We visited the restaurant in Setapak. One of the plus points is that their vegetables are very fresh as it is direct from their farm in Bukit Tinggi. A good tip is to buy the fresh vegetables as they are 3 packets for RM 10 while a plate of cooked vegetables costs more than RM 10. Prices of the cooked food are a little on the high side. Do try the chilled ginseng tea and fresh passionfuit drink as well ... very refreshing. The service depends on the waiter which you get, there are two very pleasant ones while the others ... er, not too pleasant.

This restaurant is a typical Indian-Muslim or mamak eating shop. I tries their mee goreng mamak recently for supper and the food is good! The price is reasonable and the portion is generous too. The drink is slightly above average. Shall go here again to have food fix the next time I pass by Karak town.

The café is part of the property of the adjoining Danau Daun Chalet, which carries a little bit of Balinese ambience.
The café is next to the road side with sufficient parking. It was managed by a couple of ladies.
Furniture are mainly made from recycled wood. I love the outdoor Seating of the slope: overlooking the pool, surrounded by bamboo groove and different species of towering trees. Shady and windy.
The menu consists of mainly Malaysian fares and reasonably priced. I ordered fried rice with omelette and was surprisingly tasty. The Kopi Janda Baik tasted average. There's no cappuccino, desserts so on. No wifi too.
Come on weekdays and you could be the only guest.

Tucked in the middle of the “jungle” you’ll find this gem a welcome break so you can have your espresso based coffee while “Glamping” at Janda Baik.
We stayed 2 nights somewhere and enjoyed the coffee here with the kids. They enjoyed running around, discovering the passion fruit trees, little ducks and different plants around.
We enjoyed the coffee and the wonderful surrounding, rustic wood furniture and the spacious expanse of the cafe.
Highly recommended if you want a decent cuppa while here in the area. Not sure about the food. We had coffee and the caramel bananas.
Would come back again for sure! Bring mosquito spray if you’re afraid of bites. We went during the light rain, which meant fresh air, no mosquitoes and we had the whole place to ourselves!

We found the food tasty, inexpensive and service was fast if somewhat impersonal. The restaurant also sells local biscuits and cooking ingredients at reasonable prices and just outside the restaurant there are vegetable and fruit stalls making this a good one stop centre if you are stopping by Janda Baik.

Short but sweet visit. Tried the chocolate and coconut icecreams. Delightful. Tried the cendol. Lovely. People kept coming into the little shop. That shows their desserts are good. Staff are friendly too. Would go back for a visit when I am in Bentong, that's for sure.

Located about 10 mins drive above Bukit Tinggi town set in jungle and pine Forests of Janda Baik. Restaurant is located in a large and well maintained wooden structure and has fine views across an immaculate lawn and small pond of the surrounding jungle / pine forest. There is almost a Swiss feel to the place.
However the restaurant itself was a big let down. Menu choice seamed minimal, service was poor and prices were very expensive. I would recommend eating in one of the many excellent restaurants actually in Bukit Tinggi before driving up to this location for just a quick look.
It is popular for outdoor weddings, there was one on the lawn during our visit.
Worth a quick look but don't linger.

Came here for breakfast . Interesting venue off the road , seems to be a bikers favourite. Would recommend just to get a flavour of authentic malay food . Varied menu with extremely reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back to try their meat rending, was not ready as was too early. The lemang and chicken rending was very good abide too salty for me. Nice atmosphere . It is a serve yourself so no waiters.

Location was spot on! Directly next door to Tras Mutiara hotel which made it so convenient for us to pop over for a meal. Also located within a short walk across the street to TF Mart. Parking was usually not too much of an issue.
The food was pretty standard as all Old Town White Coffee shares the same franchise menu. My favourite has always been the springy instant noodle with ham, sausage & egg.
