If you’re up for some backpacking feels to explore the streets near the famous Sultan Mosque, here’s some places you can check out!
Side note, remember to wear something comfortable and hydrate as you walk down the street!
First up, brunch @ &why…
An aesthetically pleasing looking cafe with a New York Deli concept serves all types of food from brunch to a hearty meal of meat to thirst quenching mocktails.
The interior of the cafe is vintage and gives off The Great Gatsby vibes. With grey bricked walls, dark-wood furnishings, black-rimmed antique lamps, vintage collectibles, and classic Jazz and Blues background music, it will surely make you feel like you’re in another country and in a different era.
Some of their specialties include their Salted Egg Calamari, Oriental Crabmeat Pasta and an array of brunch options like Buttermilk Pancakes, and Egg Florentine and Smoked Salmon Benedict. They also offer desserts like Apple Cobble, and Deep Skillet Cookie if your tummy has a little more space to squeeze!
They are opened from 11am to 11pm daily, except for Wednesdays. Be sure to reserve a spot to avoid disappointment before making your way down there!

Next, an afternoon with a bunch of fluffy creatures: Meomi Cat Cafe
