SKS City Mall JBCC sits in Bukit Senyum, right next to the new Sheraton, and it&#8217;s worth a look if you&#8217;re tired of the City Square loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll find Johor&#8217;s first All About Chew, a KL-born bagel caf\u00e9, a proper Japan drugstore (yes, Matsumoto Kiyoshi), and an indoor playground big enough to tire the kids out before lunch. Here&#8217;s the no-fluff guide: what to eat, what to buy, and how to actually get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quick clarification before you Google Map it: this is the&nbsp;<strong>JBCC<\/strong>&nbsp;one in Bukit Senyum, not SKS City Mall Desaru.
