[2025 Sekudai Attraction] Travel Guide for Sutera Mall (Updated Sep)

#summervacay We started the day with a leisurely breakfast buffet at Hotel Granada — nothing too fancy, but comforting and familiar. A mix of local and Western options: nasi lemak, eggs, toast, cereal, and a decent spread of fruits and pastries. It was a relaxed morning, and we took our time over coffee before heading out for another round of cafe hopping. At 10am, we made our way to Layer Bakehouse — a hidden gem nestled deep in the kampung area of Skudai. Despite its ulu location, it was already buzzing with locals. The interior had clean, minimalist vibes, but the highlight was hands down the pistachio basque cheesecake. Rich, creamy, and bursting with real pistachio flavour — it was one of the best we’ve ever had. We paired it with a peanut butter latte and soaked in the quiet morning calm. By 12pm, we were at Capyba Cafe, an animal café with a quirky charm. We ordered our drinks and had to dine in downstairs first (minimum order per person), before heading upstairs where the real fun begins. The staff handed us a little salad cup to feed the animals, and we were greeted by capybaras, alpacas, sheep, and even a pony. It was surprisingly clean and well-kept, and the capybara pudding was almost too cute to eat — almost. At 2pm, we stepped into the magical space that is Lune24 — a glasshouse café that looked like it belonged in a fairytale. Think soft lighting, flowing curtains, floral accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows. We spent a good while just taking in the dreamy atmosphere and snapping photos. Afterwards, we grabbed a drink from Furiku next door — the matcha strawberry yogurt was light, creamy, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. We headed to Sutera Mall around 6pm to do a bit of browsing and window shopping — the usual familiar brands and local shops. Then at 8pm, we wrapped up the night at Bestari Walk, an outdoor container-style food court with lively vibes and neon lights. Rows of food stalls, sizzling woks, street food aroma in the air — it was the perfect casual dinner spot. We walked around, picked a little of everything, and sat under the stars enjoying the buzz of the local night scene. A laidback end to a day filled with soft lights, sweet treats, and Skudai charm.

#summervacay Furiku Matcha at Sutera Mall was such a surprising find. Tucked away in a small corner near the entrance (Shop G‑027a), this little kiosk-style spot brings a whole matcha experience rather than just another drink. You don’t just order from a menu—they let you choose your own matcha strength (easy, intermediate, or advance), your base (we went for the strawberry yogurt), and top it off with your pick of premium toppings. We chose the matcha gelato, of course. What made it extra special was watching the whole process unfold. Right in front of us, the staff began the ritual of whisking matcha from scratch—the bamboo whisk moving in smooth circles in a little glass bowl, the deep green powder dissolving into a velvety swirl. It’s kind of meditative, and it really adds to the appreciation of what you’re drinking. Our combo of matcha strawberry yogurt with matcha gelato was perfect. The yogurt was slightly tangy and refreshing, which balanced beautifully with the bold, earthy matcha flavor. And the gelato? Smooth, rich, and subtly sweet—just enough to complement everything without being overpowering. It felt like a very intentional, crafted dessert-drink hybrid. Outside the mall, there’s something that really completes the whole vibe—a bright red torii gate standing tall near the entrance. It’s unexpected in a shopping mall setting, but somehow works. It gives the place a little cultural charm, like a soft nod to Kyoto streets or a hidden alley in Japan. That little touch sets the tone even before you walk in, and honestly, it matches the quiet elegance of Furiku really well. If you’re in Sutera and love matcha, this is a stop worth making. Come for the drinks, stay for the experience.

On first glance, you would ask yourself why would there be so much youngsters hanging around an old mall like Sutera mall, but you would also quickly realise that they are all heading outside. Right behind Sutera mall is the chill day night market, where you can find shops selling that are from across South east Asia like exotic meat, xxl fried chicken and coconut ice cream just to name a few

This place is located at Sutera at JB- Hock Kee Kopitiam Love the ambiance of this place! This place is so spacious, bright and clean. There are wide variety of food options as well, and I think the prices here are pretty reasonable! I’ve tried quite a bit and will list down what is the must try! 1) Fried mee Siam with Rendang- the fried mee Siam is the best dish out of all from this place! The fried bee hoon is nicely done, not too dry and it’s best to eat with the Sambal! Rendang is good as well, tasty. 2) The charcoal polo bun with kaya. This is nice as well, love the butter in between the bun and the kaya is served at the side, you can dip however much you want. 3) Portuguese egg tart. Can you see how thick is this egg tart? The filling is so smooth and creamy, not too sweet as well, the crust is very crispy. Can taste the layering of the crust. Oh and they also have a wide variety of vegetarian food as well. Bon appetite!

