BENTONG – Despite facing challenges with restricted access, Tanah Aina Fareena Cafe continues to welcome visitors through an alternate route, proving that blessings from above always find their way. Located at Lot 6073, KM 54.3, Karak Highway, Kg Lentang, Bentong (heading towards Kuantan), this nature-inspired cafe remains a sanctuary for eco-lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Recently, a group of journalists was invited by Mr. Syed Farooq, the Manager of Tanah Aina Fareena Cafe, for an exclusive tour to experience what makes this place unique. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the serene pathway along the riverbank, framed by lush greenery, the symphony of chirping birds, and the calming sounds of flowing water.
The cafe itself is a testament to sustainable beauty. Preserving its natural surroundings, Tanah Aina Fareena offers a visually stunning and tranquil environment. Upon entering, we were warmly greeted by Mr. Farooq, who unveiled the cafe’s hidden treasures, including a meticulously decorated dining area and a variety of dishes crafted from original recipes.
Guests can savor a diverse menu ranging from hearty meals to delectable homemade desserts and ice creams. For families, the experience is elevated with the opportunity for children to splash around in the crystal-clear waters of the nearby stream or pick fresh fruits casually from the surrounding gardens.
The cafe also boasts exclusive features such as a VIP room for private gatherings and an upper-level hall equipped with a stage, sound system, and amenities for events, meetings, or celebrations. Additionally, prayer rooms for men and women are thoughtfully designed with a mosque-like ambiance to cater to worshippers’ needs.
According to Mr. Farooq, the cafe, established in 2018, was built entirely by hand without heavy machinery, preserving the natural landscape. This commitment to sustainability is evident in every corner, from the untouched jungle trees to the picturesque surroundings.
Before finish our visit, we explored the famous “1,000 Steps” trail, which leads to a hilltop gazebo offering panoramic views of Bentong and the surrounding activities. It was an unforgettable moment that showcased the harmony between development and nature.
As we departed, Mr. Farooq shared a powerful message: “At Tanah Aina Fareena, we aim to show that progress does not have to come at the cost of nature. Environmental destruction robs future generations of the chance to experience its beauty firsthand.”
For those seeking a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and great food, a visit to Tanah Aina Fareena Cafe is a must. Experience it for yourself and create lasting memories with your loved ones.
