Food 7/10 Food service was slow n abit mix-up,, mayb bcos of new staff,,.. The food serving with the menu was not accurate, Noodle Soup was much so little compared with the one in the menu.

They've glass noodles, a variety of polo bun sandwiches and sous vide bread chicken here. My hainan noodles (~rm13) with minced meat were okay and the meat portion wasn't bad. The curry chicken mee special was a lot better tho, many thanks to the rich sauce. I really enjoyed my curry (poached) eggs toast (RM6 or 7). The bread wasn't soggy despite adding the curry. The iced hainan coffee was pretty good and the yung yong (prob wrong spelling) drink was okay. The food, drinks and cutlery were served in a reasonable time. Aircond wasn't freezing, there was a boy just watching his ipad after eating and two friends talking for a while after eating. That's how chilled the atmosphere was. The chinese oldies music and aircond really added to the relaxed vibe.

Considered decent food at cafe with affordable price. More options compared to the regular Hainan cafe. Their signature dish is the Hainan fried chicken. I ordered the Mee Siam with the fried chicken. Mee is slightly dry but the chicken do stand out, not dry inside at all. The peanut butter bread is below par. Can taste the bread are not self-made, not like most kopitiams at KK. The Hainan Kopi ping is definitely above decent as compared to other places that serve the drink with good balance of sweetness and bitterness of the roasted coffee beans.

Clean toilet. Ayam goreng nice. Self service hot water, chilli n soup. Kopi nice also.

This restaurant provides the best foods and services! The environment is really clean and comfortable, and also the waiters/ waitresses are super friendly. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!
