Attending a
good friend’s wedding in Johor Bahru? I recently attended my friend’s wedding
held at a local restaurant in JB and was wondering how much money to give for
his red packet. Looking at the popularity of my post on how much money to give for a Malay Wedding, I decided to post on my current invitation to JB as well.
My friend
held his wedding at Pekin restaurant. The restaurant was very well furnished,
and the food was decent. I heard from a fellow guest that this restaurant is a
popular choice among locals for wedding dinner.
I checked
with 2 friends from JB and the first one told me 100 MYR should be enough for a
Sunday night dinner. The second one told me that the 4-5 star hotels and the
relatively better restaurants costs around 800-1000 MYR per table. I am actually
quite surprised by the extent of difference between prices here in Malaysia and
Singapore.
Thus for a
wedding dinner, I guess a red packet of minimum 100 MYR or 40 SGD (give and take
a little) should be good. But of course, always give more in the name of friendship/kinship!
If transport to and from Singapore is also provided
For my
dinner, two-way transport was also provided, which costs 300 MYR for a
7-seater. Thus do remember to factor in the cost for your friend to charter
transport to pick you up.
Hope this
was useful to you!

ReplyDeleteHow much ang pao money to give for a JB hotel wedding? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs an estimation, you can equate the cost for SG hotel to JB hotel, just that the currency differs. In other words, you can take RM 120/ pax for a comparably decent standard hotel that costs S$120/pax in Singapore.
