THE little cafe in Pekan Nanas, Johor, is a breath of fresh air.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nestled in a residential area, Pekan Nanas Platform Coffee and Homestay is simply impressive.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It gives the feeling that much thought has been given to the setting -a seamless blend of creativity and business.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To begin with, I was drawn to its easy to navigate menu strategically and artistically displayed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Run by a husband and wife team, Hui Peng says they set up\u00a0 Platform Coffee and Homestay in 2013 and,\u00a0 she is proud to note their venture turns nine this year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
A story : The deco makes good conversation starters with her guests.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Highlights: A map showing interesting places in and around Pekan Nanas<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Creative juices flowing: Guests are easily drawn to the menu.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Full view:\u00a0 A corner at the porch for those who prefer outdoors.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Welcome: A pair of ceramic ducks- turned-guards<\/em> at the entrance to the sitting room.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
Eye catching:\u00a0 For guests’ attention.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Hui Peng, 45, who runs the cafe has drawn on her six years of experience working in a hotel in Singapore.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friendly and attentive, she says she was in the personalized service department and that her duties included meeting and greeting arriving guests at the airport.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And at this cafe, guests can choose their ceramic cup\/mug which were handmade by Hui Peng and her husband.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She says the ceramic deco in the cafe are mostly made by her husband.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A collection: Hui Peng says the items on display, except those on the top shelf, were made by her and her husband. The pieces on the top shelf were made by their mentor.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
We are open: The front entrance to the sitting room.<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The cafe’s environmental friendly and retro theme itself is a selling point.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hui Peng says the ambience is popular among guests.<\/div>\n
