Hi how about starting a forum for shopping in JB? Below r some of my own encounters...sharing with u guys. Pls add on so we can all get great deals at better prices compared to Singapore. 
1) City Square
A must go when u're shopping at JB. Houses brands like Mango & has tons of shoe shops! I went there a few weeks ago n theres a store that sells fashion somewhat similar to Zara. Lest to say, i got crazy when i saw it. Bought a really cool pair of shades...u know those that r really in now n they r so cheap! Only RM20!!! Also wanted to get a white bag with lock clip too (think the white bag Philips Quek has in the show "Run, Men") but i didnt. Sigh...what a waste! That store also stock young & funcky wear like those at Far East & work wear. City Sqaure also has Jean Yip. A facial i think cost RM70+. Should b a rather good price since its Jean Yip. The most up-market shopping centre in JB, in my opinion. Oh yes, dont miss the Jap food there. Good atmosphere, good food, n good prices (RM40+ for 2 ramen n croquette).
2) Holiday Plaza
This is a must go for DVDs n VCDs. There r so many stores there selling the most recent movies, some not even out yet. Theres also HK dramas, Jap cartoons, Korean drama, Friends, Sex In The City, ....softwares...games for PC & Playstation2. Be sure to check the quality! TO get past the security at the checkpoint, drive. Otherwise, if u're taking the bus, theres a scan that detects all metals, so dont risk it if u're not driving.
For fashion, its rather similar to those at Far East. Hipster pants, ballerina shoes, tank tops, ya u get the idea. Not really my kind of style, so nothing to say abt it. N oh, plenty of shoes!!!
3) Komplek Lien Hoe aka The Store
The place is huge but not really going coz theres almost nothing there. It used to be the place to go but it seem all the shops have "disappeared". The last time i checked it out (abt a week ago) it was under renovation. Hopefully some investors will wise up the place. Its still good if u want bargains for household items like ur bread & butter.
4) Pelangi Mall
The 2nd most up market shopping complex in JB...thats what i gather from the net. Haven been there yet but heard from a friend its quite like Jurong Point. Compared to the other shopping centres in JB, think its still good even though its like Jurong pOint. Shrug...will check out the place next time.
