Seven new eateries are coming to AEON Mall Tebrau City in Johor Bahru between November 2026 and January 2027. Two are open now, and the rest follow in stages. Specifically, the line-up includes Nasi Lemak Shop and NakNak, a Korean fast-food brand. The news comes a week after AEON Mall KL Midtown opened in the capital.

The Tebrau mall sits inland in Johor, away from the border. Meanwhile, many Singapore visitors start their trips on the Causeway, where queues are forecast for 20 and 21 November. Its food floors also draw families from across Johor.

Here is what is open, what opens next and why the dates matter. However, opening months come from a food-guide listing published on 12 November. Brands may shift them, so check with each outlet before you go.

BatterCatch is open at unit S23 on Level 2. It is a Singaporean chain selling British-style fish and chips, with halibut, haddock and barramundi. Notably, the listing says it holds halal certification. We have not seen the certificate.

Zok Noodle House is open at unit S26, also on Level 2. Meanwhile, it serves Hong Kong and Macau-style food. Its dishes include dumpling noodles, pork bone broth noodles, wonton noodles and dim sum.

The dim sum menu lists shrimp dumplings, crab roe siu mai and golden custard buns. Furthermore, the listing says the brand was founded in 2011. However, it gave no prices.

The listing says nothing on Zok’s halal status. Therefore, Muslim diners should ask the outlet first. In contrast, BatterCatch is the only one of the two with a stated halal claim.

Nasi Lemak Shop is due in November. The listing calls it a Kuala Lumpur outlet. Its signature dish is nasi lemak ayam goreng berempah, with sambal kerang and mee siam also on the menu.

NakNak follows in December. It sells Korean-style fast food, including 100% beef burgers and fried chicken. In addition, its boneless chicken thigh comes in soy garlic, gochujang or cheese sauce.

What AEON Mall Tebrau City openings mean for JB trips

The openings add choice for diners in Tebrau. By comparison, SKS City Mall sits minutes from the checkpoint. Tebrau is further out, so visitors will likely drive.

However, that could change once the RTS Link opens. Still, a trip to Tebrau would need a further transfer from the station.

The listing gave no prices, so budget claims are unverified. Likewise, it gave no unit numbers for the later openings. Moreover, it did not say whether Nasi Lemak Shop has opened yet.

In short, AEON Mall Tebrau City has two eateries open and five more due by January 2027. Nasi Lemak Shop is next, in November. Check each outlet’s dates before you make the trip.
