Is sitting down in an overpriced coffee shop the ideal date? Probably not, if you’re looking for an eventful day. Surely your significant other would prefer a magical day filled with activities to do, which is why we’ve got a lively and fun date itinerary all planned out just for you. All you’ve got to do is just ask them out on a date, and the rest is covered. You’re welcome.
Lifestyle store: Nokta
Our first stop is Nokta, a cosy lifestyle shop with a small home cafe in Ara Damansara. If not, they are open Friday to Sunday 12 pm to 6 pm, with their usual goods and cafe. Explore their space with your significant other.
If you’ve got time afterwards, you can walk around Ara Damansara Park, which is 5 minutes away from Nokta.
Operating hours: Fri-Sun 12 pm to 6 pm
Address: E-2-28 Block E Taipan Damansara Jalan PJU 1A/3M Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia 47301
Workshop: Ruang Cipta
If you or your significant other have creative souls, why not create something together and have a physical memory of your day-out together? Ruang Cipta (also located in Ara Damansara) holds many workshops for your creative juices to flow; they’ve got tufting, mosaic coaster-making, and punch needle workshops. There are choices of either pre-scheduled sessions or private bookings and events. Also, Ruang Cipta shares a space with Mika Coffee Roaster Cafe, so there are treats to purchase in case anyone gets hungry.
Operating hours: Wednesday-Sunday 12 to 6 pm
Address: DG-28, Medalla @ Oasis Corporate Park, Jalan PJU 1a/2, Pusat Perdagangan Dana 1, 47301 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Photobooth: Hana Film
New photobooth spot alert! Is it really a date if you don’t take a photobooth picture together? First in Selangor, Hana Film now has a store in Lot 10. With over four differently-themed rooms to capture memories in, this is not your average photo booth. You can choose between the Dining, Kitchen, Vintage Lift, or Classic room—which allows you to turn your video into a 31-page pocket flipbook. Perfect excuse to keep pictures of each other in your wallet.
Alternative options: rüne studio, Dear Memories, Solace studio
Operating hours: 10 am to 10 pm
Address: T22 Level 3, Lot 10 Shopping Centre 50, Jln Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang
Dinner: House of Wheat
We understand if you’re tired of expensive yet mediocre food recommendations; but House of Wheat is a worthy spot that won’t hurt the wallet. Situated in Chow Kit, this beautiful spot serves delicious food, specialising in sourdough. We recommend their Blueberry Cheese Chicken Burger, which sounds odd, but the sweetness of the blueberry pairs perfectly with the savoury chicken; you’d be surprised at how good it is. With a beautiful and cosy interior, this is the perfect place to end your eventful day and debrief on how the date went. Any complaints? Any memorable moments?
Operating hours: Mon-Thurs 8:30 am to 7 pm, Fri-Sun 8:30 am to 10pm
Address: 15 & 17, Lorong Tiong Nam 2, Chow Kit, 50350 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
