IOI Mall Kulai food guide

When we’re in Johor Bahru, most of us tend to frequent Mid Valley Southkey and KSL City to shop and makan. For a change, consider heading to IOI Mall Kulai, a newly renovated mall that’s a 40-minute drive from the Tuas Checkpoint. In this food guide, we’ve curated the 10 best places to get fried chicken, comforting Japanese ramen, cheap hotpot and more.

The current exchange rate is RM1 = ~S$0.30 as of 7 May 2025.

IOI Mall Kulai Has A Kid-Friendly Cinema, Fashion Stores & F&B Options, Just 40 Minutes From Tuas

1. Nando’s

Nando’s is no stranger to us: this restaurant chain, known for flame-grilled marinated chicken, has six outlets in Singapore alone. You can also find them at IOI Mall Kulai, serving the crowd-favourite PERi-honey Chicken Thigh Bowl (RM23.90), which features chicken thigh on skewers slathered in honey and yuzu sauce, paired with edamame and fresh seasonal peppers on Mediterranean rice. Another popular pick is the PERi-Mac & Cheese Bowl (RM18.90), which is essentially macaroni topped with fried crumbs, pulled chicken, and cheese. Otherwise, since the restaurant specialises in chicken, you might just want to go straight for the Chicken Wings with Sides (from RM27.90), namely Chips, Garlic Bread, and Chargrilled Veg.
