Description
We are a small family-run restaurant based in Jerantut, a town located inland in Malaysia, about one hour away from the famous Taman Negara National Park.
We live from the heart, guided by art (especially culinary 😉) and a deep love for sharing.
We truly believe in the richness of human connection 🤗.
Here, every encounter is a chance to create meaningful bonds, open up to new cultures, and experience a simple yet fulfilling way of life 🪷.
Feel free to be who you are here!
In exchange for your help in our daily life,
we will offer you a warm welcome a reflection of true Malaysian hospitality ❣️

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We’ve listed here, all the places and activities you can find within a 15 km radius of our place.
But just so you know we also have our own secret spots, known only to locals 😉
Too tricky to explain in writing or through WorkAway...
We’d rather show you in person, feet on the ground and heart wide open.

Help
Our needs change with time from DIY, decoration, and gardening to simply chatting with our customers.
We don’t ask for much work, and we don’t expect any kind of professional commitment.
What we truly value are human exchanges, sharing cultures, and the small gestures that help in daily life.
At the moment, we would be happy to welcome people with skills in carpentry.
And if it’s something you enjoy doing, then that’s even better it’s perfect for us! 🛠️
