Many Singaporeans, myself included, visit Johor Bahru (JB) for three essentials: food, massage, and karaoke. Even though karaoke is slowly making a comeback (we’ve missed you, Teo Heng), experiences across the border are wildly different. JB, in particular, is home to karaoke joints with some of the most unique amenities and value-for-money packages you can find.
Thinking of braving the jams during the upcoming long weekend(s)? Here are 10 karaoke spots to check out.
1. Music Band Family KTV
It’s easy to understand why Music Band Family KTV was popular with Singaporeans during pre-COVID times — it’s a mere 10-minute drive from Woodlands Checkpoint. State-of-the-art acoustics system aside, you can sing K at a diverse range of themed rooms, including a deluxe VIP room that can accommodate up to 20 people.
Bookings can be made by calling +60 7-333 3666 or dropping them a message on Whatsapp.
