When you see an old television outside, you can be rest assured you are at the right place. The vintage Chinese-feel cafe serves sandwiches, brownies, ice-cream, espresso and local coffee. However, their all-day breakfasts sets and delicious pancakes are their specialties. The pancakes are fluffy and tender. The pandan pancakes with gula melaka is something you shouldn’t miss if you drop by.
