A casual hangout in Bukit Gasing where darts players and friends gather for coffee and company. Half its reviews are five-star, though limited detail on food or modern cafe amenities.

Oz Cafe consistently wins over visitors with generously portioned dishes-nasi lemak, sandwiches, and soups-all thoughtfully plated and reasonably priced. The owners, a husband-and-wife team, create a genuinely warm space with hand-painted art, board games, and a pool table. Regulars praise the homemade sausages and apple crumble, and staff remember small requests (one reviewer received a surprise cupcake). The cafe feels personal rather than commercial, attracting families and friends seeking comfort food in a relaxed setting.

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.
