"A decent shop with quite delicious menus. Above average rating on the food. Must try : 1. Mushroom Soup with garlic bread. (very soft n flavorful bready - Pizza hut pon kalah!!!) 2. Lamb chop - without sauce itself is great. ( They use lamb shoulder, but if they use fresh meat, i believe it will be 5 star hotel menu) 3. Butter chicken - large portion while its spicy but too creamy. Well balanced. ( most western food shops tend to over do but here they keep the balance) 4. Flexible with menu, we requested their fried keropok which is not in the menu, the boss accomodated our request generously) In summary, a good place to eat western food in perlis. ( I didnt try the spaghetti or any other menu - will try next time)"

"Nice ambiance for hipster cafe. Clean washroom upon we arrive 5.30 to 6. Mushrooms soup ok but not hot enough when we ordered the 1st round. Spaghetti Aglio Olio was nice just that have to mention it less spicy if you order it for kids or adult that scare of heat. Wings was nice and kind of similar w Aglio Olio mix. Steak was a bit tough and hard even we requested medium well for whipped they just using powder mix if I’m not mistaken. If not, sorry for our assumption. Burger ok ok to us acceptable. Fish and chips nice with new dash w green apple salad. Overall we happy with our JJCM in perlis."

"???????????????? (????????/????????/????????????????) Hi , we visited a second time to this particular cafe , overall the service is very consistent! However , the food is a bit lacking :( The mushroom has some improvement because its not so sweet anymore, but it taste like fresh milk :( , I hope they will improve the recipe more .. The taste of the Chicken Carbonara is lacking , dont taste seasoning what so ever.. The garlic mushroom chicken with rice also lack in taste of seasoning.. But the fish n chips have the consistency of taste! Moreover, i hope they will improve more on the consistency of the dishes because it is genuinely a great spot for western food :( . Hellow!! This is my first time visiting to this particular cafe! Overall the cafe exterior is really cool! And the server who attended us was really nice and attentive :D The menu varies from western to rice dishes! The food and drinks that we ordered were superb and up par—with our expectations.. I ordered the fish n chips (8/10) like fulamerk sedap weyh, the fish taste fresh — the batter was very crispy resonate with the fish la very buttery the taste..deffo will order again.. Iced latte (5/10) Im ny opinion, I think the milk doesnt suit with the type of beans that they used , because the espresso tasted a bit watered down :( Overall my family said the food was delicious, except for the mushroom soup — it tasted a bit sweet for our taste.. Nevertheless , I hope they maintain the good quality of the food because it’s definitely a very good food spot for western food! Yet again , tysm to the staff who attended us! We feel really welcomed! We definitely will come again to the cafe ! Tysm!"

"price vs portion 5/5 this is the best highlight i would say. price vs taste 4.5/5 - for steak lovers, dont compare their steak with premium rm200 and above. here their steak is worth the price. what i like about it is the taste, ingredients n texture, they really tried to make a real steak for that price. double thumbs up. drinks 5/5 - taste n price. atmosphere -4/5 i wish that the place is larger n larger table available for larger group dinning."

"The food is amazingly delicious. Big portion with affordable. The cafe ambience is also nice. The only problem might be parking is quite limited. Overall highly recommended if you are looking for delicious western foods."

"The cafe is a bit far from Kangar town but the trip is definitely worth it. We tried the mushroom soup with garlic bread where the soup was succulent while garlic bread properly toasted with the right amount of garlic spread. The fried chicken chop fried rice was excellent where the fried rice itself was flavourful and tasty while the chicken chop was battered down properly and fried nicely. The best was the amazing black pepper sauce which was one of the best I’ve tasted. I’ll definitely come here again and try their other dishes. A must try when you’re in Perlis."
