People and places Café @ Johor Bahru
We booked a Grab taxi and headed down to this ulu cafe which is out of the town and hidden right in the industrial area, while the taxi maneuvering through the clusters of lifeless factories during the Christmas eve, our nerve got a little tense if we got the location right.
People and places occupied the lower deck of the two floors open concept units, the place has something growing abundance, lush green real plants are prominently displayed from the main entrance to the walls and the dining floor, it creates a comfortable and relaxing natural feel dining environment. Interior fittings are minimalistic besides the plants but overall good enough for you to snap some good Instagrammable photos.
People and places is an Australia inspired cafe with a taste of Melbourne.
Quesadilla Brekkie (RM 25++/~S$8.30++)
Fluffy Tom Yam scrambled eggs, chicken ham, sliced tomatoes, Alexa’s Sriracha aioli, coriander and Belgium cheddar cheese sandwiched between tortilla sheets. Topped with grated parmesan, pomegranate and a drizzle of pesto oil.
It east and west combination surprisingly good with a well balance of various flavours come together in harmony, a satisfying brunch item to start. (4.0/5.0)
Pan Fried Salmon with Kimchi Cauliflower Rice (RM34.90++/~S$11.59++)
Pan fried salmon fillet, Kimchi Cauliflower Rice, kule, spinach, poached egg, lemon mustard cream, toasted sesame seed.
Another dish with a touch a Asian flavour, Kimchi infused cauliflower rice was fragrant and matched perfectly well with the luscious moist Salmon pan underneath the crisp Salmon’s skin. (4.0/5.0)
Carrot Cake (RM$12.50++/~S$4.20++)
The flavour could be improved and a tad too sweet to our liking. (2.5/5.0)
