"Nasu Tongkol Pedas is yum! However, the it is a bit pricey considering the price vs the portion. Es Ciung is nice, but mutiara on the drink still frozen. Roti Kaya Set is a good deal. The toast is good, not too sweet. The egg is so-so, but the drink option is woww (earlgrey cafe latte that feels that strong and smells gooooooood). The service is nice. The ambience is cozy for a restaurant. The entrance is a bit confusing for first timer hehehehe but that's ok. Last time I go there, they accept QRIS only. Too bad, cannot use the card / cash as alternative huhuhu hopefully next time there will be improvement on the portion and the payment options. Thank you!"

"Dropped by this little Peranakan café while feeling a bit under the weather and ordered a bowl of mie ayam. It turned out to be exactly what I needed; warm, comforting, and so flavorful without being too heavy. The place itself is small and cozy, with a homely vibe that makes you want to linger a bit longer. The staff were kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better!"

"Great coffee paired with excellent comfort food. The bakmi ayam was a real standout — perfectly chewy, al dente noodles with just the right bite. The nasi goreng carried a delicious smoky flavor that made it truly memorable, and the nasi lemak reminded me of the authentic taste you’d find in Malaysia. A wonderful spot for both coffee lovers and foodies looking for familiar favorites done exceptionally well."

"A small diner serving Indonesian food and coffee. I went there for lunch and it's not packed, good for casual hangout or meeting. I ordered their Gado gado, not bad but surely I can find better option."
