3 DAY 2 NIGHT RECOMMENDED

 Due to the recently viral “The Sea Horizon Resort”, It is better to visit Kota Tinggi, Johor to plan 3 days and 2 nights by car. We will go in detail about the unique resort later.

 

Let’s Start Our Journey! DAY 1!

Starting of our day with a nice breakfast at Restoran Loong Foong. The most famous here is the quicksand bun dim sum, the filling of the salted egg pops out of the mouth, which is super satisfying. Not to be outdone, the taro paste bun is full of fragrant and rich taro fillings, which is so satisfying!

Tucked away in a discrete housing estate, the exterior is not hard to miss. You will usually see a long queue forming in front of the shop to order the steamed dim sum.
Be prepared to wait a long time for a table if you catch them at their busiest.

Must tries:
- carrot cake
- cheong fun (they have char siew and prawn flavours)
- custard bun
- lor mai gai
- siew mai

Some tips:
- if you didn’t go alone, get someone to find a seat first. You can start ordering drinks and some fried stuff from your table.
