They’ve grown a cult around this velveteen, melted cheese, so you’ve got to check out what they’re putting on a plate.

Salted Egg Yolk Dirty Benny – An eggs‑tastic breakfast affair: brioche, turkey ham, poached eggs topped with a silky salted egg yolk sauce, buttered cereal, and a crisp garden salad with chicken sausages. Breakfast goals, right?
Dada Ayam Pasta – Think “house‑crafted brown sauce” ranged over black‑pepper chicken, spring onions, and a pasta base that leans less toward the classic and more toward “wow, how’s this idea?”
Beef Steak & Raclette – This is the star: a grass‑fed New Zealand tenderloin grilled to perfection, served with baked potatoes, fresh salad greens, all crowned under a sea of melted Swiss raclette. Such a dish could practically be Michelin‑level, but it happens out on the sidewalk.

And the pièce de résistance: Milo with Fried Chicken Pops. Picture this—fried chicken, drizzled with a star‑burst Milo powder, served with two dipping sauces: a spicy sambal belachan mayo and a dreamy nacho cheese. Feel your Instagram grind go from meh to OMG!
