johor bahru day 2 (part 2) -- pasar karat, roost & chaiwalla

a trip to johor bahru (jb) is incomplete without exploring its unique pasar karat/bazar jb (which is basically a huge night market). there were clothes, second hand items, antiques, exotic pets for sale, food stalls and many more. there were also some makciks berkaraoke in public. it was like a very meriah fiesta. 

yummy cheap food.

the antiques.

among other exotic pets for sale.

again, thanks to foursquare, i discovered an indie cafe called 'roost' and it's the coolest cafe i've visited by far. the place is like a modern art gallery. the furniture and the decorations are made from recycled and repurposed materials. how awesome is that! i had their frozen yogurt which was reasonable and yummy. they also have coffees, teas, chocolate drinks and salads. i really love this cafe i felt like staying there forever.

roost.

place your order downstairs and wait upstairs.

yummy frozen yogurt with fresh fruit cuts.

i also went to another popular cafe (also suggested by foursquare) called chaiwalla & co, a container cafe. i had no idea what to order so the cashier recommended that i should try either their famous vietnamese coffee (which was already habis at that time) or thai milk tea. the tea is basically a regular teh susu but more wangi and had an orange-ish colour. it was nice but it's nothing out of this world. later, i found out that they also have a branch at the curve, damansara. 

a container cafe. get it?

thai milk tea.

once we're back at the hotel, i was so frantic cos we're going to singapore the next day and i had not made a proper research about the procedures at the customs. i was also not sure where to go in singapore and how to get to the locations. so cuak ke idok? mesti lah cuak!

we can see singapore from jb!
