Coffee Bean Ampang Point, Ampang. With @melvinchan from TalentEdge and his girlfriend. Recognized them from BarCamp KL, Malaysia April 2009

Location: Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Ampang Point, Ampang

WiFi: Airzed

Plugs: A lot. Ground floor there’s 8 plugs, 5 inside the air-conditioned area and 3 at the smoking area. Above have around 5-6 plugs, with Japanese Table in the smoking area.

Toilet: 1st Floor upstairs

Category/Halal: Cafe/Halal

Surau/Mosque/Prayer Rooms: The nearest would be at the first floor of Pelita Nasi Kandar that is nearby. The surau however is pretty small and can fit 4 men at one time. Man or woman have to take turns to pray there. Alternative surau would be at Ampang Point or Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital

Nearest alternatives: Nando’s, Kenny Rogers, unsure if Pelita had but my last visit were none, San Francisco Coffee Ampang Point.

Amenities: 7 Eleven enarby and there’s a stationery shop, alongide Imavest Auto that sells Honda

Review: It’s the beginning of my mobile office. It is here. Pretty comfy and many plugs, but the competition will be hot during the day since they didn’t open the first floor, unless if it’s too crowded on the ground floor. One thing to note that this area is flooded with kids asking for alms, kids selling some weird oil and people selling pirated CD’s. The safest is to stay inside the counter-area lol.

Review: During my early days of mobile offices, I’ve went here to work. However, due to battery problem I’ve experienced, I’ve found it hard to work outside with the hotness plus the smoke from other person. Still, it has the nice view and breeze of the hills. Don’t put high expectation as it is, by chance.
