The food is excellent and well presented. The oysters are juicy and the char siew dish is tender and full of flavour. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cafe is also decorated in a cosy retro style.

I recently dined at this charming restaurant and was immediately transported back to my childhood by its vintage interior design. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax.

The food is truly exceptional—each dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The staff were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the ingredients and cooking methods, which added to the overall experience.

If you're looking for a comfortable environment paired with delicious food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!

A very comfortable air conditioned cafe with set lunches. A good variety on the a la carte menu also
Good and drinks were decent. Not too crowded so it’s a great place to have a meeting or chat.
They are open at night with a different menu. Alcoholic beverages and cocktails are available.
Customers can access from the back lane at night if they do not wish to go though the night market. The back lane is well lit and safe

💎It's a hidden gem in the Ipoh town. The prices are reasonable, and the food tastes great. The service is excellent, and the staff are very friendly. The environment is nice, and the restaurant has a distinctive charm, making you feel like you've traveled back to a previous era while dining.

Dined in alone in the evening—and I really mean alone. I ordered the dinner set with scallops and Iberico pork, along with a cup of hot lemon tea.

First off, the decor is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in this setting—it felt like dining at my grandma’s place, complete with 80s music. If you’re someone who loves a nostalgic throwback to the 80s, you’ll absolutely enjoy the atmosphere here.

As for the food, I was somewhat disappointed. For the portion size and quality, it felt overpriced. The scallops had a nice flavor with the sauce, but the crispy topping was burnt, leaving a bitter taste. The Iberico pork dish was creatively presented but lacked warmth. It wasn’t quite hot enough, the kailan was overly salty, the Iberico pork itself was just okay, the pancake was bland, and the crispy rice didn’t add much—overall, it just didn’t hit the mark for me.

Service was attentive, which I appreciated. However, given the price, I’d expect free-flow water.

Would I visit again? Maybe, but more likely for lunch.

This is the place that puts a stop to time and brings you back to the good old days!

Like others said, the exterior doesn’t appeal to you but the moment the door opens and you step into the place, you are almost immediately being teleported back to the olden days.

Food was great, service was excellent and atmosphere was THE BEST!

We had a big group of 9 pax with seniors and young kids. Despite this, the staff were attentive to our needs.

Definitely recommend this place for food and a place to chill.
