Container Gardenstay (集裝箱花園客棧) at Bangkok Village, Jalan Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru

The container concept is not a new concept today, I had seen it almost 8 years ago at Langkawi island, and of course through out the world. But this is the 'first' container garden stay in Johor Bahru! Where the containers are surrounded in the lush of green and I considered as a good place for weekend city escape!

Container Garden Stay (N1.55522 E103.80122) is located in the Bangkok Village of Johor Bahru. The area was a nice nursery and now converted into restaurant, garden and the above mentioned containers...

The check-in process was done in the minute by the friendly staffs, impressed. After we settled the rooms, I requested to walk-around the area for photography purpose...

There are lower and upper cabins for the rooms, and guests have a option for nice garden view or without view.

The staircase is on the left row of the cabins...

This was also part of the single bedrooms located...

On the right side, its the garden view cabins...

A relax and comfort tea area next to the rooms...they provide good imported Chinese tea for their guests, too bad I'm not a Chinese tea lover and can't comment much...

In the middle of the both side, there's a nice corridor for all the rooms. As for me, this was a colourful corridor for photography!

As you can see, some of the room's door are still the container original door which is solid and heavy...

They provide 3 types of rooms which are single bed, queen bed and king bed.
Let start from the single room...

Single room

The attached bathroom is just nice for 'one' person.

Queen's bedroom or double room

Options of garden view (below) or 'no view' (above)...

The King's bedroom with the garden view. The attached bathroom is slightly wider and we understand that it's all in the container, we won't ask for much more bigger room space. :)

The well maintained and nice garden just situated next to the containers...

There's a seafood Thai restaurant situated in the same area, where the Bangkok Village was named by the owner...

The dining area...

The dining area was transformed to a nice, comfort and relax area during the night fall...we had our dinner in the restaurant that evening and I'll blog about soon. Anyway, delicious food!

Beside that, they also serve local food for breakfast and lunch around the containers.

We had a pleasant stayed for 2 days 1 night weekend getaway! Experienced the container stay, which was just enough space for ourselves in the clean and comfortable environment! I will recommend to my friends who want to experience the relax and mind free staying!

Fat Cow Burger at Sun City of Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru.

Burger known as a fast food in most of the country, include in Malaysia. It is widely available at the street side stall of many of the fast food restaurant locally. Actually, it's nothing to shout about and even 3 years old kid also know the taste of burger...

Recently, there's a fast food restaurant which sell only burger as their main course started in Johor Bahru, and it catch my attention immediately. One of the day, company with few friends, we decided to have a try on their 'burger'.

Fat Cow Burger (N1.47653 E103.76856) is situated at the end of the ground floor of Sun City (as known as Plaza Mentari) in Taman Pelangi. The restaurant is easy to locate because it just diagonally opposite the CIMB Bank of Jalan Kuning, Taman Pelangi.

Entrance of Fat Cow Burger

The environment was cooling and 'green'. I like the artificial grass that they decorated on the wall...

It's quite and spacious too, unlike those popular fast food restaurant where always crowded during lunch time.

Their menu was clearly 'written' on the wall...total of 15 different types of burger available. Mainly on chicken and beef.

Our foods served on table pretty fast, and all of us 'surprised' by the sizes and the portions of the burgers!

All the burgers served with the very special charcoal bun, which look like normal on the outside and charcoal inside...

The taste was excellent! I tried all types of burgers on our table and I like their own recipe sauce and especially the fluffy bun! All the chicken and beef patties were really juicy, not too dry. By looking at the photos above, I believe you can feel the juiciness of every patty...
Among all, I love the Fat Cow Palace burger, suit my taste bud very much!

And not forgetting to enjoy the burger by your hands, that's the best way to savoring the yummy yet affordable burgers.The portion was tall and big, we were all overloaded, it definitely satisfy everyone even for those big eater.

According to the owner, they made their own patty, toasted bun and many other sauces. Totally a new experience for us by enjoying the perfect burger in town!

As for the standard serve, you can also option to add on like beef patty, mix forest mushroom, cheese, caramelised onion and others.

Beside their main course burgers, they do have 7 types of side dish. So we tried their chicken wings.

The sauce of the chicken wings had the unique taste, it was special! Another thumbs up!

Appreciated the creativeness by the chef who changed the 'public impression of the burger' and I will be going back for more to try out other burger available in the restaurant!
