Air-con restaurant Free parking with security guards. Nice atmosphere The food portions were big, love the Mala Fried Rice, especially with the chicken comes with garlic sauces, spicy vs spicy! The Wondrous chicken were very crispy! The Duo fries was sweet potatoes and potatoes, love sweet potatoes the most, fries kinda burn but overall still tasty. The Profiteroles were very very tasty! Crispy and not too sweet, suitable as a dessert after the main course.

Visit after lunch time, only I at the cafe. Volcanic coffee is a must try in the shop. Mushroom soup an unexpectedly big bowl, a bit full for me to finish the whole bowl due to I had ordered their must try dessert - profiterole. Overall, I am quite satisfied and with the friendly service.

One of my favourite places in Batu Kawan for lunch. It is a nice cosy place with nice food, comfortable environment and great place to hang out chatting with besties. Been here quite a number of times, be it set lunches or ala carte dishes, all are really up to par. Price wise, a bit on the higher side for ala carte dishes but then you get what you pay for. The satisfaction of a good meal and value for your hard earned money~ The set meal menu is updated monthly, so we can come here monthly. The only down side is their limited seats. During week day lunch time, it is difficult to get a table for parties more than 4 pax. However, they do take reservations and pre-orders. See some of the food photos from this cafe. Appetizing~

Color me impressed, the food here is stunningly delicious and comes with their own unique touch. Who would have known bakchoy would be a good match with black pepper grilled chicken? The chicken itself is well grilled and served on top of rich mashed potatoes too. Lunch menu here is rotated across each weekday and is a pretty good deal if you want something nice for lunch

Visited on Sunday for lunch. Food is good and service was very efficient and warm by the pretty girl who is the main server. Food arrived within minutes. Taste is good and portion size is also good. Parking is super easy and free and shaded right outside the store. Remember to pay using grab to enjoy the discount! The only downside of this place... There is no sound absorption on the walls, so every conversation from nearby tables can be heard even if you whisper.

Stumbled upon this new place in Batu Kawan. The only decent restaurant this side of penang. Tried their mala fried rice with ginger chicken . It was tasty and lovely. The chicken thigh is soft and succulent. The mala fried rice not too spicy just the right amount of spice. Will be back to try their other unic and creative dishes here again. Parking is plenty and shaded Ambience is clean , cozy and inviting. Feels like a family home cooked cafe. Air conditioned Staff service friendly and polite 5 star

Service is very good (fast and friendly). Straight away served you the menu the moment you enter the shop. My group came first, then after that the shop became quite full with another 3 groups. Waiting time was not long and food tasted good.

So far the best dining experience in batu kawan area. Had the seafood chowder and wondrous chicken chop which were both great! Service was good as well. Definitely a recommended cafe to bring friends and family.
