We had lunch here. Food is pretty good. The rendang chicken is superb. Food is better than another cafe further down. The deco concept brings back nostalgic feelings. Even the menu (see video)...that takes some efforts to produce. There is more seats behind the counter.

This traditional nyonya restaurant is truly a hidden gem! From the moment you step inside, you're immersed in a rich cultural atmosphere. Each dish is packed with authentic flavors, as if you're tasting the essence of history. The signature dishes, in particular, have a complex texture and aroma that are absolutely mouthwatering, deepening my appreciation for Nyonya culture. Overall, this was an unforgettable dining experience, and I highly recommend it!

Ordered rice with thai style chicken and jumbo fruit juice honeydew, village rice with ayam masak merah and coffee cincau, up to par and soothing feel, with delectable taste. My 2nd time here and will definitely come back. Cool air inside though near to the bustling road.

Another old nostalgic kopitiam tgat brings you back to your childhood memories ( for baby boomers..sic). Lots of local dishes to suit local palates . One stand out item is their menu..handwritten in school exercise books...now that's creative!!. Good place to chill & hangout with friends.

I accidentally found this cafe in this area. Looks like it's newly open. The restaurant is clean and has a good ambiance & well decorated. They got extra seating at their back side area. For me food & drinks presentable, good taste & consistent with the price. Overall our experience is ok.
