Who says you have to wait till Valentine’s Day to show someone you love them? Whether you are trying to score a first date with someone or you are looking for new spots to hang out with your significant other, here are a few date options we have for you.
First dates can be a little awkward and embarrassing as you try to come up with topics to talk about with your date to avoid unwanted silences. Taking part in activities helps to break the ice and allows the both of you to enjoy something together. Listed below are some suggestions of where you can have your first date.
1. Wonderfood Museum
Take a trip down to a Wonderfood Museum and discover the history of Penang’s cuisine. Creating giant replicas of Penang’s well-loved street food, Wonderfood Museum provides a ton of interactive 3D art fun and many photo opportunities. Strike a pose, pull a silly face and have fun while learning about your favourite Penang dishes with your date.
Where? 49, Lebuh Pantai, Georgetown 10200.
2. Sunset Cruise
If you are up for something more classic and romantic, admire the beauty of mother nature with a sunset cruise. Not only will you get to experience the picturesque sunset but you also get to indulge in some on-board activities together. Soak yourselves in a salt water jacuzzi as you sail across the tranquil ocean or belt out your favourite tunes with a complimentary karaoke session. Complete your romantic evening with a fulfilling barbecue dinner that will make this date a memorable one.
Where? Port Dickson
3. Self-Defence Class
As the saying goes, couples who workout together stick together. No, not really but engaging in a sport together can be a fun way of getting to know one another and even encouraging a little healthy competition. Explore the art of self-defence and get healthy together with a Muay Thai class for beginners.
Where? Klinch MMA, Block D1, Level G4, Unit 3A, Publika Shopping Gallery
However, if you aren’t really up for big and fun activities and being extra, you can always stick to the classic meal and drinks after with these options listed below.
4. Serai, Jaya Shopping Centre
Decked out in clean and minimalistic decor, Serai is one of the perfect places to take a person out on a first date. As you step into its white and spacious interior, sit amongst plush cushions or by the floor-to-ceiling French windows and bask in the natural light that shines through during the day.
By nightfall, Serai enchants its patrons with a blend of warm and cool lighting against a backdrop of city lights. With Eastern delights like oxtail sambal pedas and steamed fish in lime and chilli as well as Western favourites such as New Zealand lamb shoulder and Australian rib-eye steak, you are spoilt for choice with the options of food available.
If you are looking for something lighter, Serai also offers plenty of tea-time delicacies and coffee that you can munch and sip on as you cosy up in the nooks with your loved one.
Where? G18, Jaya Shopping Centre, Jalan Semangat, Seksyen 14, 46100 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Previously known as Sentidos Tapas, this Spanish bar specialises in authentic Pan-Latin cuisine.
