Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Freshly juiced carrot combined with orange for a naturally sweet and refreshing healthy drink.

A fizzy, minty, and sweet drink with a hint of lemongrass, perfect for a refreshing burp after the meal.

A thick and heavy cream-based pasta loaded with diced tender chicken, garlic, parmesan, and earthy mushrooms. The noodles leaned more toward soft and chewy rather than al dente. The cream was thick, and the savoury flavour was moderate. It can be quite filling.

Fried deep-sea fish coated in a smooth, crispy batter, served with thick-cut French fries, salad with sesame dressing, tartar sauce, and a toasted lemon wedge. The batter was light and crispy, with a sprinkle of parmesan adding a subtle savouriness. However, the piping hot fish inside was rather plain, though the texture was soft and chewy. The tartar sauce provided a necessary boost to the flavour. Overall, I find it somewhat pricey for its moderate taste.

A homemade floral brew that was sweet and refreshing, though quite sugary.

This is a single-person portion, which felt rather small and somewhat pricey. The bowl contained 4 pieces of spare ribs in a herby soup. The soup had a strong garlic taste, which overshadowed the natural herbal savouriness. The ribs, however, were chewy, easy to debone, and moderately flavoured.

Got attracted by this glistening golden hue of chicken. Its beautifully golden, smooth skin encased soft, tender meat, drizzled with fragrant sesame oil and soy sauce. Mmm... delicious! The chicken was aromatic, with the right texture and flavour to match. While this place is known for Bak Kut Teh, they also offer zichar dishes, and I’d definitely recommend getting this kampung chicken over their bak kut teh.

Have you gotten your matcha fix today?

I got the Matcha Freak (starting from RM 9), where you can customise your own matcha drink. First, you choose the intensity—Easy, Intermediate, or Advance. Naturally, the higher the level, the richer, thicker, and more bitter the matcha, with a corresponding increase in price. I gone for the Advance Level Matcha (RM 14) and added Coffee Jelly as the base (+RM 3) and Honeycomb (+RM 3) as a topping, bringing the total to RM 20.

The matcha is prepared on the spot, with the tea barista carefully scooping matcha powder into a matcha bowl, whisking it with a traditional matcha bamboo whisk, and then pouring it into a cup of fresh milk before adding the toppings. Loved the thick, hearty matcha flavour!

Since I had coffee jelly as the base, it was mixed with the milk. The coffee jelly was small and neat, easy to slurp through the straw, refreshing, and not at all bitter. The addition of honeycomb candy was a wonderful touch. It added a slightly buttery, caramel-like sweetness that enhanced the overall matcha flavour. For extra indulgence, I recommend waiting a bit for the honeycomb to melt into the drink.

Simply pure Niko Neko matcha with hot water, no sugar. It’s plain, healthy, and a comforting, slightly bitter green tea.

A smooth, sweet, milky blend of rich coffee, velvety chocolate, a hint of Irish cream, topped with a creamy tiramisu layer. It comes with a sponge finger to eat on its own or dip into the coffee to intensify the flavour.
