Pasar Seni Picture Show
For cinephile introverts, an indie cinema is the perfect place for you to have a day to yourself. They screen 15 films each month, with their lists available on their Instagram. Their cinema shows classics, artistic, and underrated films, something that you won’t usually find in commercial cinemas. Their intimate setting is ideal for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere than shopping malls.
Operating hours: 10 am to 10 pm, daily
Location: 30, First Floor, Jalan Hang Kasturi Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 50050
Listen Hi-Fi Cafe
This spot not only allows you to have a private vinyl listening session, but it also allows you to do it solo. You’ll get headphones, a turntable, and a wide variety of vinyl records for you to listen to. If you are going solo, it’ll cost you only RM 25. Pair your next coffee, reading session, or work day with your favourite tunes. They also occasionally host book club and vinyl listening sessions, and if that’s perfect for you, look out for those.
Operating hours: Tues-Fri: 12 to 8pm. Sat-Sun: 12 to 10 pm
Location: Level 3, 2 Jalan Kamunting, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur
Beary Potter Studio
Learning pottery is a very quiet, therapeutic, and fun experience. It’s one of those activities that naturally makes everything else fade into the background, as you just focus on gently moulding the clay. Beary Potter Studio provides one-day classes for those looking for the experience rather than the skill, but for the latter, they also have eight-week intensive courses. This is great for those who want to experience a creative activity with the calm ambience.
Operating hours: Thur-Sun: 11 am to 5:30 pm (Closed on Mon-Wed)
Location: 2-43, Bandar Bukit Jalil, Jalan Jalil Utama 2, Bukit Jalil, 57000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Bask
Steppes Mont Kiara has become home to plenty of exciting new spots, but Bask is definitely a cafe made for introverted people. The atmosphere is tranquil with its dim lights. They have cheesecakes that are a feast for both the eyes and the palate with how beautiful they are. Come by to do your work or merely to bask in the serene energy.
Operating hours: 10 am to 9 pm (Closed on Tuesdays)
Location: LG1-05-3A, Steppes, 32, Jln Kiara 3, Mont Kiara, 51200 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Monk
Another recommendation for our audiophiles, this private and intimate space invites you to listen to jazz vinyl records. Inspired by Japanese jazz kissas, Monk welcomes true jazz lovers to admire the music, perhaps with a side of coffee, tea, or cake. Not only does it house over 200 vinyl records, but the ambience perfectly matches the music, with comfortable cushioned seats, warm lighting, and curtains that provide the privacy you need to truly immerse yourself in the tunes. You can reserve seats in advance, but walk-ins are also welcome.
Operating hours: Thu: 6 pm to 10 pm. Fri-Sun: 1 pm to 10 pm. (Closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays)
Location: 41C, Jalan SS 15/4, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
