Things to do in SKS City Mall in JB<\/b><\/h2>\n\n

Time and time again, the pull of JB has proven to be far too irresistible whenever us Singaporeans fancy a short getaway from the humdrum of our 9-5s. A stop at the various head spas in JB<\/a> serves as the perfect mental reset, while a feast at any one of the city\u2019s night markets<\/a> is bound to satisfy the food critic within.<\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s another reason to swing by our neighbour\u2019s \u2013 SKS City Mall <\/b>is JB\u2019s newest shopping haunt, and as of writing, most of its tenants have already moved in and are happily welcoming visitors. Here\u2019s what we saw on our trip to the mall this May, along with opening promotions to make yours even more fruitful.<\/p>\n\n

How to get to SKS City Mall?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n

\"SKS<\/p>\n

Getting to SKS City Mall is easy; it\u2019s located just a 7-minute drive<\/b> from the JB checkpoint<\/b>. In fact, Google Maps doesn\u2019t even give public transport recommendations if you\u2019re setting off from the customs. If you\u2019re choosing to travel on foot \u2013 the 1.3km walk<\/b> from the customs should take you roughly 20 minutes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

If you ask us, we\u2019d recommend taking a private-hire vehicle, as with getting anywhere in JB. On Grab, prices for a ride to SKS float around RM5-6<\/b>, which comes out to slightly under S$2<\/b>. For even more convenience, opt to travel with Grab\u2019s new cross-border taxi services<\/a>; for about $110<\/b>, you can board a cab from your doorstep and alight anywhere in JB, including SKS City Mall.<\/p>\n\n

\"Palates<\/p>\n

Serial cafe hoppers, you\u2019ve got another spot to add to your list in Palates & Bagels<\/b>, as they\u2019ve just opened their 4th outlet on Level 1 of SKS City Mall.<\/p>\n

\"Palates<\/p>\n

No prizes for guessing what they specialise in; for something light, go for their fluffy bagels (from RM6)<\/b> which come in flavours like Black Truffle<\/b>, Sweet Potato<\/b>, Mixed Sesame<\/b>, and our favourite: Garlic Cream Cheese (RM10)<\/b>. For brunch, their Truffle Mash with Poached Eggs (RM24.90)<\/b> will definitely hit the spot, while the Smoothie Yogurt Bowl (RM24.90)<\/b>\u2019s an excellent option if you\u2019re eating clean.<\/p>\n
