Cempedak was super funky, it goes well w the salted coconut ice cream which mellows it. The Kueh itself was ok only

Overall the theme of the meal was many new unique tastes achieved by creative combinations, which is not just the two original tastes. There's always a certain novel edge to the flavours. This place is something special and the chefs are to be looked out for in wtv new endeavours they find themselves starting

Corn tea from corn leaf and silk(mild), corn custard and glutinous rice. They use all parts of the corn, and what's special is that because of that, somehow it tastes very strongly of corn yet significantly different as well. So special

Slight crisp, texture is a little chewy or a little hard depending on the fattiness, but what's impressive here is the ckn jus combined w the coffee oil that gives such a unique edge

The you mai cai is also the best I've had, it's grilled to give smokiness and the sweetness was brought out

More creamy than anything actually, it's not super savoury. An interesting salad, w hints from the quail egg sauce

The butterfish was rlly good. It's just oil and salt yet somehow the flavour was absolutely intense and suitably briny.

Which went well w the stir fried nasi ulam koshihikari rice that was well crusted on the claypot.

The fish is good enough to stand on its own as a main though

Delicious and creative and everything meshed well

Frog legs had a nice bite, the laksa leaf was damn intense and it worked well w the funky cheese to give a whole new dimension

Abit ex for what it was, but creative it certainly was

Today is the last day it opens. So there kind of isn't a point reviewing, except that I really wanted to record down how good a meal this was

The shima aji actually tastes like crab when you eat it w the crab fat butter. The brioche was very greasy tho and I didn't like that

To my surprise, a restaurant with such a high rating in terms of food quality and service standard, on Google review, I have went though a bad encounter with the restaurant.

Due to all these GOOD reviews and restaurant with good ambience which I may not be able to deny, I have enquired for a private event to be held in the restaurant.

However, the email reply from the restaurant is in such an inattentive and unprofessional manner. You may need to reconsider if intending to hold a private event in here. Dining in the restaurant may be different, but I definitely would not have mine in this restaurant.

On the side note, I can share the email thread which I mentioned if anyone is interested, or in public’s interest.

Had lunch in this cafe/bar near my workplace, and was really satisfied with the food!

The Melba breakfast ($27) had a variety of ingredients and they were all cooked very well and I loved their bacon especially, as it had a good sear without being too hard. Definitely a very filling portion as well!

Tried my friend's beef stew (part of $25 lunch set) and the beef were so flavourful and tender! Lovely pieces to go with the creamy mash under.

A big place to have conversations with your colleagues and friends. Definitely recommended!

tried this secluded restaurant a while back and the vibes are to die for 💯 super pretty w flowers all around in a quiet neighbourhood :’) food was q meh tbh haha got the pesto parpadelle pasta ($20++) and the pasta was q soft and not al dente 😱 (although some ppl might like it this style) the sauce was a bit too watery for my liking too. we also got the wagyu striploin with peppers ($18++) - seasoning was nubbad, reminded me of satay. my fav was the heaven’s queen drink ($8++) tho HAHA. it was shiok and refreshing :-) overall i think i’ll j come here for the vibes and to getaway from the crowd 😬

The vibe and food service at this cafe was extremely lovely. It was my first time having coffee served in such an elaborate yet delicate manner. I thought the food choices and coffee were ok, not extraordinary/memorable in taste for the price. Dog-friendly which is great for pet owners, but the place was reverberating with barks after a while. A place that I would just come once to check it out, but may not return.
