"we went there 15 minutes before they are opened. nevertheless, they let us in. indoor seating with ac is comfortable, but you'll be missing the outdoor garden aesthetics. food wise was excellent. the menu is quite limited, but well executed. all of the ordered menu was delicious and timely served, aside from the daging bakar due to separately grilled at them cashier. price is definitely is on the affordable side, without sacrificing the taste. seating was comfy. my only comment is to improve regarding flies at the table. you could feel the vibe that this is a family run business. Will definitely repeat again for the whole ambience. thumbs up to owner. we ordered: nasi ayam toyu, jelly cat, daging bakar, mee kuah tulang regular, mantou with butter sause."

"Loved the ambience, the mantou, the sangkaya, the nasi bawal, and especially tiramisu! I'd make my tiramisu more coffee taste if i could but so far this one is well balanced by far that I've tasted. Definitely look fwd to repeating. Well done to the owners and chef. Good quality food and reasonable price. We enjoyed it."
