    Introduction:

    Mr Mark Britt Ruffin from Maryland,USA has been running this cafe since 1997. Back then, dad's shop was just a few doors away and we used to dine at Rock & Rolls quite frequently. And then we moved. Nostalgically, bro brought us back to pay Mr Mark a visit.

    Ambiance:

    Nothing much has changed except our age! Everything else is well kept. The vintage and classic concept that blends along with the coziness of the cafe makes here a perfect place to chill. Mr Mark loves playing guitar and he runs a band, you will note that there are lots of posters of legendary artists and rock & roll bands.

    Fresh fern leaf in light coconut gravy.

       

    Gulai Kambing (Mutton in Indonesian Curry) @ RM 12.00
    Tender mutton with hot and rich uniquely taste curry gravy. Highly pleasing!

    Ayam Gulai (Special Kampung Chicken in Indonesian curry ) @ RM 7.50
    Something different from our local Malay & Indian curry, with the spices and herbs used and creamy curry gravy it's amazingly aromatic.

                       

    Fried egg tofu @ RM 7.00
    Just can't stop attacking for more! Beancurd (Tofu) wrapped with slightly salty fried egg served with sweet soy sauce. Sounds simple but the crispy, slightly salted and sweet combination create an a lovely taste.
