I enjoyed eating here. I would like to thank the other reviewers for telling me about this place. The cafe is spacious and serves a buffet with a good variety of Malay food. The prices are very reasonable. The names of the dishes could be displayed, if possible. The food is tasty and hygienic. A good option if you are near Muzium Negara.

My five friends and I ate here after exploring the Muzium Negara. Initially, we wanted to order biryani rice for five people, but it wasn’t ready yet, even though it was already 12 noon. It seems the biryani is ready later in the afternoon. So, we ended up ordering from the buffet. The price for all the food in this photo was under 10 Ringgit. Very affordable, especially since we were prepared for higher prices (considering it’s in a tourist area). But it turned out not to be the case. The food was delicious and suited my Indonesian taste. For the sweet tea, you can help yourself to however much you like. Suggestion: please provide lids for each food pot on the buffet table to maintain hygiene, as all the pots were served uncovered in an open area. By the way, the buffet table is located outside the restaurant. It’s easy for dust to fly around and land on the food.

This cozy, glass-enclosed cafe is one of the city's best kept secrets. For such a cute place, it's surprisingly affordable (8 ringgit for a filling chicken and mushroom pie). It's such a pleasant environment; this merits being a destination even if you're not visiting the museum. (The cafe is separate from the museum, so you don't have to pay an admission fee.) I wish I had discovered this place ages ago!

Semua sedap! Nyaman for small gatherings or meeting friends. The pulut durian set was a special order/request. Call ahead few days if you want to ask for any specific/special menu.

Love the foods here, it's very tasty and cheap. Recently visited Muzium Negara, went for lunch on Sunday, expecting it's tourist attraction price but no, they give locals reasonable price and even, some of the menu stated fixed price. Give a try.
