Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru/Malaysia is a top choice for both business and leisure travelers. Strategically located in the heart of Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru, this mixed-use development is a true oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. 

As I stepped into the luxurious lobby of Capri by Fraser in Johor Bahru, I couldn't help but feel excited about the staycation with my family that I had planned. From the sleek design to the warm welcome from the staff, everything seemed picture-perfect.

But what really stood out to me was its location. I can see some parts of Singapore and also the causeway between JB and Woodlands. I love the ambiance of this place.

As a content creator/ vlogger, io enjoyed documenting this place.  Very convenient. From vlogging our experience to capturing the beautiful scenery, we had so much fun creating memories that we'll cherish forever.

But as we drove away from Capri by Fraser, I couldn't help but feel grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to experience such a wonderful staycation with my family, and grateful for the memories we created together. And with that, I knew that we would be back to create even more unforgettable moments.

Welcome to the Capricious, this is an onsite restaurant of Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru / Malaysia.

The restaurant's ambiance is cozy, modern, and comfortable, with an open kitchen concept, allowing guests to see the chefs in action as they prepare their meals.

Their weekend buffet offers delicious shawarma that is made with tender chicken, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a tangy garlic sauce. This dish is perfect for anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine

Since I have my kids with me, I went to the hotel’s dedicated kids' meals section which typically includes a variety of dishes that are kid-friendly, nutritious, and enjoyable for young diners. The kid's meal section may chicken nuggets, Tortilla chips, fried rice, and other biscuits that surely love by your little ones.

Satay, on the other hand, is a popular Southeast Asian dish that is traditionally made with skewered chunks of meat that are grilled over an open flame. The meat is usually marinated in a mixture of spices and herbs, which gives it a delicious flavor. 

Capri by Fraser Johor Bahru offers a tasty satay that is made with succulent chicken pieces that are infused with lemongrass, turmeric, and other spices. The satay is served with a side of peanut sauce, which adds a creamy, nutty flavor to the dish.

Moving on to the main course, the live cooking stations were a treat to watch. The chefs were extremely skilled and cooked the food to perfection. The Indian section was a personal favorite of mine, and the chicken biryani was one of the best I've had in a while.
