This is one of the coolest and cosiest place to hang out either with family and friends. They serve western and oriental dishes plus marvellous cakes to complete your sweet cravings. One of our favourite dishes is the chicken cordon blue and all time preferred cake, red velvet. The reason I can't give 5 star is due to the food there are a bit overpriced.
