There’s an electrical socket for every table. Seats and tables are comfortable and of the conducive height for studying and paperwork. Toilets have binary separation and are working albeit improperly maintained. They have a little too freezing temperature so better bring a jacket or shawl. Food and drinks are varied and delicious, enough to satiate and energize you in doing lengthy work. Rice meals might be quite costly for students and a bit short in quantity. Ramen is good but is actually an Ottogi instant ramen variant. Strawberry frap is delicious but has weird watery consistency.

Sorry for the amateur poem ;p Boring sunday I decided to walk around malate and checkout some of the relaxing coffee shops. Who knew an internet shop had a decent cafe inside: Ordered some kimbap and a glass of iced americano. Kimbap tasted okay I guess; I mean the vegetable was fresh (crunch! and rice was not too sticky. Chopped kimchi nicely complemented the blandness of the snack. Big serving too. I'm no coffee aficionado the iced americano tasted like coffee : Great way to cool down in this sunday heat. Customers here are so silent. They all have their own world. Clickity clack clack. Concentrated on their laptops. The Koreans on the otherhand were busy with their MOBAs.

Though they don't serve coffee like the commercial cafes but having a fast internet helped me a lot to be productive. I enjoyed my stay here and will definitely come around more often. I just did not gave them a perfect score because they need to get maintenance help asap in the place for the corners where water is dripping.

The place boasts its fast wifi connection according to my friend, that's why we tried it in the first place. For me, it was just okay. I ordered a drink (i already forgot what it was) and it was actually good. The place was quite big. The ambience for me is just so-so.
