Openwork

Located at Gim Shew Building, this hipster cafe may be a little hard to find. But once you do, you'll find a buzzing spot serving up tasty food and drinks. Great for sharing is their popular Original XIAOMING's Gyoza (RM12) that features nicely charred, juicy pork dumplings. Order their super addictive and hearty Chicken Rice Bowl (RM17). The chicken that has a nice crunch on the outside but remains juicy, whille a runny egg and edamame complete the pearly white rice bowl. Wash that down with a refreshing glass of Chrysanthemum Lemonade (RM13).

Came for 阿菊 (Apple Crumble Chrysanthemum Waffle) but the person before us took the last serving 😭 Settled with their cake for the day instead, this slice of warm earl grey orange cake served with a generous scoop of cream cheese. We enjoyed it a lot - the sweet and savory parts complemented each other very well! Only gripe was the slightly dry base.

Asked for a recommendation and ordered this Chrysanthemum Lemonade. We really liked it this interesting combination! It’s definitely a little pricey for the portion but it was very refreshing, with hints of chrysanthemum sweetness.

It's consider newly opened since 2017, a cafe that highlighting gyoza and coffee. With hipster interior design that located at Gim Shew Building, Johor Bharu, it's seems like quite well known among youngsters from the town. Chicken rice bowl （炸雞飯）(RM17) with just nice portion, makes me feel like want to have second bowl of it. Their menu doesn't have much choices of food, but couldn't deny that you won't be disappointed with their quality of food. Friendly staff and comfortable interior, will definitely come back again for this.

This fresh, chewy, combination plays the strength of the ingredients. The flavors are mild, falling back on the natural sweetness of the seafood. The salsa, brightens up the dish with some acidity.

Served with crispy bean curd skin the entire dish comes together in a textural play that’s reminiscent of our childhood days.

Almost like a salsa of sorts, I can't get over how fresh and refreshing this salad was.
Paired with the crispy Taukee, and near endless supply of squid and prawn, we dig in, again and again.
