“ Super touristy spot. To be honest, it’s more touristy than good. Good spot to try maybe different local delights in a comfortable environment with decent service. Some of the items were sold out when we were there and Assam laksa took forever to arrive. ”
“ Breakfast so finger licking good, said goodbye to my itinerary plan and came back here TWICE in the same trip. Best value for a simple but elegantly delish breakfast! The tea is perfectly rich and satisfies all the ticks of the traditional breakfast. Never expected to find this here but it's a definite must try for all! Opens at 7.30am, and there's already a queue before the door opens, goes to show how damm fantastic the food is. Highly recommended! ”
“ We have visited this cafe for twice within our 6days trip in KL. Mainly becuz of the wonderful milk tea! Kaya toast and chicken drumstick are also recommended :bb ”
“ A Hidden Gem with Authentic Charm We stumbled upon this lovely restaurant and decided to stop in for a light bite—and we were far from disappointed! The food was delicious, bursting with flavor, and the coffee was truly exceptional. What really drew us in was the warm, local vibe; the place was filled with regulars, always a good sign. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our meals arrived promptly without feeling rushed. A wonderful spot for great food and a genuine atmosphere—highly recommend! ”
“ I love the Peranakan vibes! I decided to eat here bcs I saw the review stating that this place is halal friendly. Ofc I have to try! Haha What I love the most about this place.. I’d say it’s the shrimp one — which I forgot the name. But I SWEAR IT TASTE SO GOOOOOD. Also their Char Kwey Tiao is worth the try. The portion is small but you can’t underestimate how good it tastes Will be back here again for sure ”
“ Lovely place! They serve some kind of Chinese - Western - Fusion food! The service was quick and very friendly. Everybody spoke English! Prices are reasonable! I had the "Carbonara". You better don't order it, of there are any Italians around, but I liked the mix of pasta, veggies and a chicken schnitzel. Payed 25RM for the meal and fresh coconut. As they also serve fries, it may be a good option for picky eaters Recommended and would totally come back! ”
