Kluang Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Affordable and Delicious seafood in Desaru 🍤

#summerfest #desaru A great place if you are craving delectable seafood without paying so much. Desaru Seafood Corner served fresh seafood and we spent RM270 for crab, prawns, cockles, tom yum soup, kangkong and tofu. The restaurant is brightly lit, clean and spacious. The highlights here had to be the huge mud crabs, lobsters, and freshwater prawns. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner here at Desaru Seafood Corner. The seafood was cooked to perfection and we thought all of the dishes we ordered were stellar.

Century-old Traditional Bakery Pengerang

Pengerang is an area at the southeastern tip of Johor, to the south of Desaru. Kedai Kek Lim Choo Seng is the most famous traditional bakery in Sungai Rengit, Pengerang, Johor. It was founded more than 100 years ago by the family Lim Choo Seng. The bakery now is run by the 3rd generation carrying on the family tradition. The production process is a family affair - everyone is involved in the production chain. I love their Tau Sar Piah (Savoury Mung Bean Paste Biscuit), handmade Lao Po Bing ("old wife cake") and Egg Rolls with Peanuts, really yummy. With only two main streets, it was not difficult to find your way to the shop which is opposite the only Marybrown fast food restaurant in town. Address: 56, JALAN BESAR, Kampung Sungai Rengit, Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia. Ambiance/Facilities: 8/10 Highlights: Affordable traditional Chinese biscuits, pastries, and snacks Rating: 4/5 #pengerang

Famous Railway Coffee Kluang

This is the iconic coffee shop in Kluang. It has been around since 1938 and recognized by the Malaysia Book of Record as the Oldest Railway Coffee Shop in Malaysia. Their first shop is located at the KTM Kluang Railway station. My dad used to bring us there for breakfast. I remember we like to use the saucer to drink milo because it’s too hot. Our typical order was kaya butter toast and half boiled eggs. Now they have a bigger branch in the town area. Their menu simply features local favourites such as Nasi Lemak, Mee Siam, Mee Rojak, Mee Rebus, Curry Puffs, Pulut Panggang and more. Delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommended to enjoy the “lim kopi” culture in Kluang. Address: Jalan Stesen Kluang Ktm Komuter Station 86000 Kluang Johor Highlights: Local foods and drinks Ambiance/Facilities: 8/10 Avg.

Breakfast at Kluang Rail Coffee ☕🍞

This traditional coffee shop was founded by Lim family in 1938, located at Kluang railway station with the nostalgic ambiance, reasonable price, you can enjoy varieties typical Malaysian breakfast here, Kluang Rail Coffee is best known for its traditional Hainanese coffee (made from locally grown Liberica beans) and its toasted buns (roti bakar) served with a rich slather of butter and kaya. My favorite are nasi lemak and coffee, sambal nasi lemak is very tasteful & aromatic, coffee has a nice medium body, not too bitter and balanced with a little sugar, it's a nice way to get the needed caffeine for the day! The breakfast & lunch hour are very crowded, to avoid long que, i went there quite early about 7.10am. Open from Tuesday to Sunday (closed on Monday) 7:00am - 6:00pm. #staycation#deliciousfood

The prices here are affordable starting from as low as 1.70RM. Do try the Meesiam and Nasi lemak. All their items are already packed and there is nothing you can add.

Kluang Mural Street

Kluang is also famous for its Kluang Coffee, and one of the 3-D art painted on the road is a painting of a cup of the brew. People will of course take the obligatory photo of standing or sitting in the coffee cup. Kluang is of course a rail town as well. It is believed there has been a malay village here since 1910 and the British in 1915 set it up to act as an administration centre for Central Johor. The Kluang train station is located right in the town, and an important stop of the West Coast Railway back in the day. This rail heritage is celebrated with a 3-D image of a KTM train emerging from a tunnel, painted onto the road. Laman Kreatif Kluang is a good attempt by a small town to encourage tourism to its vicinity and also create an interest in art among its population. If you are in the area, why not drop in and take a stroll? #besttrip #urbanexplorer

Gunung Lambak, Kluang

Gunung Lambak is a mountain located in the state of Kluang, Johor. It offers a view of Kluang Town at the summit. Actually Lambak (which means Flea Mountain) has twin peaks (the lower peak stands at 470 meters whereas the highest peak is at 510 meters). It was an 'easy climb' and required moderate exercise. The first part of the trail before you hit the jungle treks is fairly easy as it is paved with concrete roads and is not very steep. The second part of the trail is the start of the jungle trek, and it consists of a clear pathway of steps and railings to guide you upwards until you reach the mid-section. The last part of the hike from the mid-section will definitely challenge your fitness level as the path is steep with soil and tree roots as your stepping ground. The whole process of ascending and descending the climb to the summit would take approximately 4-5 hours. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. No admission fee nor permit is required to climb Gunung Lambak. After hiking, you can buy fresh fruits and fruit juice from the fruit stalls at the recreational park. I particularly like this stall, the lady was super friendly and welcoming. The fruits she offered were fresh and sweet at very affordable prices. #mustvisit #kluang
