If you’re planning a trip to Johor Bahru and want somewhere that lets you makan, chill, and snap a few photos all in one place, SBS Food Fortress is worth adding to your list.
Tucked inside SBS Resort Permas, Johor, this lively open-air food hub brings together more than 30 food stalls serving everything from local favourites to Western comfort food, with main dishes starting from just RM9.90.
The food is undoubtedly the main attraction, but being located within the resort means there’s more to do once you’ve finished eating.
The family-friendly park has plenty of open space, ample parking, and attractions ranging from colourful photo spots inspired by cherry blossoms to giant inflatable play areas and ATV rides.
Best of all, entry to SBS Resort Permas is free, so you’re welcome to stroll around and explore before deciding if you’d like to try any of the ticketed rides and activities.
There’s plenty to satisfy different cravings here. Sakura Steamboat stands out with its dreamy pink-and-white sakura-themed dining area, where you can enjoy steamboat and barbecue beneath blooming artificial cherry blossoms.
Seafood lovers can head to Haji Teo Seafood for hearty dishes like black pepper crab, fish head curry, and comforting lala soup, while Snow Grove serves local favourites and sweet treats including laksa, cendol, and Korean-style bingsu.
If you’re after lighter bites, Ninik’s Crispy Chicken dishes out boneless ayam gunting, cheesy sausages, and crispy fries that are perfect for sharing. You’ll also find Western classics at Hi Dive, local staples at Nasi Ayam Penyet & Lok Lok, refreshing ice cream and float drinks from Leaves, and desserts, beverages, plus shisha at Gate Cafe.
Located around a 15-minute drive from the Johor Bahru checkpoint, SBS Food Fortress is an easy stop for both locals and Singaporean visitors. Those taking public transport can hop on the J21 bus from JB Sentral and walk to the resort.
