They have moved to 2, Jalan Chew Peng Loon, Ipoh Garden. Changed to private dining or takeaway only. Advisable to reserve table for dine-in and pre-order food. Great food and drinks here. Their delicious crispy roast pork belly can be pre-ordered. Chilli crabs, bruschetta, glutinous rice, quiche, etc are all delicious. Yummy NZ ice-cream is served here. Love their new place and setting. Friendly bosses....MCO duration only takeaway. Bento rice sets are also available and varies from week to week

What makes this place special is the bold unusual menu in a place saturated with what is considered trendy. Pork burgers are definitely unusual in Malaysia, even among Western menus. There is nothing beef that I can recall on their menu, which is definitely a bold decision by management and chef. And with their pork burgers, there are no regrets. What was fantastic about their pork burgers is that it's freshly and coarsely ground and lightly seasoned. The meat has a bite, which is usually lost in finely ground meat, like frozen beef patty burgers. The fries that came with the burger was nicely seasoned and crispy golden brown. It has not crossed over to over crispy and greasy, which is fantastic. The coleslaw is fantastic too, fresh, cold and crunchy, rivaling even KFC's coleslaw. And the desert... I had the blackcurrant I've cream and cheesecake with passion fruit sauce with a gooseberry on top. Their dessert changes, so what I got may differ from what you'll be getting next time around. Apparently they take reservations too, because there was a large table reserved for a birthday party.

Nice ambience and friendly waiters. Food tastes good although the portion could be small for some. They pride themselves in their imported ice cream, should try at least once.
