The crowds still descend, but these days the capital of Johor state draws visitors for a variety of other reasons. Even in-the-know foreign tourists to Singapore slip across the 1km-long causeway for a change of scene – undeterred by the traffic jams.

When Lanshu Chen, chef-owner of Taichung French restaurant Le Môut, won the Asia’s Best Female Chef award in 2014, some industry observers credited her with putting the city, and even Taiwan, on the world culinary map.
