A Little Farm On The Hill

📍Janda Baik, Malaysia

Just 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, A Little Farm on the Hill is rustic yet refined. It draws on global flavours, all centred around the organic produce they grow themselves.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Jehan and Nazrim, this idyllic farm-to-table hideout blends slow food philosophy with heartfelt hospitality. What started as a personal retreat has blossomed into a community-driven sanctuary where vegetables are grown with care and meals are cooked with soul.

From fresh flowers to fragrant herbs, every ingredient is handpicked and woven into seasonal set menus. Think long lunches, open-air feasts, and a table that instantly feels like home.

With views for days and menus that honour what’s just been harvested, this is proof that when food is grown with love and shared with intention, you don’t just taste the difference, you feel it.

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not by real travellers like yourself, say Hi to Paul, a sustainable travel and lifestyle blogger.

Paul and his wife Sandra are the people behind Minimalist Journeys, they inspire and guide individuals towards more intentional, sustainable, and fulfilling ways of living and travelling. Through personal experiences and practical advice, they advocate for authentic, low-impact travel and minimalistic living that is kind to both the people and the planet.

🔥 What’s Hot

using public transport to access emerging travel destinations, our recent guides to Matka Canyon near Skopje and Piatra Craiului National Park near Brașov highlight how easy and rewarding it can be to reach stunning, lesser-known places in a sustainable way.

❄️ What’s Not

travel content created by influencers who have never actually visited the destinations they promote feels increasingly inauthentic and misleading.
