Kluang is one of the main town of Johore. If you're heading to pontian or Johore Bahru, you may consider for a detour to this town and find some interesting places to add extra fun to your holiday itinerary.

1. Laman Pesona Street Arts
This is probably the longest street art in Malaysia. Artists express their feelings & hidden messages through painting their master piece of works at walls.
The old and rotting walls behind the streets have been repainted with a lot of impressive images and pictures.
They're implying some messages for the public awareness.
Taking a selfie with beautiful walls will show your great appreciation to their passions and talents.
This is one of the attraction that you shouldn't miss. Bring home with some precious pictures before they're gradually ruined by rain and bad weather.

4. Zen Xin organic farm
By paying only RM 14.20 per adult, you can walk into the organic farm with a professional tour guide accompany. This is an awesome organic with a lot of interesting setup within its compound.
Tour guide patiently explained each and every section to us and enlighten us with the function and use of each herbal plant.
The most exciting part is the raspberry farm. Millions of raspberry farms lining up neatly at the piece of field and stretch out as far as it's.
You can freely walk into the farm and pluck & taste the raspberry to sweeten your day.
I was really too excited as this could be my first and foremost experience sighting the raspberry farm. It's too unbelievable!
5. Shopping Malls
If you've nothing to do at night, do visit Kluang Shopping mall.
Don't underestimate this mall, it has all the retail shops as good as the standard of the KL ones. There's a supermarket at the ground floor in case you need some groceries during your stay. In fact, there is a very outstanding food court at lower ground, it's supposed to be an old kopitiam place design. Unfortunately, it was under renovation and to be re-opened in 2019.

5. Botak Curry Mee
This curry mee is really so superb. It's run by a lady with their very authentic curry recipe. The soup base is very tasty and rich in coconut milk (Santan) fragrance. Although it's served in a small bowl, it will be good enough to satisfy your crave and leave you a feeling that you'll surely return for 2nd bowl.
The curry mee is topped with few thin bbq meat slices, tofu puff, and bean sprouts. They don't need many ingredients as sides. Simply a basic curry mee will be able to make you speechless!
Still can't figure out why it's called BOTAK.
Address: Jalan Panggung, Kampung Masjid Lama, Kluang (Mengkibol River Hawker Centre)
Tel: +60 16-951 4916 (Botak & son's Jalan Kampung Paya shop)
Hours: 7:30am to 2:00pm
6. Shangrila Ice Kacang
Behind the botak curry noodles stall, there is a dessert station selling some mouth-watering cold dessert to ease your thirst. Their signature is ABC Ice Kacang dessert. It's really refreshing and you would be surprised that the ice texture is very different from the common ABC that you have elsewhere.
The ice flakes is super fine and it melts immediately in your mouth. You can't even bite any hard ice cubes or rocky ice which will trigger your tooth nerve pain.
Strongly recommend.
Location : A-68 Jalan Panggung, kluang
Contact : 019-7667320
OTHER INFO
7. Glutinous Rice Ball @ The Dessert Street
Just right beside the ice kacang stall, you will find another dessert stall selling some traditional Chinese sweet soup like red bean, barley, green bean, sweet potato, ginger rice ball.
Personally, I was really impressed with their rice ball ginger soup. The skin of the rice ball is very thin and soft, and it seems like dissolving in your mouth. With the toasty peanut filling, it's really a perfect combination.
Location: Jalan Panggung (Opposite shangrila Ice Kacang)
Biz hour : 9am - 3pm
8. New Kluang Food Court
Many kinds of local food stalls can be found here. You will be very indecisive to pick the right one as all stalls look equally nice and delicious. I'd chosen fried rice, claypot pork rice & Fish Ball Soup. All were good and scrumptious.
To specially highlight the home made fish ball. It's really spongy and you can really taste the freshness of real fish meat.
Also the claypot pork rice. We used to try chicken claypot, but surprisingly, pork claypot rice is awesome too. Well marinated pork rib with mild scotch rice. All the fragrance trapped into a claypot. So wonderfully yummy.
Business Hour : 24 hours (Closed Sunday)

9. Kluang Railway Coffee Shop
This is the most famous coffee shop in Kluang. If you're not coming here, you're said never been to Kluang.
This is an old and historical coffee shop beside the KTM railway station. That's why it's called railway coffee shop.
They're selling some local breakfast like nasi lemak packs, Bihun Bungkus, Toast, Pastries, & Beverages.
Everything looks very tempting and you mustn't miss any of those in this place. It's a very authentic coffee shop and the house-made drinks are impressive too. Try their signature coffee, toast and half boil eggs.
It's a place that leaving every Malaysian a feel of coming HOME.

10. Tong Huat Confectionary ( Local Biscuits )
Bring home with some popular local biscuits from Kluang. They're having their own store and recipe to produce their house-made biscuits brand and you can rest assured that there is no other branch elsewhere. This bakery shop has been running few decades by few generation.
Their shop is still a very traditional Chinese bakery shop, no fancy nor modernised display. Yet, the biscuit has been sold out everyday and people are just queuing up for their authenticity. There're 2 types, sweet and savoury. I prefer sweet one, more soft and fluffy. But savoury one is always the most demanded one.
