Staff is efficient and friendly. Today I tried the fried chicken burger (rm16) which was quite tasty. I prefer my burger buns soft (and not the firm crusty type), and this charcoal bun was pretty soft. Nice. The piece of fried chicken was crispy and not dry. Some pieces of lettuce and melted cheese, plus a side of shoestring fries. Overall tasty, wish it was larger though! Recommended.

Hidden cafe in Penampang. Tried the limited edition banana matcha pudding. Authentic i think and taste good. Not too sweet and just nice. Pricing is rm18 quite competitive. Ingredients is top notch.

I love the peaceful ambience. The music is not blasting like other cafes. However, their food is inconsistent. Kadang sedap, kadang menyedihkan. I ordered the same menu and they taste different each time. Hopefully, the boss monitor and improved.

One of my favorite cozy spots to hang out and study. Obsessed with the strawberry matcha – it’s the best! The food is consistently good. iNK checks all the boxes for me: cozy, clean, and comforting. Friendly staff, relaxing music, and great food. Love coming here!
