Remarks & Opinion:
Did not know what to eat and was driving around and chance upon this interesting place - comtemporary decor with clean white brown theme! Just gives you a feeling of comfort and cleanliness! Probably It was the decor that caught my attention. Though I like the decor, on second thoughts was thinking will I be making a wrong decision as most kopitiam don't serve good food and in addition most are ready made/microwaved food. Anyway can't leave as I have entered - will give it a shot! Herein my opinion on the food:-
With a wifi of 5mbps and ample power points, this is one place to consider to work and eat for those who do not like to be bogged down within an office environment like myself.

    Penang Assam Laksa
When it was served, I was not paying attention (was replying to an email) as I have actually resigned myself to just enjoy the environment and not the food. The aroma from the assam laksa was so captivating that I put away my phone immediately and focus on the bowl of inviting assam laksa. I tasted the soup and I am right - the aroma and the taste is as good!It is not watery and not spiking or ascerbic. It carries a well balanced savoury tatse with a tinge of tanginess that keep you scooping the soup. I would have rated this assam laksa higher if not for the noodle. It is too soft. Well, what is left of a full bowl of soup tells you something special about the soup!
Ordered ice almond milk - on its own it taste fantastic. It is creamy but not thick and "sandy"! and most important it is not overly sweet. However, something is wrong with me. How can I order almond milk to go with assam laksa!Gosh!
