打卡热点：手绘超现实咖啡厅2D Café
在2D Café喝茶吃甜点是一个与众不同的体验，因为你无法不被它的室内设计吸引而分心。 这家咖啡厅的特色，正正就是其创意十足的室内设计，让这整间咖啡厅看起来就像是一本巨大的2D绘本。 咖啡厅内所有的家具、门窗，甚至杯碟都是手绘或打印出来的，让人就像是走入一本漫画书一样。 2D Café位于Sunway Geo Avenue，它在2019年4月13日正式开业后，迅速成为最热门的打卡地点。不过，这家咖啡厅的室内设计并非原创，因为在韩国首尔也有一家类似主题的咖啡厅。 2D Café的团队包括Carmen Loo、Tania Hew、Ong Kheng Kean和投资者Toh Jung Jin。 咖啡厅的设计策划者See Kai Shen无意中发现了他另一家咖啡厅员工Tan Hwei Ling的绘画才华，因此决定让她发挥所长。 他相信，有创意的咖啡厅加上最近备受欢迎的珍珠奶茶饮料，会让这家咖啡厅併发出很大的火花。 从构思到竣工，2D Café的室内设计耗时两个月，过程中最大的挑战是手绘设计，因为任何一个错误意味着必须重刷油漆，并且重头开始再绘画。 开业至今的好成绩，让团队信心满满地策划另外两间分店，目前物色的地点是Setapak和Damansara Uptown。两家新分店将会继续沿用2D的方式做设计，但会各有特色，如采取埃及、中华和科幻主题。 2D Cafe 地址: F-03, 10, Jalan Lagoon Selatan, Sunway Geo Avenue, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor 营业时间: 12pm to 9pm (每周三休息) 面子书: 2d.
