Janda Baik is popularly known as a wedding destination and staycation spot due to its location consisting of lush greenery and fresh air. Even our lovely songstress Yuna got married there last weekend!

But, did you know that Janda Baik is more than that? Besides being strategically located just below Genting Highlands (20 mins drive!), this uniquely named kampung has not only wedding venues and chalets, but also a number of cafés waiting for you to come and visit 
Believe it or not, Kuala Lumpur’s not the only place that has fancy cafés!

It may be an hour drive from the city, but let’s be honest here. We all need an escape from the city once in a while, no? Here are the 3 hidden cafes you can find in Janda Baik:
1. Pinto Coffee+
Pinto Coffee+ is a café that’s hidden deep in the tropical jungle. Don’t let the half-completed exterior fool you into thinking that the building’s abandoned. 
In fact, it was purposely designed that way! The dynamic architecture of this cafe that utilises the open space concept makes Pinto truly one of a kind.

Once you step in, you’ll be welcomed with the sweet aroma of their locally-made coffee and the ash wood tables and benches around to accommodate your dining experience 
. There’s no doubt that Pinto will give you that back-to-kampung feels!

If you’re up for a bite, the nasi goreng telur and the lamb shoulders are must-haves! Everything is homemade, so you’ll feel homely as you take a bite of the succulent lamb and the flavourful nasi goreng. 🤤

Bookworms will be filled to the brim as you’ll find a collection of best-selling books on their wooden book shelves! So if you’re not up for food and drinks, you can always go for the books
