Johor Jaya Open Food Court — Restaurant in Johor

This is a Stretch of Road situated right next to the Hoong Kong Boy Kopitiam that opens Every Evening. When its in operation, the Road is completely closed off to Traffic and its an Open-Air Dining Concept. Such Eating Areas are also known as "大排档" (Dai Pai Dong) which is a term borrowed from Hong Kong to roughly mean an Open-Air Food Stall.

There are over 50 Food Stalls and I've tried my best to take photos of Every Food Stalls available when I was there. I may have the Most Comprehensive Up-To-Date Photo Collection of ALL the Food Stalls in this Food Street available online so far on my Facebook Blog.

This Food Street is Primarily Focused on Food only. There are no Shopping or Retail Booths available. The place is also relatively well kept and maintained. I hardly saw any littering.

How to Order your Food:

Go to the Food Stall you want, order your Food and Pay for it.

They will ask you where you sit. There are no actual Table Numbers so just Agar Agar tell them which direction you are seated at.

You will be given a Metal Tag to put on your Table.

Once you put your Metal Tag on your Table, feel free to go to other Food Stalls to order more Foods. All of them also use this Metal Tag System.

Once you've done ordering, just simply wait for your Food at your Table for them to be delivered to you.

When you've finished eating, you can just leave the plates and walk off. Someone will clean up the table.

I LOVE the Ordering System here and its Very Easy and Convenient and especially so for a Solo Diner. The Metal Tags are used as an Official "Chope" system so you don't have to worry about leaving your Belongings Unattended while you look for more Foods to Order. No one will disturb your Metal Tag or take your Table as long as you have it on your Table. Perfect!

Type of Food Stalls Available:

While most of the Food Stalls are Focused on Local Chinese Foods, I did see 1 Malay, 1 Indian, 1 Vietnam and Some Thai Food Stalls. There are No Exotic Food Stalls. The Most Exotic Food Stall I saw was a "Duck Egg Char Kway Teow" stall.

Prices for the Food Items mostly range from RM8.00 onwards, with some Stalls selling Items that are RM2.00 or Below, depending on the item.

Tips and Tricks:

1. Best Time to come here I feel is between 5.00pm to 5.45pm where ALL the Food Stalls are open, and there are still Plenty of Tables and Seats available.

2. There are No Restrooms, but you can just go to the Nearby Hoong Kong Boy Kopitiam or other Nearby Kopitiams if you need to use the Restroom.

3. I don't recall any Stalls selling Alcohol, but there will be People walking around asking if you want to buy any Drinks. I reckon they will also sell Alcohol. I didn't try this because I didn't buy any drinks. But I reckon even if they don't sell Alcohol, you can again go to any of the Nearby Kopitiams and buy your Alcohol from there.

4. Because this is an Open-Air Food Street, I have no idea how it will operate if it starts Raining, or if it will even be available if it Rains so you do need to be prepared for this.

It's quite an experience to be able to dine in an Open-Air Environment like this with Multiple Stalls available. Just the Atmosphere, the Sights, the Smells and the Sounds really contribute to an Exciting Dining Experience that we can hardly see in Singapore!

Because this is Open Daily, and the Prices are Regular JB Food Prices, this is Legit how the Locals enjoy their Daily Dinner here. Its not just a One-Off Weekly or Monthly Event. Prices here are actually pretty much Regular Food Prices in JB with no particular Mark-Ups so it is Affordable.

There's something about Dining in such a Rustic Open-Air Environment makes it that Extra Special. So if you have never tried Dining like this before, do give it a try.

Anyway, if you happen to be around the Johor Jaya area during the Evenings, come swing by, soak in the atmosphere and enjoy yourself! Highly Recommended!

This was my first time visiting Johor Jaya Open Food Court, and it honestly felt like a lively night market. I went on a Sunday afternoon and was surrounded mostly by local people. Despite the crowd, parking was well-organized, and I found a seat pretty quickly.

There’s a wide variety of food to choose from: Singaporean, Thai food, Western options, and more. I tried a mix of things. Prices were reasonable. Also, don’t forget to explore the surrounding area: there are some restaurants and stalls nearby, with AC, toilet and great food at good prices too.

I’d recommend this spot if you’re looking to try different types of street food or just want to hang out and...
