Trying a random spot @ Wisma Merdeka. Quite a chill place for a quick lunch break from all that walking. No complaint here. Nice ambience, good food, refreshing drink though I feel like it’s too pricey per ML served. The french fries were meh but the sweet potato fries were really good. Salad was good as well though I like my salad with mayonnaise on it just because All around a good underrated place to hangout with friends instead of going to other overcrowded areas.

Alright seems like I found all the best of my favourites on the last day of my trip in this modest mall! After makan at My Home Recipe I stopped here (just next shop) for coffee. The iced latte is it! Nothing fancy, with fancy prices. Just an iced latte! That’s not too hard is it lol… They have nice cosy seats and ambience too, and this is where I am typing this down. Very comfortable, affordable and nice coffee!

The best coffee in town, excellent taste and beans. Luxury spacious seating area with a kids corner. Is a best location for gathering with friends, and also a wise choice to come with family. Kids can play toys and read books at the kids corner. Very good place to bring friends here, chit chat, the environment is not that noisy.

I had a refreshing light snack at T-Culture Café hosted by Tong Department Store at Wisma Merdeka • French Fries – Crispy, golden, and just the right amount of salty. Classic and satisfying. • Sweet Potato Fries – Thicker cuts, slightly sweet and soft inside. A nice balance to the regular fries. • Green Salad – Fresh, crunchy greens salad topped with juicy tomatoes and julliened cucumber Light and healthy, served with a zesty dressing. • Passion Fruit Tea – Cool and tangy, super refreshing especially with ice. The cozy ambiance, warm lighting, and artsy decor made the whole experience feel laid-back yet vibrant. Perfect for a casual lunch or a hangout session.
