We were satisfied with the foods here!

I had a chat with the Chef - Mr E S Mani (one of the partner), he was actually a Chef in one of the restaurant at Singapore sometimes ago, and now...he would like to serve the similar quality food from S'pore in Johor Bahru. Anyway, I'm convinced!

The clean environment of the Cafe

Mr Kumar (the boss) will take care the cafe, and preparing the drinks for customer. He made a very good Mango Lassi!
"In various parts of Pakistan/India, mango lassi is a cold drink consisting of sweetened kesar mango pulp mixed with yoghurt, cream, or ice cream. It is served in a tall glass with a straw, often with ground pistachio nuts sprinkled on top. Mango lassi is most commonly found in Pakistan/India. It is widely available in UK, Malaysia and Singapore, due to the sizable Pakistani/Indian minority, and in many other parts of the world." Source from Wiki.

I missed the Lassi but ordered a Teh Tarik and it's equally good!

I did recommend to some of my friends to dine in this cafe, one of them was also a owner of a Thai Restaurant before, he commented the Lamb Chop was Perfect!
Other friends also gave their Thumb UP after tasted the foods.
Do give it a try if you happen in this area, I believe you won't regret! :)
Hurry! Their special price gonna end soon!

A Day At McDonald's Skudai, Johor Bahru.

I drop by this McDonald's Restaurant (N1°31.384' E103°40.703') for a drink one day, what a coincidence that I meet a group children having party around the area......


Curiosity of me found out they are from Macroview Child Care Center at Taman Daya, Johor Bahru. This was one of stop for their yearly trip (The center will organize such trip for all the children annually). I was told by the friendly principles (Mr & Mrs Tan) that the Child Care Center is taking care children from 3 to 12 years old.

Hey! Wait for me!!

I felt rejuvinated while I mix with all these children, there were so happy playing around the area. Their voices & laughing were fill up the restaurant with full of happiness!!
Children will not feel hungry around there, because....once you feel wanna eat something, just ask the coupon from the principle! That's easy! But strictly no Toys!! Haha!


Once they filled up their stomach, the teachers will arrange them to visit the kitchen of McDonald's. (This was one of their program)

The manager patiently arrange the team to visit their kitchen

The area is big enough for the group of children and also other customer. As you can see the group were separate from the customer area to prevent any disturbances.

Who were there........
Pictures of the happy children & their teachers.....





After about 2 hours later, they are queuing up to leave and prepare for their next stop.....





I didn't follow them to the next stop, but.....thanks for the joyful moments!!

I did ask Mr Tan about the reason to chose this McD Restaurant than others.....he said that the air-condition here is cold enough and the staffs are friendly. I agree with him!
