Anyone know where in johor bahru can't i set up a barbeque for a big group / medium group of people?

Danga bay?

I dont understand. You want to setup or you want a place/restaurant that have barbeque function to cater your group?

just a place i can set up to bbq

1) Rent community hall

2 ) Got friends/relatives staying in condos/apt?....many have BBQ area at lush common area. usually near the pool.
get them to book use of facilities under their name

community hall...? do we need to pay anything for it? any nearby community hall?

community hall.= balai raya.

Depends on where is convenient to you n frens.
usually, got a few balai raya in every taman/ housing area.
of course kena bayar...but fees quite cheap

i went and search... seems like they din mention about the renting fee for bbq...

U rent the hall ..then u set up ur BBQ at open area outside of hall...can ?

oh, they let kah?

I don't see why not.
All the kenduri for wedding...also like dat ...cook with firewood outside the hall.

Any idea if its illegal to bbq at residential padang?

so in the end where did u have ur BBQ? pictures are appriciated
