The RM3.50 mushroom soup is great. Had the mix grill, not too sure why is deep fried pork chop doing there, potion size is big so it'll be great to share food. Busy at 7.30 onwards

The place is always pack! It is basically beef noodles which is more of a kampua version. The meat is super tender and you can choose plain meat or mixed ( with tripe & tendons etc)

I knew about this restaurant when walked along the Rajang Park along the Rajang river.I browse through their menu before and it seems not cheap compare with the current Sibu standard, more toward hotel price. The environment is cosy and great for gathering. You can make early reservation for your lunch or dinner or event have the party at the restaurant. Interior design is great, no doubt.How about the food? I am not satisfy with it. I had Chao Cai Tapah Fish Soup which had very little fish and the fish was super fishy!! The Lady Finger with XO Sauce(but oily) & Salted Egg Crispy Fish were good. The pineapple rice was disappointing, not really taste the pineapple. Overall with the $$$ I paid, not really worth for this standard of food.They also have the value lunch set for around RM10, you may want to try that if you just want to enjoy the environment but spent less.for full review and picture, you may visit below linkhttp://rainfooddiary.blogspot.sg/2014/06/the-art-cafe-and-restaurants.html

Cafe Cafe at Giant Sibu

Reviewed By 148jacquiv

Service was okay. Menu was limited, mostly Malaysian. The English selection didn't seem enticing enough to try. Ordered fish with honey and garlic - which after a while became batter with honey and garlic. Then a chicken set meal, which sounded okay but when it arrived it was rice, some chicken in a sauce of some sort, battered fried ??cucumbers or cougettes, something else in a sauce and some things that looked like small prawn crackers. Needless to say I didn't eat any as I was expecting something that looked like chicken rice ....... but if you liked traditional Malaysian food I'm sure it would taste delicious. But it wasn't for me.

Reviewed By ASharom

NOTE: TripAdvisor map (at time of writing) has the location wrong. This restaurant is located on Level 5 of the Wisma Sanyan shopping mall.Think chains like Sushi King and the like in that it has the plates on a conveyor belt action going, although the night we were there it hardly had any plates on it. But the ala carte options are pretty good.Sushi was fresh and generally no complaints. Friendly staff.Had a wheel of fortune for bills above RM80 I think it was - so a bit of fun on the way out after paying.

First impression is the lovely atmosphere, being told some of the local will use their cafe as couples' wedding photo taking session. Can see the passion and effort being put by the owner into that cafe. Good service. Those foods being serve are mixture between Asian and Western. Bare in mind portion being served are meant for sharing.

I was really looking forward to dining at this restaurant because of the great write-up it got in my guide book.What a disappointment!!I arrived to dine at 5.50 pm-the restaurant opens at 6 pm.Staff were prompt and I placed my order.The mushroom soup arrived promptly but it was watery and only lukewarm...I looked forward to a better main course....But it was not to be.Meanwhile a table of 5 or 6 people arrived and they placed their order....Time passed and then I noticed that all of them were served-eventhough I had arrived before them.I made two attempts to find out WHEN my food would be ready.At 6.40 pm I was told that my food was being prepared" just now"...I had been in the restaurant for almost an hour at this stage and all I had received was mushroom soup and a coke...I paid for those and left...A very disappointing experience.
