Japan Street @ Johor Baru City Square, JB

Japan Street @ Johor Baru City Square, JB

City Square has been putting in effort to enhance the variety of food within the mall. The rooftop dining area at level 6 of the mall has definitely created new dining experience to the patrons. Other than the food court for local delights, City Square has recently brought in Japanese element into the rooftop dining area. The Japanese Street is located right next to the food court.  

Applying the concept from the food court, patrons who would like to dine in in the Japanese Street have to first purchase a cash card and top up with the amount sufficient for their meals. Then, go to your desired stall and start ordering the food that you want. There are approximately 7-8 stalls along the Japanese Street, offering different types of Japanese cuisine, e.g. sushi, bento, teppanyaki and ramen. If there is any balance left in the cash card after the meal, it can still be redeemed. 

After placing the order, the stall will give you a electronic device, the function of which is similar to the UFO device in most of the Taiwanese dessert shops. However, this is more interesting with a screen that we can watch a short video while waiting for our meals to be served. 

Bibimbap  RM12+ 

Haha, it is odd to order Korean cuisine in Japan Street, but it isn't a bad idea to have something different within the street, so everybody's craving could be easily satisfied. Out of our expectation, the Bibimbap actually tasted not bad. It is definitely a healthy choice with various of sliced vegetables placed on top. The meal is also served with a miso soup.

Kyoto Tokumori Sakiga Ramen RM29.50+

There is a ramen specialty stall in the Japan Street, which sells authentic Japanese ramen. They serve both pork and chicken ramen, and we chose for chicken ramen this round. The chashu is made from chicken, but the taste was not defeated by pork chashu. Judging from the colour and thickness of the broth, it is not hard to understand why the broth tasted so good, it has absorbed all the natural sweetness from the pork bones and ribs. And, it is generous to have two onsen tamago within a bowl!

The springy ramen.

A panaroma view of the Japan Street, as you can see, although Japan Street is operated in hawker concept, the overall environment is still very cosy with the wooden furniture and warm lighting.

Johnny Rockets @ Forest City, Fisherman Wharf Island 1, Johor Bharu

Johnny Rockets @ Forest City, Fisherman Wharf Island 1, Johor Bharu

Johnny Rockets is an international restaurant franchise which offers high quality american burgers. It is founded by Ronn Teitelbaum on the belief that everyone deserves a place where they can escape from today's complicated world and experience the uncomplicated goodness of classic Americana.

Johny Rockets operates in 26 countries, including Malaysia. In the southern part of Malaysia, there are two outlets respectively at Country Garden Danga Bay and Forest City, both operates within the Urban Food Hall which consist of other food outlets e.g. FRANCO, The Library Coffee Bar, Q CAFE and The South East.

Although the business model of Urban Food Hall is more towards the concept of food court and Johnny Rockets is under the same roof with other food stalls, but Johnny Rockets does not compromise the quality of the foods.

The Urban Food Hall's ordering system is centralised, which the patrons can place their order for different stalls through the i-pad platform. Since we are here for Johnny Rockets, let's go directly to their menu. Pictures of the dishes are displayed on the i-pad and the interactive system actually allow patrons to customise their order, for example: you can change the normal french fries with sweet potato fries, put a remark in your order to exclude lettuce and etc.

Coke Float

Burger is best matched with coke float. But, this was not icey enough and we actually requested extra ice to make it cooler.

Captain MBO Burger Combo  RM25.45

This is a seasonal item in their menu. The Captain MBO Burger Combo is served together with fries and the coke float. I am very much into this burger because the beef patty was very juicy and complement well with the savoury sauce.

Route 66 RM19.60

This burger is named after the iconic and carefree American Highway. It is topped with swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms, onions & mayonnaise. This fan-favourite is named after the infamous highway in USA,claiming the spot as an authentic American Burger.We topped up RM2.90 for a sweet potato fries. No doubt, its taste greats.
