Nalanda Book Cafe

Their prices are super affordable, starting from RM9 for a wholesome, hearty meal. The ambience is amazingly calm and they do provide a small enclosed area for people who prefer some alone time. They have all day set meals starting from RM12.90 for a rotating menu of rice meals, a homemade scone and jam, along with a cup of coffee or tea. One thing about their menu is they show exactly all the ingredients they use in that dish, so you can spot for allergies and food preferences easily, also confirming that you'll be eating whole foods only.

The broth was heartwarming with a good portion of vegetables and black fungus, considering the price, but the soup got slightly salty when it's cold. The carrot cake was perfectly moist and not too dense, just the cream cheese was slightly too oily. I expected more pumpkin goodness from the brownie, but it was chocolatey and moist. (or should I say oily?) The takeaway: Definitely a choice if you don't want to splurge on expensive café food just for the ambience, because you can get the equal peace and quiet here at Nalanda. I would also come back for the warm meals which are definitely worth the price.
