Free & Easy Malaysia - Johor, Melaka, Expenses, 5D4N July 2022

 

Roadtrip from Singapore to Melaka in July 2022

Roadtrips are one of my favorite way of travelling because i can plan my own itinerary, be away from the crowds and enjoy many hidden places that cannot be explored by public transport.

Would really recommend to do road trips whenever possible~

This trip includes spending 2 nights at Johor Bahru as a stopover at the beginning and end of the trip so that we can directly leave for Melaka the next morning and rest in JB before heading back to Singapore.

Trove hotel Johor Bahru

We managed to book at hotel for quite a low price of RM98 (about SGD30) per night at Trove hotel Johor Bahru, it was a last minute booking with Agoda.

The room was quite big and clean, but it is not really near any malls.

would still recommend the hotel if you stay here for a night or 2 in JB.

Free & Easy Johor Malaysia - 3D2N Desaru trip Westin

Roadtrip to Desaru Coast Malaysia!

 This is one of the first few trips after the Covid restriction eases.

Decided to go on a 4D3N trip to Johor Bahru Malaysia. 

Spending 1 night in Johor bahru and 2 nights in Desaru coast!

We left Singapore after work and spend the First night in Johor bahru area.

Stay at Fives hotel and also  tried the Japanese wagyu BBQ in JB!

Explore Singapore: Singapore Zoo River Wonders and Ku Kai Izakaya

Spending a day at Singapore Zoo and River Wonders

Some where during Covid period after some of the covid rules were removed, we visited the Singapore Zoo and river wonders.

It has been quite some time since the last time we visited, so went there to see what changed and just nice we have complimentary tickets.

The Zoo, River Wonders and Night safari (Mandai Wildlife) are all located quite a distance away from the bustling city area. and Now in 2025, bird paradise (bird park) is also relocated here in Mandai, however it will be too rush to visit all 4 parks in a day, so it would be good to choose based on your priority or schedule at least 2 full days.

Experience the history and culture of Tea in Singapore

Wanted to try and experience the chinese tea culture in an old cozy shophouse in Singapore, we chanced upon this tea cafe near chinatown.

The Teahouse is located in a three-storey shophouse and the place was really cozy and clean with elegant eastern style furnishing.

You can signup Tea appreciation workshops to learn more about tea and sample different kind of teas here. (you will have to reserve this in advance with minimum 2 participants)

(do note that there is a minimum spending of SGD$9 per pax)

It is also better to make advance reservation!
