What do recent reviews say?

Frangipani Gardenkita draws loyal customers for its authentic Malay breakfast dishes, especially laksa, nasi lemak, and sup tulang praised for generous broths and rich flavour. Owner Mawar and her team earn consistent recognition for warmth and hospitality. The kitchen sources fresh, organic ingredients daily and bakes pineapple tarts and muruku in-house. Halal certification and reasonable pricing anchor the appeal.

Service reliability and food consistency vary. Reviewers report soggy vegetables, underseasoned dishes, and portions that don't justify prices. During events, menu availability shrinks sharply. A handful flag cleanliness concerns, undercooked fried chicken, and limited payment options (QR only). These gaps seem episodic rather than systemic, though repeat visits have disappointed some former customers.

The Lemon Tree

4.2(1261)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers leave happy about the bright, cozy room and the friendly staff. Many praise the glass walls, the big lemon tree, and how easy it feels to spend a slow afternoon with friends. The food gets mixed notes. Pastries and comfort dishes earn praise, but a few guests found the coffee weak and the food average. One reviewer waited 51 minutes and saw front-counter mistakes, so timing and ordering can be hit or miss.

Diners mostly praise the fresh sourdough, pastries, and drinks at this Tropicana bakery. Staff often get good marks, though one 1-star review describes a rude waiter. A few say the nasi lemak is pricey for its size.
