The reviews seem good hence the decision to try. I'm a little disappointed. Though the dishes are cheap, rm3 for blackpepper fish,( that's a steal no?) but the quality and the taste are below average. I would rather pay more somewhere else to get better food. Overall, suggest you give it a miss whenever is possible. Head to Kim joo... More

Excellent value (~3-4RM per dish). Tasty food. Friendly and helpful staff. Smallish portions so in future we would order 3 dishes between two hungry people.

We ate here twice on the row because the food was so good. We tried the ginger chicken, pineapple fried rice, flat noodles and sweet and sour chicken (that was more like a hot and sour chicken in the UK but still great) and all were excellent. Very reasonably priced and friendly staff. Service was a little slow but not... More

The cafe has a nice setting and ambience. Very simple but true to the Borneo spirit. All the dishes are reasonably priced and I would say if there is any... More

I ordered curry chicken. But it tasted not like curry chicken. The gravy had no curry flavour at all. And they charged me extra 1 ringgit for what I had ordered!

A fantastic small restaurant/cafe with friendly staff, and pleasant, clean surroundings. The food is extremely good value at around 4RM per dish and is well presented and very tasty - I have returned many times over the past few weeks and sampled a range of their menu. Thoroughly recommended!
