a bakery with a mission...

i just had lunch with my sisters somewhere in ss16. while waiting for my dad to pick us up, me and my sisters came across this one shop bakery and the first thing that caught my eyes was this picture i took! it says that the bakery that never sleeps... so i thought 'hey let's just go in and check it out'...ou...another thing that i saw was this sign... everything here is self-service and we only pay by donation and today's donations goes to the woman organization for under privillaged woman in Malaysia. ou..one more thing is that, they don't beleive in wasting and no take aways. so everything is dined-in.

as we walk in, we saw this rack of books and newspapers... top shelf is the newspaper and the picture that i took is the book section where u can dine in and read for free...most of the books here are those inspirational books like 'heaven is real', 'God is my savior' and there's even some bibles we saw.

the place to make us a cup of drinks. there's quite a few variety of hot drinks that u can make actually. there's 3 types of tea which includes green tea, 3 types of coffee, milo and even hot chocolates.

there's not much variety of food here but it's what you donate that helps and counts. a few types of muffins, rolls and even garlic breads. wha more can they ask for right?

roughly what it looks like from my view where i was seated. :P

the cash register there was just a props there that was never used. next to it was a sandwitches bar which tuna, chicken and egg mayo. there's normal bread to whole grain, you can choose!

the place where everyone can dine.

the good thing that i see in this bakery is that, they are all friendly people and i can assure you that this place is really clean. i have yet to know the name of this bakery because i didn't get the chance to ask any of them.

you can eat whatever you want there and you don't really have to pay but as you may know, it's a charity bakery so every money that you donate is important. it doesn't have to be alot, but just give what ever you think is necessary. today i've donated rm15 and had 2 blueberry muffins and a cup of hot chocolate and i feel happy. i feel like a part of me have done a wonderful thing by helping others.

one more thing about this bakery is that, there's a box where you give your donation, on top of it, there's a note written "yesterday's donation, RM514.55 was collected. thank you". meaning that everyday they will tell how much money that they collected so we don't have to think that the person who work's there takes all the money for themselves right?

i'm really proud of this bakery honestly. this is the first bakery that i see actually can make a different in other people's live mot only by their food, but by their charity and kindness.

i wish i could open my own charity cafe or something, because i heard someone once said that "if you help others, they will help you too in what ever they can".

so why don't we just stop thinking about ourselves for once and help the needy and make the world a better place!
