"Tried their bowl and it was really good — fresh ingredients, generous portion, and everything tasted well-balanced. The smoked meat, eggs, kimchi, and vegetables all worked perfectly together. Also ordered the Banana cheese and it was amazing! Super generous with the cheese and very satisfying. Definitely worth trying if you love rich and creamy flavours. Overall, a great meal and value for money."

"I had a pleasant experience at this café, especially because of its local dessert selection. The rojak was one of the highlights, it was fresh, well-balanced, and the sauce had the perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. The ingredients were generously portioned and tasted very fresh. The ABC was equally impressive. It was refreshing and well-prepared, with finely shaved ice and a good variety of toppings. The gula Melaka added a rich sweetness that complemented the dessert perfectly, making it a great choice on a hot day. Overall, this café offers delicious local treats in a comfortable setting. It is a great place to relax and enjoy desserts."
