It’s really the decor that pulls you in here at this pink cafe. You’ll definitely notice that they have put great effort into selecting their pink cutleries.

I’m obsessed with their K-Glazed Wings (RM28.60), a Korean-style chicken wing with the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavours. Their Pink Signature Burger (RM32.60) is a thick and juicy burger that’s drenched in sauce. It’s served comes with pink fries that look cute but taste similar to normal fries.

They also have other hot meals available such as Seafood Aglio Olio (RM28.60), with fresh shrimp and mussels, and the Goguma Pizza (RM33.60), a thin and crispy pizza topped with goguma (sweet potato).

I can tell that they put a lot of effort into the presentation. All the dishes look visually appetising and that’s what makes the whole meal experience more enjoyable!

For drinks, I tried their Pinky Patrick (RM25.60), a blend of fresh strawberries and creamy yogurt. It’s slightly sour with a smooth, creamy taste; and rather pricey in my opinion.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a self-care day, this cafe is a delightful retreat. It’s an adorable spot for social gatherings such as birthday parties, and quick catch-up brunch sesh thanks to its setting.

The food is amazing, and the atmosphere is so fun and welcoming. It’s not just a place for kids, the colourful treats and playful environment will mesmerise adults too. You’ll feel like you’re in a real-life Barbie movie!
