Tucked along the waterfront and camouflaged by semi-detached houses and condominiums, is Kampung Senibong. It is a vllage in Permas Jaya, Johor Bahru. This area has may seafood restaurants. Looking across the waters, is Singapore. The view at night is beautiful. This place is very secluded however. The roads that lead to it are small and narrow. Best way through is by car, I reckoned.

Usually when people who travel to Kukup for seafood or durian little to they know that there is a place, Tg Piai, which is the southern most tip of the Asia Continent. The local or tourism board of Malaysia try to promote it but guess not very successful. It is like many mangrove areas in Malaysia coast line if you are a nature lover you might spend half a day for bird watching or enjoy the calmness of the mangrove breeze.

If you want to know more about the locals and their lifestyle... Visit Pasar Borong Pandan.
Here the locals get their groceries and some daily necessities.
Prices of fish and poultry are relatively much more cheaper here compared to the supermarket. Some S’porean also shops here.
Pasar Borong Pandan is a wholesale market that opens in the evening till around 2.00a.m.
If you want to go to Pasar Borong Pandan you will have to take the road to Kota Tinggi if you are coming from J.B Town via Woodlands Checkpoint.
You will reach Pasar Borong Pandan before you reach Carrefour.

Being the oldest Chinese Temple in Johor Bahru, Johor Old Temple has been the most popular temple for the prayers in southern Malaysia or even Singapore for years.
Despite the religion issues, the architecture of the temple itself is one of the attractions which worth for visit.
The temple is located at Jalan Trus, the old street of Johor Bahru, close to Kotaraya

Take a short walk at Stulang Laut (Jalan Ibrahim Sultan), enjoy the breezy evening.
You might have some local food at the local restaurant or some street vendor, you might see someone enjoying water sport or alternative water activities, and you might some student after the school hour during the school day..... this is the lifely experience of Johor local life.

What are they doing?? Treasure Hunt???
May be you are right, they are hunting for clam. There are people catching clam at Stulang Laut seaside sometime in the late afternoon.
You can join them if you think it is interesting. What you need is just a short and net.

maybe you has visited Lido Beach.. did anyone mentioned you about this monument? if you don't.. it's okey.. most of the local also did not aware of this monument. This obelisk commemorates martyred servicemen of the First and Second World Wars, and the Emergency (confrontation with Indonesia in 1962).

Pasir Gudang is not a place for tourism. It is an industrial area with some major oil and gas companies, huge production plants and a port.
There is also a very very big golf course with much greenery around. Beautiful grounds indeed.
If you happen to be in Pasir Gudang, there's a "Orang Asli" settlement with several seafood restaurants along the coast. Best of all, all the restaurants are built on stilts above the sea water. "Orang Asli" are the natives of Malaysia and they have their own language. They live in houses built from wood along the coast. Some of them have their houses floating on the sea.
Seafood here is relatively cheap. To get there, one will have to pass through an oil palm plantation along a muddy path. The drive would be quite dark and I think one will not go if not familiar. Furthermore, there's a stretch of bumpy, unkept path to get there. Maybe you might give up getting there at night if you have never been there before.
At the restaurants here, do not expect superb service. These are just family run restaurants. Sometimes you can will have to wait for quite some time for your food to be served if there are too many people.
Here, you choose the fish, prawns, etc from ponds built on the sea (not fish tanks). Quite interesting to people from the city. The seafood here are very fresh and delicious. Best of all, still quite cheap (May2004).
