Why it’s a good cheap date
You control the menu, the music, and the pace. It's the cheapest planned date there is.
Grab a mat, stop at a bakery on the way, and set up under the trees near the lake. Shah Alam's lake garden has enough shade and enough space that you'll feel like you have your own corner. Watch the paddle boats and stay until the streetlights come on.
Tips
- A cheap foldable mat from Mr DIY (RM10) is a lifetime picnic investment.
- Pack wet wipes and a small rubbish bag. Leave nothing behind.
- Bring cards or a small game for when the snacks run out.
Make it more romantic
- 1Each of you writes three questions on folded paper and pulls them at random.
- 2Make a 10-song playlist for the other person and play it during the picnic.
- 3Bring a Polaroid or use a film-camera app for one photo only.
- 4Bring a handwritten note and hand it over at the very end.
