Children are the source of our greatest joy – I believe that all parents would relate to this. They are a wonderful blessing from above who brings so much laughter, warmth and gratitude in our life. There is nothing we would not do to give them the very best in life. Their happiness is our happiness, and all we ever want to do is to make them smile. However, I also completely understand how difficult it can be to raise a child; balancing our work, managing our time and ensuring our needs are fulfilled. Therefore, I happily present to you 8 places where you get the best of both worlds: you can relax and enjoy your meal while seeing your children gleefully enjoy their time.

Benbino is another success story by The Big Group with a little twist this time. The name is derived from the Italian word “Bambino” which means baby, and it is definitely a to-go-to in your list of cafes to visit with your children. The café is so playful with its design and color to the point that it will even bring out the children in you. In the middle of the café, children are invited to play in the large custom playground with slides and artificial grass. To add to the list, they take pride in offering delicious, nutritious meals. Try their cauliflower tater tots – nuggets on the outside and tongue, but cauliflower on the inside.

While daddy and mommy can sip on their freshly brewed coffee, the little ones can enjoy their flavored fresh milk, with butterscotch being the ultimate favorite. Whereas for the cupcakes, make sure to save some space to share it with your family. Moreover, the charming escape nestles a quirky, colorful play area for the kids, making it a fabulous place for play dates.

Out of Africa

If you think Africa is too far away, think again. Truth be told, Africa is only a drive away from your house. In Out of Africa, you can experience the relaxed atmosphere of Africa’s jungle which is as rare as finding a dinosaur in Kuala Lumpur. You can enjoy a range of their authentic African halal cuisine. While you get adventurous with their delicious pan fried tender Ox tongue with their signature mustard sauce, you can let your kids go wild at their playground. The safari jungle styled playground has a rustic wooden swing, slides, and traditional African hut. They can even swim in the swimming pool located just beside the restaurant. It is a wild, wild party indeed.
