Too much hype and instagrammable places these days, makes me confused actually which one to visit first. Been longing want to come here for a long time actually, but didn't get the chance because the crowd and queue. And finally I came here, especially with family! That's more precious right? Took family picture, with beautiful background? Why not?
Anyway, I came here on weekend afternoon around 3 PM (GST +7). This cafe located at PIK area. I will put the address below. I'm just feeling happy to see places with some botanical garden and plants as the ornaments. They got branch at PIM Street Gallery too, but I never visited there. Instead, I visited here because the one at PIK area more popular.

This is how the corner looks like from the front. For me it's looking good and homey feelings with some botanical plants outside. And this corner could be your photo spot too. And for your info, these corner full of real plants. They indeed spare their time to take care of this spot so it looks good everytime.
Once you step inside, you will find this corner too. I took photo of this, just because it is cute one, with little succulents there, and mini plants.
The most popular spot to take photo of. Because, they have beautiful background, with tropical colors, wood ornaments, some artificial sunflowers, and wood bench. So you can sit there, and took photo. But, respect others because you need to queue to get your turn.
You can see the crowd on weekend there? Yes, before get my seat, I listed my name in waiting list too. Not too long actually, because spent of photo taking time. Quite full packed inside, and the alley not too spacious too. So watch your step, so you don't disturb other customer and the waiters.
Came here on 3 PM, which is not the good dinner time. So, I just ordered some dessert and little salad, not the main course. For the drink, I forgot to take the picture. Pardon me, but I will explain to you what I ordered. I just ordered Ice Cendol Latte and Cappuccino for the drinks. The latte was delicious, it not too much caffeine if you're caffeine intolerant. Obviously latte, with cendol added. For the brown sugar it was added, so you can't tell the waiter to adjust as your wish. But don't worry, it was not too sweet. The sweet taste just like usually cendol.
Let's jump to the food!
Not Diet Today, dessert contains Chocolate Brownies, Matcha Ice Cream, Chocolate Chips, Nutella Doughnuts, Raspberry, and Peanut Brittle. How the taste? I FREAKING LOVE IT! Suitable with the name, don't think of diet because it just ruined if you taste this. I love the combination from the raspberry, nutella choux, brownies, and the ice cream. It taste sour and sweet at the same time. PERFECT if you craving for sweets. If coming here again, definitely I would order this one if I don't know what I'm going to order.
Next one, I ordered Romantic Garden Salad. Combination of Pork Belly, Fresh Cut Green Apple, served with Vinegar and Peanut Sauce. From this salad, I definitely love the taste of the pork belly. It somehow tasted like barbecued ribs. The apple itself not too sour, but with the sauce it taste sour. It's good if you taste it all together. But the herbs inside kind of have sharp smell, so be careful if you don't like the sharp taste.
Overall, I satisfied with my food, the service, and the ambience. Definitely will come here again to try again another food. And yes to take photo. Can't take much of photo because of the crowds truthfully. And the best time to come here was like around 11 AM - 3 PM (GST +7). That way, the best sunlight can get into your photo. Make it more bright! And they have Bar downstairs too, open from 5 PM. But couldn't go there because of my time. WISH YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY!
