The verdict

Boleh

Jason approves of this hidden cafe in Taman Paramount, praising its chill, artsy ambience and tasty rice bowls despite pricey RM15 lemonades. The RM72 bill stings slightly, but the food and vibe make it worth a visit.

Highlights

  • Price: RM72 for two rice bowls and two lemonades; free water helps
  • Taste: Juicy crispy karaage and a homey otak rice bowl, though lemonades feel overpriced
  • Ambiance: Chill, art-filled cafe with thrifted furniture, great for introverts
  • Other: Artwork by local artists and every furniture piece thrifted

Dishes tried

  • Chicken karaage rice bowl

    Juicy, crispy, sweet-salty karaage sauce; very nice

  • Otak rice bowl

    Creamy, slightly spicy, charcoal grill taste; egg tasteless but delicious overall

    Score 7.0 out of 10
  • Fermented lemon lemonade

    Citrusy, a bit salty; tasty but overpriced at RM15

  • Tomato lemonade

    Cherry tomato flavour; RM15 but she likes it

Did I just find a cafe with good food? Soeku! It's a hidden cafe called Hide and Seek Coffee in Taman Paramount. Fun Fact! Every artwork is from local artists, and every furniture is thrifted. Hit-bopping vibes! It took about 15 minutes before food arrived. The first thing I'm trying is the RM15 lemonade. Citrusy, a bit salty. Have a look at this. What is it called? Like fermented lemon inside. I think it's overpriced for the taste lah. Tasty but too pricey! Next is tomato lemonade that's also RM15. So this one tastes a bit of the cherry tomato. Same kind of citrusy lemonade. The cherry tomato better be worth it! I think you should like it. She likes it! RM15 though. This is the chicken karaage rice bowl. It's a simple dish with the chicken, egg, rice and karaage sauce. Serious? That reaction means I also have to try. It's very nice. The juiciness of the meat, the crispiness of the sweet, and the karaage sauce. Just nice. Sweet. Salty. Good lah! A savory dish! Our second dish is this Otak rice bowl. Comes with seaweed, flakes, omelette egg and rice. Is this another good dish from Highland Sea Coffee? Creamy. It's a bit spicy. It definitely has a nice taste. Got a bit of charcoal grill taste on it. The egg has a nice toin-toin to it but sadly there's no taste. Legit you cannot feel the egginess at all. But the dish as a whole is still delicious. It's like food from that auntie who always cooks for the big family occasions. So we give it a... 7 out of 10. The difference is your auntie's not gonna charge you 72 ringgit for this meal. But you can cut the bill down by drinking their free water. Free and healthy! I'm an introvert so I love the chill ambience And with the artistic decor and good food You should try out this cafe. What's your favourite cafe? I'm an introvert cafe!
