Okay lai lai. This round before I share my full itinerary of Jalan Jalan cari Makan at Batu Pahat that took place last year August 2020. I am going to kick start with this famous hidden cafe known as Niqiu Space in Batu Pahat, Johor. Upon stepping into this cafe, I instantly fell in love deep deep with the whole concept.
A cafe that is run by a young group of people with true passion to put Batu Pahat into a well known town again. As Batu Pahat now is an aging town with many youngsters jet to Johor city or Klang valley to persue their career. Then left this group of young people hoping to bring up the community. I am totally impress by their passion and direction.
Oh well, some of the owners are famous wedding photographer in Batu Pahat. Hence with a few of their strong passion to build up this Niqiu Space Cafe.
A transportation of yourself back into the 60’s 70’s era. I have always love shop which is back dated like during my grandparents time. Huge square box tv, metal filing cabinate, huge ass wooden counter top and many more. When I was brief by my friend about the uniqueness of this concept cafe, I am totally blown away!!!!! (there are T&C to follow) : for me I got discount cuz my friend know the cafe owner and they were just operating about a month old. SO i get to roam freely.
Before entering this cafe: there is a signage that written Do and donts! (as the owner want all of us to respect their space, customer space and enjoy the ambiance)
- Do’s
- do come in, order your drinks
- Sit chill and enjoy the ambiance
- Dont’s
- Do not move around to take picture everywhere
- you are only allow to take picture at your seating area
- you are not allow to talk loud (talk like you are in library)
- Kids are not welcome (because the whole shop sells antique) anything broken is not cheap !
- Space is very limited or compact, hence group movement might not encourage.
- Do not move around to take picture everywhere
Blown away right? but the owner highly want all the customers to comply. I am okay with that. Every establishment have their own uniqueness.
Below are more pictures for you to see and enjoy. If you are in this cafe, PLEASE DO NOT take picture like me. I do have special permission to move around like this! Respect the owner’s rules and regulation!!!
Anything you see in the cafe, do ask the owner for pricing. 90% are for sale. I am sure they are like the largest antique collection in Batu Pahat.
Our order for the day while soaking ourself into a chill environment.
you see you see, even their menu is unique!
This is my favourite area. They cleverly and creatively convert the old big ass tv box into aquarium.
This is their signature and also my highly recommended one. Salted Caramel Coffee Latte
Some snacks as I think this was our first station of the day before another 5 more to go.
Carrot cake do look like Coffee Bean.
A classic place. Wooden table, huge glass jar. classic calculator and alarm clock. Just enjoying myself with cakes and Green Tea Latte.
Well, my tour guide for Batu Pahat that is bringing me around for food hunt.
A cafe by its unique charm. Totally a place to visit but do prepare to queue now as the popularity is over the roof. Good luck!
