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 7/52/2025- CAFE- BAKERY

The Intoxicating Aroma of Freshly Baked Bread There’s something irresistible about the smell of freshly baked bread—especially when it’s slightly burned at the edges. The aroma is intoxicating, almost overwhelming at times, as I find myself lost in the sights and scents of warm loaves, golden pastries, and delicate cakes neatly arranged in a bakery. Growing up in a kampung, bread was a foreign concept to me. In our village, rice was the staple, and we rarely encountered Western-style baked goods. My first memory of eating bread was during small feasts celebrating the birth of a newborn, where we were served sliced white bread dipped in rich, flavorful chicken or lamb curry. That was the extent of my relationship with bread in those early years. It wasn’t until I became a student at Sheffield University in England in the 1970s that I was introduced to a whole new world of baked delights—cakes, pastries, and sandwiches. Even then, my heart remained with traditional Malaysian dishes...

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.
