Home cafes are all the rage these days, and why not spend the weekend cafe-hopping around your neighbourhood? While the charm of a quiet nook with artisanal coffee and a cosy aesthetic can be irresistible, discovering these hidden gems nearby can turn a simple weekend into a mini adventure. We personally have been to some of the best home cafes, each with its own unique vibe — some even have pets lounging around, adding to the warm, lived-in charm. So grab your favourite book or a friend, and let your weekend plans brew close to home.
21. Cross the border for a day of fun at JB
Make the most of the long weekend by crossing the border for a fun day (or overnight) trip to Johor Bahru! With Labour Day on Thursday and the option to take AL on Friday, it’s a good time to escape for a quick getaway. Spend your day exploring the vibrant shopping malls, indulging in mouthwatering local cuisine, or discovering exciting attractions across the Causeway.
