Budget dining in JB

Hawker Centres

There are quite a number of Hawker centres across Johor Bahru. Hawker centres are basically a collection of pushcart vendors plying their trade in one area. Food and drinks are relatively cheap in these areas. Among the more well known Hawker centres are as follows:

* Medan Selera Meldrum Walk, along Meldrum Walk - this pedestrianized street stretches between Jalan Siu Koon and Jalan Stesyen and runs parallel to Jalan Meldrum and Jalan Wong Ah Fook, right in downtown JB. 90 food and drinks stalls to choose from, all serving Malaysian (Chinese, Malay, Indian) cuisine. The disadvantage is that the tables and chairs are all in the open air.

* Taman Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre, off Tebrau Highway (3 km north of JB, near Crystal Crown Hotel). Doesn't look like much, but very popular among locals and Singaporeans alike. Get here before noon, as most stalls close after the nearby wet market winds down.

* Johor Jaya Hawker Centre located across the road from Daiman Bowling mall.

* Danga Bay Bayleaf Food Park. The latest venture in waterfront development, Danga Bay houses a fairly well-run food court with a wide selection of food all fairly reasonable priced. Enjoy the view of Singapore while you dine.
