Johor Bahru, located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, has a rich culinary history influenced by the diverse cultures that have contributed to the region's development. Historically, Johor has been a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and to a lesser extent, Arabian cuisines, each adding its unique flavors and techniques to create a vibrant food scene. Malay cuisine, with its use of herbs like lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and spices, is a backbone of the local food culture. Chinese immigrants brought their noodles and soups, while Indian spices and bread like roti canai have also left their mark.
