It’s a coffee shop that lets you go back to your childhood, and its style is dreamy. I believe every girl coming in here will be very crazy to take pictures. It’s a pink house and discovered in Johor Bahru. Although there are many fashionable restaurants in the vicinity of the city square mall with industrial decor, this slightly higher restaurant will be a paradise for all pink girls. Once Upon A Time Cafe & Boutique stands out for its modish decor, all decked out in an eye-catching shade of pink.

When most people come to this cafe for dessert, you’ll be glad to know that they also serve staples-like pasta, pizza and sandwiches. The outer layer of the toast is hard and crisp, so the knife takes a lot of strength to pass through. But it’s furry, and it fits well with the ingredients. For a themed coffee shop, the price here is very qualified. If you are a girl, this all-pink coffee shop is worth the trip, especially in the beautiful environment.

It has a high ceilings and massive windows; this charming cafe carries an industrial loft feel that’s akin to cafes like Wheeler’s Yard in Singapore. If there is no delicious brunch to support this sense of beauty, it is not a truly Melbourne-inspired cafe. The most popular is Quesadilla Brekkie. It is a pretty platter of soft tortillas stuffed with tom yum scrambled eggs, chicken ham, tomatoes, sriracha aioli, coriander and cheddar cheese. Parmesan, pomegranate and pesto oil are then rained on, giving vivid pops of colour. Their popular project is Quesadilla Brekkie, this creative Mexican-Thai plate is a welcome change from humdrum brunch like egg Benedict. Its taste combination was an astonishing success, with tortilla holding sweet and creamy Tom eggs.
