gam . Mertabak special , otak otak.., laksa Johor.. soto, Burasak., Opak.., nasi ambeng, mee bandung, tauhu bakar.., and many others foods that really are more Jaybian
That "chicken chop" you had looks similar to what we call chicken fried steak in the U.S. I think the gravy/sauce is supposed to be poured over the top of it.
I have been to JB once for a few days before crossing over to Singapore - nice city but also liked KT as well (Kuala Terengganu) - even Georgetown in Penang was good and so was Melaka
@@Chai_Travel do they make tea like the one you get in india/chai? Brewed with milk and water, usually on a high flame, and sometimes mixed with spices like cardamom or cinnamon. And served hot?
Haha that’s a good question. For me, and that’s just personal preference (and I haven’t spent a lot of time in Penang), I pretty KL but it’s a close call 😁 thanks for watching
One thing that Malaysia can learn from Thailand is to make every major city tourist friendly and not just a place for locals to live. Improve customer service, better public transport dan pedestrian friendly. I am sure the government is aware of this need in the future.
Fact: if you see the construction train is going to be world record for the fasteat train in the world beating japanesse world record it goes singapore into our far state perlis(more than 1,200,000)km away please respect our future Thank you for reading.
Seriously asking, penang or JB? I was thinking of JB since I want to take my kids to Legoland. But please give me other perspective. I will be travelling with my wife and two children, 5 and 7 yo. Thanks
yes Johor and Singapore is very near we need each other in many ways not forgetting Thailand because Malaysia Thailand and Singapore are indeed the three musketeers of asia All for one and one for All so let's keep it fhat way
@@Chai_Travel mid-valley Southkey is the newest and pretty upscale. Paradigm Mall is more on the mid-scale with more local shops and super huge,with activities like archery, rock climbing and karaoke. As a Singaporean, Paradigm is a better choice
There are 2 IKEAS in KL....so there are definetely more than 2 in Malaysia. PS, Malaysian IKEA meatballs are nothing like Swedish meatballs. Give them a miss.
Misleading info at around 1:20 timestamp. There are no bars around the footages you show. This area is not suitable for those who want to have a bit of alcohol. More like a halal place
There are definitely places where you can enjoy a cocktail, beer, or some soju meters away from where I was mentioning this. A lot of Chinese Malaysians are owning properties here. But yeah if you really want to correct me :) that’s okay, I confirm that there were no “bars” bars in that precise street where I was pointing the camera at.
@@Chai_Travel Your headline! Most if not all Malaysians would know Penang as the 2nd best/most advanced city in Malaysia after KL/Klang Valley. I been to JB last year, and I don't think JB is Penang standard yet. Nevertheless, I support a healthy "national" competition as it's also good for Malaysia. :)
Having been in KL for 6 months now, I would Say Penang (Georgetown) is 1st.... JB is not half bad though, but not so much for tourists. I would probaby prefer staying in JB to KL as there is more water front and feels bit more open and low key.
Typical Singapore travelers to JB very happy because their high value Singapore dollar means high purchasing power. It could be cheap for them but not to locals.
Johor people, stop joking. If you want to build jb to be self-sufficient, step 1 is to have people. You must have at least 2 mil people live, work and study in JB. Almost all Johoreans must come back to JB from foreign country. Otherwise, wait long long ok?
Fair enough:) I personally think KL is still very underrated in South East Asia but that’s just my personal opinion ☺️ thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
I thought the owner of the Chaiwalla coffee stall was you? Just kidding. For me, JB is not the second best city in Malaysia. It is only a city for Singaporeans to shop at the weekend or during the festive season because the price of petrol and other necessities is much cheaper from Singapore. That causes the prices of some food and necessities to be more expensive than in Kuala Lumpur.

Your comment will make many Penang people angry and it is valid. Penang is the 2nd best/advanced city in Malaysia, rightfully so.

U are right
How long did you both from Singapore to Johor Bahru? I will do it next month, oh god i can't wait to trip😅

Been to KL, Penang, Ipoh, JB, Melaka. My preference will be KL, Penang, Melaka. JB & Ipoh not much to my liking but its still ok.
It is misleading to say the "Coffee is 8 Ringgit". After adding Taxes and Service Charge the price is much higher.
I have to say that some places to charge extra for service. Some place you can get coffee for only 1.5rm though
