There are a lot variety of food in the Menu, but we just ordered the Breakfast Set. Love the Bread + Kaya Jam a little bit too much!! Overall, it was a very fulfilling breakfast"

The usual crowds for rush hour but we were fortunate to be seated in front of the welcoming signboard and met the owner too . It was a warm hospitality that after 5min chat we ordered Nasi Lemak Ayam Special set lunch and cendol. IMHO the nasi lemak was among the best I'd tasted and it made my trip worthwhile."

Everything tasted so comforting and flavorful, like proper classic local food done right. The roti bakar was crispy and buttery, the kopi was rich and smooth, and the nasi lemak… sooo good, super satisfying. Even the otak bun was such a nice surprise. Simple food but done perfectly. I’d 100% come back"

Couldn't find any information about halal certification, but the place seems Muslim-friendly (Muslim customers & staff present. No pork/Alcohol) Affordable but does not accept card though."

Could see the steaming "Wok Hay" when Char Kway teow arrived and didn't disappoint as it was yummy and wished that it came in a slightly bigger portion . The highlight was Cheong Fun, unlike the cheong fun - Chinese style - it was wide but soft with the curry sauce seemed like a good combo. Only let down was the coffee. Tasted like it was made from the instant Malaysian coffee sachets, hence I removed 1 star from food. Service was normal, nothing particularly friendly."

For someone from outside the region, it was interesting that the steamed eggs had more salt than I was used to, but it's a good eat nonetheless. Will come back for nasi lemak another time."
