Johor Bahru - Avengers, Shopping and Culinary

I actually cannot wait till tomorrow (May 1, 2012) for the Premiere of The Avengers in Singapore, as most of my friends keep asking and chasing to book and watch this ultimate movie. However, knowing that it will be definite packed of Kiasu Singaporean, in which they will definitely booked the ticket 2 to 3 days in advance, Me and my 3 other friends decided to go to Johor Bahru, Malaysia to watch that Movie.

I took bus from Bugis - Johor terminal, where located at Queen Street. With just SGD2.40, i can reach Johor directly. Riding the bus for around 45minutes. i reached the Johor Bahru Custom (named Sultan Iskandar Sultan Ismail CIQ) around 12PM and straight away we went to Cathay Cineplex @ City Square level 5 and bought the tickets for 2.45pm shows, in which the shopping center just location right beside the custom of Johor Bahru. Pretty packed with some booking and counter purchase for the movie on that day, but we manage to get 2 couple seats for only RM50 (RM12.5 each = SGD5). Well, i pronounce myself as kiasu than Singaporean now, because i watched in early than you all. Lolz.

Back to our journey, making our 2 hour-free-time more useful before the movie starts, with an empty stomach and starving mood, we went to eat the famous Kam Long Curry Fish Head outside City Square, where located only 2 blocks from the shopping center along Jalan Wong Ah Fook. But unfortunately, despite the hot weather on that day, we actually have to queue for about 20 minutes because it was full house (as always) before we can sit and wait for another 10 minutes for them to serve the curry fish head on our table. With just a medium size of that, 4 of us have fully filled our stomach. After that, i bought some Centrum Multivitamins because they have promotion going on and Australia Black Mores Omega-3 fish oil at the Pharmacy nearby because they are much cheaper than Singapore.

After the movie ended around 5.20PM, we continue our journey to Padini Concept Store, as they are having a mid year Sale up to 70% store-wide from April 25 to May 2, 2012. Ended up i bought 1 slipper from Padini Aunthentic and 1 shorts from P.D.I., and the girls bought few shoes from Vincci and some Vincci accessories. Continued our culinary journey to McDonald's, eating our most favorite Ayam goreng McD. Because sharing is caring, 4 of us ordered a total of 3 sets of Ayam Goreng McD to share (6piece in total) with small drinks and fries included.

Half full, we continued the culinary journey to Kim Gary Hong Kong restaurant located at B1 in the City Square Mall, right below McDonalds and Padini Concept Store. we ordered our most favorite Ying Yong drink, with Nissin noodle, Kim Chee Ramen, and Pork chop baked rice. Chit Chat and gossip-ing around until 10.30pm, we decided to go back to Singapore.

What a fun-shopping-movie-culinary day to spend with good friends around. Looking forward for another road trip to another place. :)
