This cafe is located at the faculty of economies and administration building covered with a wide areas. Food quality are very good but sometimes oily due to changes of food items might be. Lots of students usually have their lunch and during lunch time it is very difficult to get a place to eat. Staff are very good and efficient. Well behave. Cafe owner is very humble and modest to everyone. He utilize the feedback from the students and othere customers to improve the quality of food. I usually take lunch there. Lunch price is very convenient for all students. Need to add varieties of drink and roti types of food to attract more customers.

Good food with an incredibly variety spread of dishes. At 3pm they still have many types of chicken and vegetables. They serve curry mee, asam laksa and soto freshly upon order. They've got several snacks options as well. Accompanied by friendly staffs and a peaceful environment, this place is great dining spot.

This one is UM student favorite. There are plenty options of food and they taste good. But often the internet connection was so poor here, making QR payment slow

One of the best place offering plenty of choices of lauk nasi campur in UM. Sometimes they even have tempoyak lemak. And their teh tarik is kaw! Easy to QR pay. Parking can be quite tricky though. You can park near the Intan gate and take the stairs to go down to cafe.
