ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 16/52/2025- CAFE WITH CANOPY

WHY I love to eat/drinl inside a cafe with canopy?

Sitting there watching the world goes by is my favourite pastime. It gives me the solitude to reflect and still belong to the streams lof lives passing throught the streets. I belong to the restaurant and as well as I belong to the street-enjoy both benefits at the same time.

At the same time, the confortable location allow me to sit for hours,reading , talking and taking photos. What a life..Below, I share a few photos taken in Paris, KL and Daamsara.

Cafés featuring veranda canopies offer a harmonious blend of indoor comfort and outdoor ambiance, creating inviting spaces that cater to both aesthetic appeal and functional needs. These designs are particularly well-suited to tropical climates like Malaysia’s, where protection from sun and rain is essential.

Veranda Canopy Café?

A veranda canopy café incorporates an extended, covered outdoor area—often adjacent to the main building—where patrons can enjoy their meals or beverages. The canopy serves as a shelter, providing shade and protection from the elements while maintaining an open-air experience.

Benefits of Veranda Canopy Cafés

• Weather Protection: Canopies shield customers from harsh sunlight and rain, enhancing comfort and making outdoor seating viable year-round.

• Increased Seating Capacity: By extending usable space, cafés can accommodate more patrons without the need for significant structural expansions.

• Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Thoughtfully designed canopies contribute to the café’s visual identity, attracting passersby and creating a memorable atmosphere.

• Improved Customer Experience: The combination of fresh air and shelter creates a pleasant environment that encourages longer visits and repeat business.

Incorporating a veranda canopy into a café’s design not only enhances its functionality but also elevates the overall customer experience. By thoughtfully selecting materials and design elements, café owners can create inviting spaces that resonate with patrons and stand out in a competitive market.

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 17/52/2025- LIFE SKETCHING ART BUSINESS

Last weekend when I was having a drink with my fellow photograhers community at Makan Buzz, I saw a small kiosk manned by a famous local cartoonist Kulatt. His business is doing live caricatures for passers-by. He did one for me. It costs RM15. While he was drawing me, we talked about art business. As an art-entrepreneur business coach, I gave him some advice to diversify his active and passive income. The business of caricature art sits at a fascinating intersection of entertainment, fine art, and commercial service. The image I shared shows a street caricature artist at work — a powerful reminder of how immediate, personal, and engaging this art form can be. Business of Caricature Art 1.

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 19/52/2025 - DAMASCUS SHAWARMA

I’ve only dined at Damascus Restaurant once—drawn in by the promise of authentic shawarma and strong Turkish coffee. The meal didn’t disappoint; the flavors were bold and satisfying. But when the bill arrived, the aftertaste turned bittersweet—much like the coffee itself. That experience stayed with me. These days, I prefer to grab a takeaway from their roadside counter instead. It’s quicker, cheaper, and still gives me the taste I’m after. As I observed more closely, I noticed Damascus operates from two adjoining lots—one on Jalan Bukit Bintang and the other on Jalan Sultan Ismail. Why two locations so close to each other? From the perspective of a business consultant working with SME entrepreneurs, the answer is simple: location. Both sites are strategically positioned along high-foot-traffic areas, prime spots for visibility and spontaneous customer decisions. While the restaurant interiors aren’t packed on weekdays, the takeaway counters consistently draw long queues. This in...
