What recent reviews say

Confit draws crowds for its French bistro style and specialty coffee in a quiet, polished setting. The chef's Swiss and French training shows in standout dishes like beef stew and crème brûlée, yet execution falters on flagship items like duck confit, which reviewers consistently found dry. Portions disappoint relative to pricing. Payment is cash-only or card at order, not table service.

Staff welcome feedback openly, and the vibe attracts repeat visitors keen to explore the menu. Sourdough bread, mushroom soup, and specialty drinks like Iced Mocha with oat milk earn genuine praise. The main friction: consistency and portion size hold it back from stronger endorsement.

Tingkap draws crowds for its authentic retro kampung vibe and reliable satay, roti jala, and traditional kuih at fair prices. Food quality swings noticeably-comfort dishes like nasi kunyit rendang and kuih win praise, while some curries and rice plates disappoint on flavour. Queues run 20-30 minutes at peak times, popular items vanish by 11.30am, and toilet cleanliness issues have frustrated visitors. Staff friendliness varies.

Coffee and pastry quality draw steady traffic, with reviewers consistently praising fruity, aromatic blends and flaky croissants, especially the signature shio pan. The space feels calm and welcoming, though some find pastries lean dry and pricing steep for a PJ Old Town location; ordering can be unclear for first-timers. Staff deliver the basics well, and AC keeps the space comfortable. Parking is genuinely available midweek, a rarity locally. Brunch items like sausage rolls and overnight oats appeal to families, but inconsistency in bread quality and perceived value gaps hold it back from unanimous endorsement.
