A Mediterranean restaurant located at the basement of Orchard Central. They serve Spanish, Morrocan, Turkish, French, Italian and Greek dishes at a reasonable price. Like Marche, a card will be given at the entrance and is used to order the food.

Medzs offer a wide array of international beverages (beers and wine) and a juice bar for fruit and vegetable blends.

Johor Bahru

friends Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Johor Bahru is the capital city of Johor in southern Malaysia. Johor Bahru is the southernmost city of the Eurasian mainland. Pasir Pelangi, the royal village, is located within Johor Bahru. With a population of approximately 900,000 in the city, and nearly 2 million in the metropolitan area, Johor Bahru is the second largest urban area in Malaysia, after the national capital, Kuala Lumpur, and its associated Klang Valley region.

Going to JB is an hour (plus few minutes including 2 immigration stop-over) bus ride from Singapore (Kranji Station). We crossed the pedestrian bridge from JB Sentral to City Square Mall to have lunch at Sizzling Stone Grill. At around 1pm, we went back to CIQ 2nd link to catch a bus to JPO (Johor Premium Outlet). The travel time to JPO from JB Sentral is approximately 1hr.

JPO1 schedule

We took the 5:30pm bus back to JB Sentral after few hours of window shopping. Dinner at Nando's ended the JB trip and a little grocery shopping for the friends.

Bintan Indonesia

Bintan Monday, April 09, 2012

The beach is one of the few things I miss about the Philippines. Just a few minutes drive and you get to relax, forget about work, and enjoy the sun and the sea. Beaches are quite rare here in Singapore and are way too far from the ones we have back home. The good side of being here though is being able to explore the beaches of other countries - Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia.

For the past few weeks, we've been so tied up with work and some paperwork on the side. And the beach has been calling us to sit back, relax, and get a massage. Finally, the long overdue weekend getaway has come, and off we go to Bintan.

Bintan Agro Beach Resort - offers a birthday package (you can actually avail of it even if it's not your birthday) that includes breakfast, dinner, and a choice of either massage or water activity. The package rates range from 129-150sgd. A 2-hour (busted a/c) ferry ride, an hour drive to the resort from the port, then we reached our destination. The staff are friendly and accommodating; the place is clean; food is delish, and the massage by the beach is relaxing.
