The place not suit for those who doesn't like in the crowd. The place was too small that made me felt uncomfortable. The food also arrived late that even other person that order after me get the food first. However, the food was delicious and worth to try. They don't have a wide choice of food. So, just try the viral pasta which is creamy tomyam pasta. The buttermilk nasi lemak was good also. But the place with only fan, not suit for babies I guess

Drinks are too sweet. Mango blended is VERY SWEET. Sweet potato fries is nice, only they serve with extra cheap mayonnaise & chilli sauce. Spaghetti buttermilk clam is recommended Spaghetti creamy seafood tomyam, ok but why do you use cheap squid considering the price, sotong ring yg keras tu? .

Gorgeous rustic eatery near many hotels and hotspots. No air-cond but it is no issue because the establishment is airy and equipped with many fans. The food is delicious and well seasoned with sizeable portions and the menu has quite a selection to choose from. The sweet potato fries are so good they seem handmade. Staff are very nice and friendly! Highly recommend for an authentic Malaysian cafe experience.

The nasi lamb grill was a little bit too salty, the soup and even the lamb grill itself. Butter chili clam pasta 5/10 coz a little bit bland creamy mushroom pasta ok coffee and environment okayy. a little bit pricey but can't match with the taste of the foods, it is a nice place to hangout but maybe only for the coffee
