Explore JB - Taman Sutera

 
We went on a 2 day one night trip to JB. To this area in JB called Suteria.
If you see the map there, it is a small area with one shopping mall and plenty of café and restaurant.
Our main aim is to try the escape room that was recommended by our colleague.
 
We stayed in this Hotel Suan Bee. Nothing fantastic but was cheap.
 

 
We set off on 15 Dec 2017, meet up at Woodlands interchange at 8am, board the bus 950 to Woodlands checkpoint. Clearance in Singapore Custom was slower than in Malaysia. We had our breakfast at Old Town City Square, then we proceed to take Grab to Taman Suteria.
 
There were many café and restaurant in the area. We couldn't check in to the hotel as check in only started at 2pm. We went to explore the place. First, dessert at Moonlight Cake House.
 









 

 
Suteria Mall. Not a big shopping mall.





 
We make reservation for 2 escape room under Lost in JB the haunted house. I saw the other escape room was more popular as weekend slot were fully booked. Anyway, compare to the other escape room. This is a must try!
 
LOST IN JB The haunted House

 Must play. The rooms were scary.
We played "Her Soul", "Survivor" and "Before Midnight" on our last day. "Before midnight" was the scariest I felt. We entered a Chinese funeral room. The first clue already scare the hell. It suddenly blackout which was not expected. Then, we had to transport ourselves to the other room by lying in the coffin. The last room, we had to shoot the painting and then followed by sudden drop of props.





 
How not to be fat? We tried the Korean BBQ.





 
Breakfast
 
 
Next morning we came to play Escape Room in Suteria Mall.
As mentioned earlier, this is popular and booking is a must!
Our first game was "UP" at 11am. The staff told us we could only play the game at 1110hrs. After double check with them again, they said that the third game we booked cannot be played as the room was beyond repair, and we could proceed to play the "UP" room. We could not complete it.
 
Next game was Kungfu. This we managed to complete. Game was in Chinese.


 
Another café which was cosy.




 
Lunch time...
Tried this UFB restaurant


 Said to have the best pork steak but not so nice actually.
The lamb chop tasted not bad.
