Best Churros in Johor Bahru (JB)

Salted eggs have been making waves these days and it sure work wonders with churros too. Having said that, no one does it better than The Replacement Lodge & Kitchen, housed in a noteworthy and spacious building along Jalan Dhoby. The churros are second to none, giving a resounding, crispy bite that leads to a fluffy inside; not to mention the addictive ochre-coloured sauce that keeps you binging all the way. Not a salted egg person? Pick your choice amidst Nutella, Gula Melaka, Peanut Butter, Mixed Fruits, Vanilla Ice Cream, homemade dark chocolate ganache, and caramel. Are you weak at knees already? Hold on to something, because another praiseworthy bite will be their Dark Churros, which is studded with rich cocoa. Gather your sweet tooth convives and try them all in an Instagram-worthy ambiance. 

Not in the mood to hit the streets, but your belly begs for a bundle of churros? Drop the worries as piping hot churros with assorted toppings come wriggling at your doorsteps, thanks to House of Churro. Expect thick, doughy batons draped with crusty ridges, then dusted with sugar. Watching your favourite program on the couch with the delightful dessert, life is good. 

What happens when regular dessert temptations decide to go hand to hand? Petals & Bakes has brought churros onto a whole new level. Imagine blocks of deep-fried waffle churros, abundantly adorned with cinnamon sugar and coupled with chocolate or salted caramel. The rugged surface of the waffle gives an additional element of texture and dipping in the addictive sauce is to die for. It’s the perfect indulgence after a long day at work or when your palate needs an excitement to kick start. Now stop imaging and steer your wheels to the charming cafe. 

Cold pressed juices and hearty meals are not the only stars at Friends & Fig, a new contender to the cafe scene. It would be insane leaving the comfy space without delving down their churros. The fried-to-golden fritters are drizzled with chocolate sauce and accompanied with a bowl of cookies & cream ice cream topped with mixed berries. The texture of the latter ticks all boxes- airy, crispy on the outside, as well as dense and soft inside. White-washed furniture, chic lightings, and pleasant hospitality creates a laid-back respite from all the bustle of life. Also, balance out your guilt with a couple glasses of cold pressed juices.

Long strands of fried dough with crackling crunch and pillowy inside is dusted with sugar, then liberally showered with chocolate lashings.
