The environment is pretty nice, a cozy home surrounded by many things and books, and a garden view. The music selection is meh. The chef recommended a fish and chicken meal for the day, and an extra dish of eggs. The food feels a bit homey, slightly above average, and pretty alright for RM 25. Drink options are okay. Service is a bit slow. The main problem with this place is the expectations, as it is hard to book, and I need to book about 1 week to 1 month ahead. So naturally this set the expectations high (due to the effort required), but it did fall below my expectations. If this is just a normal walk-in restaurant, then I would not have the expectations issues. A few things in the beginning rub me the wrong way as well: parking is slightly far, the front is not obvious, and you actually have to enter via the back entrance. Just me complaining, if you already got the heads up, this will be a non issue.

Love this place: great service with good dessert and mains and coffee. Cappuccino is good, Tiramisu is good and Shakshuka is tasty.

The Edamame Pork Lard Rice (RM 13) is the best simple inexpensive comfort food. Lychee coffee (RM 13) is interesting, and Jelly of the Day (RM 6) is satisfying. The jelly ran out pretty fast, so order first and ask them to serve later.