Came by Beutea 茶仙子 @ Sutera at night for a wind-down tea session, and the place has such a relaxing vibe in the evening. With its warm lighting and neat décor, it feels cozy and unhurried — just the right spot to slow down after a long day. I went for one of their signature teas, and it was refreshing without being too heavy, a nice balance of flavor and sweetness. At night, the atmosphere feels more intimate, with fewer crowds, so it’s easy to just sit back and enjoy your drink in peace. Service was smooth and friendly, with drinks served quickly. Prices are wallet-friendly, making it a solid choice whether you’re grabbing something light or lingering for a chat with friends. All in all, Beutea is a sweet little hideout at night — a good mix of tasty drinks, cozy ambience, and value for money. Perfect if you’re looking for a quiet café stop in Sutera. #mytraveldiary #malaysiatrip #johorbahrutrip #tea #cafe

Relatively new playground at Sutera Mall at RM38 to RM48 per kid for 3 hours of play.

🇲🇾I’m usually quite picky when it comes to oyster dishes—if they’re not cooked properly, they can taste overly fishy and spoil my appetite.
.
I’ve never been a fan of Oyster Mee Sua, but after trying the one at Happiness Wheel Cake, it’s now one of my favorites whenever I visit JB. They have several outlets in JB, and this particular one is located in Sutera Mall, Johor Bahru.
.
While their wheel cake is the highlight, I definitely think the spotlight should also be on their Mee Sua—it’s not to be missed!

#malaysiatrip We happened to be in the Sutera Mall running errands and needed to fix our lunch. We walked past this Taiwanese restaurant and it looks promising. We love how spacious and brightly lit it is with the walls of window. The food was pretty good too! We ordered a few dishes to share including the pig intestines mee sua , braised pork rice and a scallion oil noodle. The portion was generous, the seasoning for each dish was just nice and definitely fix our cravings for lTaiwanese food. 📍L2-004 & 005, Level, Sutera Mall, 11, Jalan Sutera Tanjung 8/4, Taman Sutera Utama, 81300 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia

Enjoyed Bantianyao grilled fish at Sutera Mall. We took the buffet add-on for unlimited rice, drinks, bites and fruits. Enjoyed our lunch. They have a branch in SG but cheaper here. Will visit again.

I was walking in Sutera Mall in Johor Bahru. When I was about to leave the parking lot, I could taste the super authentic Northeastern Malatang. This restaurant is famous for its authentic Northeastern flavor and spicy and fresh taste. Every bite is full of spicy hot pot soup base, accompanied by a rich variety of ingredients, from meat to vegetables. Whether you like spicy or light, this place can satisfy your taste. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is authentic, making you feel like you are in the food street of Northeast China. The comfortable environment and thoughtful service make your dining experience more perfect. Whether you enjoy it with family and friends, or taste it alone, this is your best choice to taste the authentic Northeastern Malatang. As a result, when I arrived again today, the store was upgraded 😂 and I couldn’t eat it…

Delicious food ~ Have a fun day and enjoying the food here with my friends and family ~ will come and visit here for our next gathering ～

There’s a fun fare next to Sutera Mall (Johore Bahru) which is fun for the entire family. Address of Sutera Mall: L1-046, Sutera Mall, 1, Jalan Sutera Tanjung 8/4, Taman Sutera Utama, 81300 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia Lots of good food around that area at reasonable price Sutera Mall is also a great place to shop This mall sells lots of tee shirts, shoes and food. Highly recommended

#malaysia I was over at Sutera mall and decided to hop over to this beautiful cafe called Bawang Cha Ji in Johor Bahru. Which kinda blew my mind how pretty it is compared to typical cafes or stores in JB. It felt like I have step into another world. Almost like in Kyoto. Because it was a Monday the cafe was really quiet too. I would have brought my laptop along next time. While Chagee is still quite expensive in Malaysia, I think if it’s dining in at this cafe, I would gladly pay for the price and environment. Because this cafe is unlike those togo shops. (Cafe is outside the mall.)

good #kobe
