At night, the space gets lit up with neon lights for a different vibe. And on occasion, you can catch live music here as well.

Customers recommend going for the ambience, as the space is pretty Instaworthy. Food-wise, the petai fried rice and sambal petai pizza seem to be the most popular choices.
