This cafe feels very calm and cozy with simple wooden decor. The sunlight makes the space warm and welcoming. The food tastes great! The Crevette Tigrée Risotto is fresh and tasty, the strawberry mochi cake is soft and sweet. A great place to enjoy good food and chill vibes!

Recommend their risotto, as you can customise the hardness of the rice, very flavourful, prawns were fresh. As for the pasta, not really a fan of it as it’s mackerel but my friend thought it was good. If you wanna opt for dessert, strawberry mochi cake would be a good choice, not too sweet!

We really enjoyed the —it was so tasty, with rich layers of flavor that paired really well together. The sirloin was a little on the salty side for us, but it matched nicely with the roasted potatoes. The risotto was quite good too, with prawns roasted nicely and giving off a good roasted aroma; perhaps the risotto itself could use a stronger flavor to elevate the dish. Overall, we’re satisfied—just a few tweaks here and there would make it perfect!

A new cafe recently showed up on a few social media platforms. The genmaicha latte was good, with the fragrance of the rice. The risotto was quite good, and the prawn was fresh. One has to speak softly due to the sound bouncing back, to avoid interrupting others.

I like their kewt and creative wall art, the “fried egg flowers” definitely brightens up the entire dining space We like the Egg Purgatory very much! Sourdough bread was baked in-house, the tangy bread paired up with the tomato sauce creates a well-balanced flavour. As a person who loves mochi very much, their Strawberry Mochi Cake is on my “must-order” list. Stretchy mochi texture with the light and airy cake is “chef’s kiss” . Highly recommend and will revisit again hehe!

The risotto here is superb.Creamy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. They’ll even ask your preference for the rice hardness,great attention to detail. The mochi cake is also really nice soft, chewy, and delicious. Both are must-try items
