Going abroad is fine, but please also try a nearby place like Melaka. I was there on Christmas Eve.

Plenty of makan and shopping to do. And in S$ terms it is damn cheap, wey. That is how I ended up buying a pair of Oakleys which cost so much more in KL. It is genuine stuff, OK?

Melaka is .

I used to go Johor very often, almost once every week during weekends, to a small town call Yong Peng. It's only about 1hr drive from the JB checkpoint. Very nice and cheap food there. Can even venture a bit up to Batu Pahat, which is about 45min from Yong Peng. A bigger town and quite a number of shopping malls there

Used to be cheap there.. but now v commercialised liao.. n with the current situation in johor... nayy... nvr been to johor for ages liao..

Yong Peng is a bit bigger I think. 'Da Ma Hua Yuan' is a district in JB whereas Yong peng is a town in Johor.

JB also not bad. Got lots of good and cheap food

Yalah, one must be a bit more adventurous. Belum cuba, belum tahu. Lepas cuba, hari-hari mahu.

For seafood, one of my favourite is Yew Meng Restaurant in Kulai, a small town about 30km-40km from Tuas 2nd link. Good food and cheaper than in JB.

I'm quite familiar with Kulai. Use to send my car for repairs there . Real cheap! Is this restaurant open-air?

Yes, open air. I'm not sure how to point out the exact location. It has shifted twice since 2000. But to very nearby location only. Turn off the main rd somewhere near petronas.

I think I know which one you talking about, and yes, they serve very good and cheaper food than JB. JB is closer to Singapore, so naturally things also become more expensive

Hong Kong

Lai ah... list the best countries for food, shopping, accom, etc...

Hong Kong's a great place for eating and shopping. For food, there's dim sum all day, superb wantan mee, fresh sashimi at great prices and variety (proximity to Japan helps). And for shopping, well, there's just lots of things to see and buy. And given the current exchange rate, HK is a winner!
