What recent reviews say

Dulu-Dulu's Malaysian comfort food and specialty toasts draw consistent praise for flavour and freshness. Pan mee, mee siam, and crispy fried chicken routinely impress. Weaknesses cluster around service reliability: waiter speed varies, orders arrive out of sequence, and sauce portions on toasts disappoint against promotional images. Coffee lacks distinction for the price. Stock can run short by midday, and opening-time gaps frustrate drop-in visits.

The space itself offers pleasant ambiance and air conditioning. Best-sellers (pan mee, mee siam, sea salt pistachio toast) rarely disappoint when portions hold up. Staff friendliness is real but uneven; one reviewer noted a server tossing a QR-code board to the table. Value perception splits: food tastes good, but pricing feels aggressive for sauce-light toasts and thin butter portions.

Best for: Comfort-food seekers craving fresh pan mee and noodles, best at off-peak times.
Think twice if: Service inconsistency (slow waiter speed, delayed orders), sauce ratios on toasts fall short of photos, coffee unremarkable for price.

  • Kitchen opens at 11 AM (some customers arrive before then)

Common questions

What time does the kitchen open?
The kitchen opens at 11 AM. One reviewer arrived at 10:30 AM and found it closed, so arriving earlier can mean waiting.
Does Dulu-Dulu serve breakfast?
Yes. Their website lists a 'big breakfast' and the menu includes cendol bingsu, toasts, local coffee, and tea alongside noodle and rice dishes.
Are items usually in stock?
Mid-day visits (around 1–2 PM) can see stock-outs. One reviewer found several items sold out around 2 PM; another noted pistachio sea salt toast was unavailable on their visit.

Most reviewers praise the Vietnamese noodles and baguettes, generous portions, and fresh baked items at fair prices. Service is consistently warm and attentive. However, two separate one-star reviews from a year ago report finding roaches in food, a serious concern that appears to have been addressed in recent months given the run of five-star ratings.

Coffee quality and owner warmth draw regulars, but late openings and inconsistent execution frustrate some. Reviewers praise their vanilla latte and pastries as freshly made and crafted; the owner earns mention for hospitality. However, recurring reports of doors staying locked past 8am opening time, plus complaints about stale pastries and lukewarm drinks at premium prices, suggest operational inconsistency that undercuts the cafe's potential.
