The washroom was comfortable, and a surau is also available. I visited this place 12 years ago, and I\u2019m happy to see that the service is still top-notch.

            Andrew Lim shared, “Aunty Aini\u2019s Garden Caf\u00e9 is a charming and memorable spot for lunch, nestled in a lush, expansive garden offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of town. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with plenty of photo-worthy corners that add to the unique kampung-style dining experience. We were warmly welcomed by the exceptionally friendly staff, who guided us through the menu and recommended the tapai with ice cream for dessert \u2013 a suggestion that turned out to be an unexpected highlight. The tapai was fragrant and lightly sweet, pairing surprisingly well with the creamy ice cream for a refreshing finish to the meal. For the main courses, we had Gulai Lemak Tempoyak Udang Kertas, Gulai Lemak Cili Api Daging Salai, Kerabu Pucuk Paku, and Itik Salai Rendang. Each dish was rich in flavor and thoughtfully prepared. The Gulai Lemak Tempoyak had a distinctive tanginess from the fermented durian that complemented the sweetness of the prawns. The Daging Salai was tender with a smoky heat that lingered pleasantly. The Kerabu Pucuk Paku added a refreshing crunch, and the Itik Salai Rendang was robust, aromatic, and melt-in-the-mouth tender, though quite spicy. Dining at Aunty Aini\u2019s feels like being invited to someone\u2019s home \u2013 there is a personal touch to both the food and the service. It\u2019s easy to see why this place is so well-loved. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
