Impressive! I've never had such a wonderful meal in my life before. The place was stunning, food was well cooked, and most importantly the idea of combining f&b and letterpress studio is brilliant, it is beyond the concept of cafe!

Gf found this shop thru grab, and oh boy was it a great find. Just visited the place, and all I can say is that we will be back for more. The ambience and aesthetic of the place is unique in its own way. The food did not miss! Hits after hits, they were to our liking. We ordered the Ramly beef don, cold braised mee suah. For drink we got the pink guava lime soda. Everything was goood! Highly recommend! #supportlocal
