What do recent reviews say?

The cafe's Truffle Sunny Pasta and Korean fusion dishes build its reputation; reviewers praise creamy, flavourful pasta, generous portions, and a calm atmosphere. Staff handle rush periods fairly quickly, though a few find prices steep and occasionally spot frozen ingredients or missed orders when full.

Recent visits highlight matcha drinks, pizza, and tiramisu alongside the pasta signatures. Most reviewers see the hype as earned, and the cosy environment suits both casual meals and meetups. A 3-week cluster of five-star reviews and quick service even during queues show consistency.

Most diners praise the blend of traditional Malay and Western dishes, highlighting flavourful mains like chicken percik, Sunday roast beef, and laksa alongside strong desserts. The space feels homey and clean with attentive service, drawing repeat visits from nearby office workers and families. Recent pricing complaints focus on value for traditional fare like roti canai and kari kambing at RM25 and laksa at RM30, though quality of execution wins over most reviewers. A few signature items like teh tarik serai polarize; staff consistently earn compliments for warmth and helpfulness.

Steak and fries draw consistent praise, and the sourdough bread impresses diners familiar with European standards. Service staff earn recognition for attentiveness, especially on birthdays and group dinners. Reservations are essential; the neighbourhood bistro vibe appeals to those marking occasions. Recent visits surface tension between price and execution: beef bourguignon pie and mains sometimes disappoint, though pies, cold capellini, and lamb rack find enthusiasts. Parking is tight in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. Staff recover well from mishaps (broken pepper mill replaced the soup automatically).

Foo Foo earns consistent praise for desserts that go beyond typical cafe offerings, with flavors like strawberry tart with balsamic vinegar ice cream and carefully balanced combinations. The space feels intimate and thoughtfully decorated, though weekends fill quickly and expect waits; reservations are advised. Service is reliable and friendly, but some recent visits highlight uneven execution-burnt eclairs and overly indulgent portions sit alongside standout successes that leave diners eager to return.
