City Square is basic but ultra-convenient.Literally the very first shopping mall you see right after you clear immigration at JB customs, and it’s still the best-known and most popular of the JB shopping malls. It’s not really great for shopping; most Singaporeans come here to eat and watch movies. That said, you can sometimes snag cheap and legit ...
Like City Square JB, KSL City Mallis another JB shopping mall that should at least sound familiar to most Singaporeans. It’s about a 10-minute Grab ride or drive away from customs. KSL City Mall is massive compared to both City Square and Komtar JBCC, and it has a very eclectic mix of tenants including lots of Miniso-type barang barang shops. If yo...

But does our IKEA have an entire mega shopping mall attached to it? I think not. IKEA Malaysia’s massive Tebrau outlet is connected to ashopping mall attachment called Toppen JB. It’s a 4-storey mall tha...
Another major Aeon shopping mall in JB—seems like Aeon is the CapitaLand Mall of Johor?—that would be of interest to westies is Aeon Bukit Indah, which is only 20 minutes’ drive away from Tuas Link. This allows you to sidestep the horrible traffic around Woodlands checkpoint, on both sides (Singapore and JB). Plus, Bukit Indah is just a lot less… m...
Okay, this is quite far away from the JB city centre and requires quite a bit of travelling (at least 40 minutes by car). But if you love designer clothes,Johor Premium Outlets is a must-visit factory outlet. It’s the closest thing we have to one of those American-style factory outlet villages. It feels like a perpetual Club 21 sale here. In fact, ...
So I’ve covered the 10 best JB shopping malls for overall shopping, but if you’re looking for special items or just sheer novelty, here are 5 more standouts.
Here are a few things you should remember. GST-free import limits: Whatever you buy from JB and dapao back to Singapore is considered an “import”, and is therefore subject to GST. You can bring in up to $100 per person of goods without paying GSTif you’ve been out of the country for less than 48 hours. If bringing home more, you need to declare it ...
