Johor Premium Outlets

Johor Premium Outlet ( JPO) officially launced by Malaysia prime minister at December 11 2011. There is some 80 designer and branded stores including Armani, Burberry, CK, Coach, DKNY, Lacoste, Levi's, Michael Kors, Nike , Raph Lauren, Timberland, etc.  Besides outlets they have some dining places like Starbucks, Kampachi Japanese Restaurant, The coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Crispy Crepe and a food court with varieties of foods ( including chinese, japanese, Malay and western foods)

Review:

After visited the outlet i'm kind of dissapointed with it, some of the stores price is not as cheap as expected and it's more expensive compare to Cabazon Premium Outlet in California. Besides that some stores didn't turn on their air conditioning, it's very uncomfortable and lack of oxygen inside(saturated with people )

It took me about 3 hours + drive from Kuala Lumpur to JPO, it is very easy to reach.

Direction to JPO from Kuala Lumpur:

 From Kuala Lumpur take the Plus NorthSouth Highway

Exit at ramp (Exit 253 ) toward South Senai, Nusajaya, Ulu Tiram.

Then take next exit to Senai airport and Ulu tiram

you will saw a big Johor Premium Outlet signboard on the left, just follow the signboard and turn left to the premium outlet which is 1 km from the signboard.
