If crossing the causeway and exploring Johor Bahru is your regular pastime, you’re probably always on the lookout for new places to makan at. Forget the hassle of travelling to faraway spots like Mount Austin— there’s an outdoor food court called The CaMp 4Season Outdoor Park located just a 13-minute walk from KSL City Mall.
Since the food court has an outdoor concept, I can imagine some of you might already be thinking, “how hot is it going to be?” Well thankfully, it only opens from 4pm onwards. It’s also pet friendly, so bring your furry friends along for the adventure.
With a total of 150 tables, you’ll find several deck tables and chairs spread out among mini palm trees and gravel floors. If you’re lucky, you may even secure a table at the 2-storey hollow tunnel tables that provide some shelter.
When the sun heads to its daily slumber, the whole area is lit up with fairy and LED lights, giving a warm and cosy vibe. If you’re heading there on a Friday or Saturday evening, you can enjoy soothing tunes with live performances by a lineup of singers.
So, what food options are available to satisfy your growling stomach? For starters, there are over 15 stalls selling a variety of cuisines. Let me introduce you to some of them— after all, it wouldn’t be as exciting if I revealed everything, would it?
Ten Lok Curry Scambled Egg Rice offers 6 proteins of your choice, which includes Cumin Fried Pork Belly (RM16), Honey Char Siu (RM16) and Salted Egg Chicken (RM13). You will then be given the option of slathering it with either Nanyang Curry or Mapo Tofu. Complement your plate with sides like Smoked Duck Breast, Ngoh Hiang or Luncheon Meat (RM4 for all).
Mala tang lovers can head to the striking red signboard of Pang Ge Mala Soup Hot Pot with a panda logo. Take your pick from a wide variety of ingredients and simply let the staff know if you would like the soup or stir fry version. Prices range from RM18 onwards.
Swing by Chick Ki Go for an assortment of lip-smacking Korean fried chicken in flavours like Soy Garlic and Honey Garlic (RM15 for 4 pieces, RM29 for 8 pieces, RM43 for 12 pieces). If you’re in a group of 4 to 5, share the Value Set (RM50) which includes 12 pieces of chicken, cheese fries and cheese wedges— super worth it!
Indulge in a range of aromatic grilled seafood at 大马烤鱼 with dishes like Kembong Fish (RM10 for 1), Stingray (RM12 for 100g), Slipper Lobster (RM12 for 100g) and Parrotfish (RM10 for 100g).
Since The CaMp 4Season Outdoor Park is opened till 2am, this is an excellent supper venue, too! There’s also lok lok, Taiwanese delights, la la hotpot, beer and so much more. Be warned though— parking and securing a seat may be challenging during peak periods.
Go check it out and let me know your experience.
