Ma shaa Allah.. Such a lovely place for authentic cuisine of Malaysia. Just a stone throw from Sg Gombak n Sg Klang. Take the LRT station Masjid Jamek just 4 mins away.

We tried their famous Tarik Tea with cake and it is delicious. We also saw that it has soft drinks, coffee and more elaborate drinks. The view of the river of life is unique, since it is the only cafe with tables and chairs. We have taken some good photos. The place is calm and cool. The ambience is so cool and relax. We finish our tour of Chinatown and Central Market here. I recommend it, since it also has good WI-FI. It is a reliable place for tea and coffee. If you don't dare, you have cold coffee and canned tea or other options. Something important is that there are no insects hanging around, and this is because this public space area is so clean and preserved for tourist. It is also a safe place since there are people and tourists all the time. We have also seen police officers watching and doing walks. Safe, quiet, nice, delicious, and charming. That's it.

Lovely place! Texted their IG about wagyu availability. When i reached, their crew knew what i wanted. I was amazed by the services there! Nice place to chill (during working days i guess as their weekend looks packed with cyclist) The crew there very friendly and knowledgable about their menu. Just awesome able to dropby today in the middle of busy work-day-commute (i cycle too) MakanBuzz... i'll definitely be back for more Thanks again for today's meal!

A very nice place to hang out drinking coffee by the river in Kuala Lumpur, very nice view in front of the cafe. KL should have many more places like this. I ordered latte, curry puff and toast. The latte is not so good for me, the latte at Family Mart or McD is better, tastier and much cheaper. I expect a better latte because they use quite good coffee as well. I expect the latte to have a little latte art, then it's worth it.
