“ 21 Jun 2025, Saturday, 11am I ordered a hot teh tarik without sugar, a cup of hot water and one durian ice kachang (ice shaving) and had gula melaka syrup instead of the usual colour syrup. It comes with grass jelly cubes, sweet corn and salted peanuts that tasted like they were from peanut butter. I love it! Too full for other food as I had breakfast 2 hours ago. I will come back for the Penang Assam Laksa later for lunch. ”
“ Even though it’s just a café, it serves authentic Penang-style cuisine that truly captures the local flavours. Whatever Penang dish you can think of, you’ll probably find it here — it’s a convenient one-stop spot for Penang favourites. There may not always be a long queue, but the restaurant is consistently full house, and the food is served fast too. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal! ”
“ A good restaurant inside the mall. We were lucky and did not have to wait. When we left, there was a queue. The food was served quickly and it was hot. I ordered the nasi lemak with chicken (drumstick). I did not really enjoy the chicken. And, I expected more sauce. I had a good meal, but I did not think it was all that special. Perhaps I picked the wrong dish(?) Worth a try if you are nearby. ”
“ I stopped by here as a bit of a break from exploring KLCC in the afternoon for a bit of a teatime and no regrets. Although I have been here a few times but it has always been having kueh and a drink. So, my rating is for the kueh. Each one fragrant and with the right texture. All of them tasted fresh and were really pleasant to eat. For anyone wanting to order from the menu (food and drink) will need to write down on a chit to pass it to a staff to place the order. Your order will be delivered to your table. Staff were ok too. Ambience perspective, love the decor as it feels rustic and tasteful. It has a different feel to the rest of KLCC and a nice break. ”
“ I went there just before they close to order. They welcomed us and guided to seat. We ordered some basic dishes to prepare easily. And I finally found that this restaurant is real 맛집. The fried rice was amaizing with fire flavered and perfect seasoning. Cendol was exactly what I wanted, not too much sweet and beans. I can say that it’s better than the other famous restaurant near there. The price is the best thing. ”
