Parking: 1st Hour Free. 1st 2 Hours Free (for AEON Members) Rm 1 for whole day.

There are many entrances and exits to the car park, and they are situated on all sides of the Mall.

What we like:

Very patient, friendly and helpful service person at the Gelato Counter. She offered sampling when we were unsure what to order.

There is a promotion for Chinese New Year period. (please see photo). Each cup contains 2 scoops but limited to one flavor per cup for this promotion. The prices are also lower than usual prices (please see photo).

We tried the Pistachio flavor (Premium) and it came with half a Macaroon (too crispy). I like the smooth and creamy taste with generous amount of chopped Pistachios.

At SDS Classic, it is a cake house & a cafeteria. They also serve western and local cuisine. 

As we sat there enjoying our Gelato, Mrs Tea suddenly say it will be a "Huat" year for us. 
Puzzled, I asked her why. 
She pointed that there was a "horse" with a newly dyed reddish mane, eating sushi in the restaurant in front of us, how not to "Huat ah!" ?

I have not tried the food and plan to try on next visit.

Trying out new bread from Verbena Bakery in Kulai

Trying out new bread from Verbena Bakery in Kulai.

Verbena (Main)

Read more at my previous post: http://neutea.blogspot.com/2013/07/verbena-patisserie-shop-and-verbena.html  for Address, Map and other varieties of bread.

What we like:

English Carrot Muffin Rm 2.80

We like this very much. It is soft to touch and moist on the inside without being oily. Can see the carrot bits in the photo, some spices and there is a faint, fragrant cinnamon smell with every bite till the last morsel. 

"Yokohama" Sweet Potato Bread Rm 2.30

This bread has been recommended by many FB Friends from FB Group [吃的平台]. 

External look not attractive but upon opening it into 2 halves, the "treasure" is revealed. A good portion of sweet potato filling that tasted just right in sweetness and softness. There are some big, whole red beans too. 

It is a bonus if one subscribes to the benefits of consuming charcoal bread. 

Mrs Tea like this.

(Pelangi Outlet) 

68, Jalan Serampang, 

Taman Pelangi, 80 400 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia 

(opposite Destino Bridal Studio )
What we like:

水煮肉片Rm 26.00

One can choose the level of spiciness upon ordering. We ordered 加辣, while it was spicy and salty, it lacked the aromatic flavor that leaves the lips tingly and slightly numb when tasted (麻) from peppercorns 花椒. I plan to add it on my own on my next visit. 

The portion is reasonable for the price.

What we like:

招牌焖炸面线 Rm 5.00
Fried Sliced Fish were really fragrant and fresh tasting, without the oily or fishy smell. Crisp on the outside, juicy on the inside. I find this taste to be delicious and rather unique, not found elsewhere till date.

The Stew Fried Mee Sua / Mian Xian 焖炸面线 looks like brownish Yee Mee 伊面, but lady boss say they are not the same. She got these from Melaka.

What we don't like:

Kopitiam can be too warm for comfort, depending on where one sits and the day's weather. The air cooler is only effective for one to two tables.

Parking lots are limited during peak hours.
