Lost Malaya

Lost Malaya

Artistic hub overlooking the Straits

To the benefit of this unassuming city, many Johor Bahru pre-war locations have been left untouched, Lost Malaya among them. An art gallery-cum-lounge housed within a double-storey colonial bungalow overlooking the Tebrau Straits, Lost Malaysia was founded by husband-and-wife team Chris Thompson and Alisa Lamlertkittikul. Art and photo exhibitions by local talent are held regularly in the gallery (including that of Chris’ who is a professional photographer who’s worked for The Amazing Race Asia and Biggest Loser Asia), while the lounge upstairs offers a sunset backdrop to beer drinking. Complementing the art house vibe is the JOHO Concept Store. Headquarters for a group of young, local designers JOHO is also a hub for lomo and fixie enthusiasts.

Lost Malaya has some of the cheapest beer deals in town. Carlsberg/Tiger goes for RM49.50 nett for a bucket of 5 bottles. Finger food. A dish of chicken nuggets, calamari or fries (RM7.90-12.90nett) goes down well with beers.
