Greetings from Dublin.
More investments are coming into the hospitality industry in Iskandar Malaysia from domestic and foreign players within the next three years, which will add 3,000 more rooms in the region.
I would love to see more upmarket places (especially restaurants) in nearby areas!

Nice meal at PapaRich
We went for a nice relax dinner last night at PappaRich in Sutera area, followed by a big tub of frozen Yoghurt from tuitti fruit shop next door.

PappaRich is a local Malaysian joint, similar to Old Town Coffee, which serves local classic dishes such as Laksa, Ipoh Horfun, Char Kuey Teow, Toasts and more. The 4 of us ordered chicken chop, laksa, asam laksa, char kuey teow, chicken wings, teochew siew mai and bee hoon. I did not really like the assam laksa as it was too fishy for my liking, but the rest of the food was quite nice and inexpensive. The total bill was around RM120.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing. There are plenty of board games and magazines for patrons to use and read. It was very fun to play Zenga again!

Unlikely for S'pore, Malaysia to merge Lee Kuan Yew - Channel NewsAsia
"Najib has brought forth a positive view of bilateral relations and the desire to develop southern Johor, the Iskandar region, using Singapore as a kind of Shenzhen. (This) means a complementary set of forces will be let loose, which will make it unprofitable for either side to be unfriendly," said Mr Lee.
