What johnny likes about Formosa Cafe:
A cute, casual, little Malaysian dessert shop with both sweet and savory goods! They have a rotating menu, so recommend checking their instagram for the latest desserts.The desserts feature Western influences with Eastern flavors, like pandan cake and ube and durian flavored burnt cheesecakes. The cheesecakes, while flavorful, were too cakey to be considered cheesecake. The pandan cake was also too dense for a sponge... View all feedback. What Eva G doesn't like about Formosa Cafe:
Came here for the first time and I tried nasi lemak for $13. Was expecting more, but it was just alright. Haven't tried the kuih, so will go back and try them some time. The place is small, there are some outdoor seatings. It's a small family owned business. Menu changes every weekend. View all feedback.

Best milk tea! This is coming from someone who has a bubble 2-3 times a week. Popcorn chicken is tasty too!
