Lost in Aesthetic Jungle: My Soft-Urban Escape at Tamarind Square, Cyberjaya
I brought my laptop. I brought my to-do list. But the only thing I opened was… my camera app and my wallet.
Welcome to Tamarind Square, where nature meets WiFi, and your productivity goes on a soft vacation.

Tamarind Square is Cyberjaya’s hipster playground — think concrete buildings wrapped in greenery, aesthetic cafés on every corner, and enough chill vibes to convince you you're in Bali (almost).

🍰 What I Did Instead of Working:

-Took “candid” photos with wild plants growing out of buildings
-Got lost looking for cafés… then got more lost inside them
-Had dessert before lunch, and coffee after both
-Told myself I’d come back to be productive (spoiler: I probably won’t)

-Come hungry. Regret nothing.
Came to hustle, stayed to café-hop.
Tamarind Square is what happens when a jungle and an architecture student fall in love — and invite cafés to the wedding.
