This is also my First Time trying out the KTM ETS (Electric Train Service) Railway Train that started Service in JB Sentral back in December 2025. Back when it first opened, the Hype was Real and EVERYONE booked Tickets until ็ๆปก.
Hahaha as usual, no hurry for me lah, I can't wait to see how it fares almost 1 year later.
Quite a Beautiful Train this ETS. I can't wait to enjoy my Faux "Japan Hour Train Ride" Experience!

About Malaysia Kluang ๅฑ ้ฎ
Located in the State of Johor, according to Wikipedia, the name Kluang originates from the Malay Word Keluang, which refers to a species of Flying Fox or Fruit Bat that was historically abundant in the Region. I thought that was an Interesting Bit of Trivia to know.

This is my Very First Time to this Town and just like Most Singaporeans, my Only Impression of Kluang is certainly of the Famous Kluang Coffee. From what I understand, there seems to be 2 Particularly Famous Locations for it:
The 1st is of course the Famous: Kluang Rail Coffee
According to this Online Article from The Star, this is apparently regarded as Malaysia's Oldest Railway Coffee Shop. Certainly one of the 1st Important Location for Every Visitors to Kluang.

Also known as Television Brand Coffee, it was established back in 1966 in Jalan Mersing.
I thought the Most Iconic Symbol they have here is that Metal Pot and Cup they have here.

But is that it? Is Coffee only all that Kluang is Famous for?
Come Join me in this 4-Days Food Holiday Trip where we will slowly explore and Uncover as Much of Kluang as I possibly can! I can't wait to explore this Beautiful Malaysian Town!
Alright thats all so far. Thanks for Reading! ๐
Do look forward to my Upcoming 1st Post of Kluang on 5-November (Thursday)!

Hi Ryan, enjoy your trip to Kluang. Reach there must try the rail coffee and toast. The famouse mouse shape mooncake Yuen Fatt bakery. There are 2 or 3 more old school traditional bakery selling tua sar piah. And Kluang got Singapore Chicken rice ( Malay restaurant ) and ๆฐ่ฎฐๆตทๅ่ตท้ชจ้ธก้ฅญ this is good.
ReplyDeleteI logn time didn't go Kluang too. Those day Television brand cofee is good but now like not so fragrant anymore. I think they change name already.
Taking ETS business class?
Ya hahaha I look forward to that Yuen Fatt Shanghai Mooncake u mentioned. Hahaha so cute can eat Mooncake at this season. Thanks for the heads-up for the chicken rice shall try to fit it in my itinerary. ๐ No la Kluang quite near so ETS I take normal. Next time go further maybe Biz ba.
DeleteYuen Fatt Shanghai mooncake all year available round but sometimes finish early or long queue. With ETS, kluang town now very busy with tourist.
ReplyDeleteETS economy class the seat quite cramp but ok lah. But for big size people not suitable. Their biz class seat more spacious but the food not nice, portion so small and coffee so watery. Only thing good is biz class got their own toilet.
Nice. also can't wait to try Haikee and Hoekee sio Bak. Tiagong both also famous. tbh transport and accomodation for me is secondary. since I satu orang solo also no need to splurge too much. spend less on these, spend more on food ๐ maybe long distance then splurge more for comfort lor
