What recent reviews say

The attached cafe divides opinion: shoppers enjoy the quiet setting and reasonable prices, but food quality complaints-bland chicken rice, underseasoned nasi goreng kampung, wrong orders-recur, and staff morale issues surface in several reviews.

Staff friendliness and a comfortable dining space draw repeat visitors, especially for traditional Malaysian fare like duck and fried rice. Western dishes disappoint regularly with overcooking, dry proteins, and bland seasoning, while wait times can stretch over an hour with little staff communication during peak hours.

Good food and fair prices draw people back, but slow service and inconsistent staff attitude remain stubborn problems. Dishes like Western Talam and prawn fried noodles with lobster earn praise, yet kitchen delays and poor handling of orders frustrate returning customers.
