MINIATURE LIFE:
#CREATIVELOCKDOWN

Our daily routine as we know it may have been disrupted during the covid19 lockdown, but this is finally our golden opportunity to spend more quality time at home, doing the things that we could only wish to do during busier periods. There's no better time for me than these few months of lockdown to finally put all the miniatures that I have been collecting the past year or so to good use. What a fun opportunity too to recreate the great outdoors while staying indoor, using everyday materials and food items found at home.

Nine Running Yolks may be a newly founded KL-based bakery, but the passionate baker behind this brand, Jiric, is definitely no stranger to the home baker scene in KL. Fresh from his stint in Qatar and Paris, he's finally settling down for greater things. Look out for his decadent creations in cafes around town, starting with Third Wave Coffee at Nexus, Bangsar.

Nestled on the upper floor of a plain-looking row of shoplots at Dataran Cheras is a chic, minimalist place I could spend a whole afternoon at.

Coupled with an interesting line-up of tea and dessert selection, this is a pretty decent spot for some time alone or with friends.
