Hey Everyone,
Continuing my Exploration of Western Johor Bahru and stepping away from Gelang Patah for abit. ๐
Today's JB trip brings me to a Brand New Location: Iskandar Puteri ๐
Greek Cuisine and a Whole Smorgasbord of Korean BanChans anyone? ๐
Iskandar Puteri is perhaps more recognizable to Singaporeans as the Suburb where Legoland Malaysia is located. ๐ Again, I'm not sure if this Area still counts as Johor Bahru tbh, ๐ค and seeing how large it is, I reckon its going to take awhile for me to really explore it in the Years to come. ๐
Hahaha Westies Singaporeans, you guys are eating Good thats for sure! ๐
Interestingly not a Crowded Suburb though even on a Sunday when I explored, I don't think I see any Singapore Cars around. ๐๐ค Perfect for a Relaxing Weekend Exploration! ๐ Hahaha Westies, all of ya'll just longzong head straight to the More Popular Bukit Indah and ignore this place is it? ๐
Focusing on Northern Iskandar Puteri where I explored (Horizon Hills + Senadi Hills Area), the whole place looks to be leaning more towards trying to be a More Upmarket Atas type of Residential Neighbourhood with Clusters of Gated Landed Houses ๐️ and Multiple Condominiums. ๐ข No doubt seeking to attract Foreign Investors and Buyers. ๐ค
This is especially so in the Horizon Hill area where in terms of F&B, I saw Italian, Istanbul, Mexican, Japanese and even Greek Restorans all clustered together. ๐ณ Its quite amazing to see quite literally a "Mini United Nations" ๐ Group of Restorans offering Different Foreign Cuisines together like this that I don't see in other parts of Johor Bahru. ๐

Here are some Highlights of Today's Trip:
First up is Mykonos which is a Greek Restaurant. ๐ฌ๐ท I've never been to Greece or eaten Greek Cuisine before ๐ค so when I saw this as I explored, I jumped at the chance to try! ๐
Even before stepping into the Restoran itself, I was already floored by an Adorable Replica Boat ⛵ and a Beautiful Classical Fountain at its Courtyard. ⛲ Adorably Impressive.
The Interior is renovated to probably look like the Seaside Town of Mykonos. ๐️ Really Quiet Place though even on a Sunday when I visited. ๐ค
Ordered a Few Unique Sounding Dishes: Moussaka, Gemista and Souvlaki. Hahaha Souvlaki I've heard before but never tried before so it was really quite a Privilege! ๐
I'm Culinarily Impressed at the Usage of Feta/Cottage Cheese that interestingly didn't feel Jelak. ๐ง Totally appreciate and finally understand the use of Olive Oil in the Dishes. ๐ซ Really Delicious and actually rather Healthy too. This is the Country that literally invented the Olympic Games after all, and after tasting what they eat, I totally get it. ๐ Really Well Made.
All 3 Dishes cost a Total of RM134.20 (about S$43.00) which I feel is worth the Money. ๐ Honestly I'm not sure if they are Authentic or Not, but I really enjoyed them and this was a Wonderful First Introduction to Greek Cuisines for me. ๐ฌ๐ท๐
Next is Good Box, a Korean Restoran. ๐ฐ๐ท Even though Korean, the Interior don't stereotypically look Korean instead adopting a More Contemporary More Faux Atas Euro Classical Style. ๐ค It is owned by an Actual Korean Lady Boss ่ๆฟๅจ. ๐ง (Very Hardworking Lady as you can see, even as a Boss, she ownself do Cleaning one. Respect.) ๐ซก Rated 4.8 Stars out of over 2000 Google Reviews, they are quite Popular for their Fried Cutlets from what I read from Google Reviewers. ๐
Indeed once I tasted their Fried Cutlet, I totally understand why. ๐ While it is not as Super Light and Airy like a Japanese Tonkatsu, it is still Light and Airy with the Fried Panko delightfully melting away in my Mouth. ๐ Also, I ordered only 2 Items (Cutlet Plate + Kimbab) and I'm served with a Whole Smorgasbord of BanChans (Side Dishes) as you can see. ๐ณ Hahaha my Goodness! ๐
The Final Bill comes up to RM83.05 (about S$27.00) and I feel the Quality is worth the Price ๐ and considering the Cutlet Plate + Roll of Kimbab and a Total of 10 BanChans. Hahaha simply too much Food for 1 Person and of course I had to Dapao. ๐
Alright and here are a Couple of More Places I visited and a Sneak Peak of the Other Dishes I ate! ๐
Below are the Complete List of Eateries I visited if you are interested. ๐
(Hahaha again yes, I made an Unannounced Surprise Visit earlier in the Month so thats why you are seeing so many of them.
Of course its impossible to eat so many in just 1 day lah.) ๐
