The Hyphen — Restaurant in Borneo

Clean and tastefully furnished cafe with decent food. Suitable for hangouts and maybe even a date? But not quite there for coffee and desserts.

Coffee: The art left much to be desired and our table's coffee lover said the coffee was a meh.

Chicken Rice: Despite its name, it is not teriyaki chicken for it has neither the glaze ("tare") nor the grill/broil ("yaki") elements to it. The dish is actually soy sauce chicken rice and is fairly decent as that. The salad side is well seasoned with salt and black pepper and the short grain rice was properly cooked. Could possibly do with a fried egg on the rice to balance its pricing.

Avacado Toast: For the price, it is a generous serving of cream cheese and avocado and the seasoning is spot on. If you ever want an instant dose of good healthy fats and don't want to wait or do it yourself, then this toast is for you. The toasted bread itself isn't particularly special or great.

Egg mayo toast: It is has reasonably good flavour and texture. For RM5, I can't really expect much else.

Honey Cheese Tart: It was a let down unfortunately. The pairing of honey with dense sweet cheesecake and white chocolate just overloads the palate. In the end you don't really taste anything anymore. The cheesecake filling was also overdone and stodgy. One friend got a headache...

A cozy co-working place/cafe where one can simply bring a laptop here plug it in, order some food and beverages then enjoy the afternoon with decent good food while working away quietly.

The food here are quite reasonably charged. With most of them not exceeding Rm20 per portion, i would say it is a very good deal/idea coming here for the afternoon doing some work or just plainly studying. Came here a lot of times and the food never disappoints me. Although it is not super special must eat but they are on par with any of the cafe/restaurants outside albeit at a cheaper price! (Forgot to take picture of the the menu haha! Will add in next time!)

This cafe have two sections, one is for regular customers looking for a yumcha time with friends where there are round tables. Another section is the cubicles section where we can come and do some work/studying!

Yes! Haha! I came with my popo! 😂👍🏻 15...

Went back them after covid, they have more food on their menu now. Tried their honey mustard chicken and smoked salmon sourdough. Both were pretty good I would say. Chicken were cooked well, sauce was flavourful not the typical mustard, salad was fresh and crunch. The portion of smoked salmon was quite generous and egg was good as well. Sourdough was decent(taste very healthy if you know what I mean), not the best you can get in town. Iced houjicha espresso latte was my favoured there. I suggest to not stir the drink when served and you can taste them separately from below up 🤣 (houjicha at the bottom and espresso on top). Their americano was a bit too dark for me and nothing special. Desserts were really yummy and it comes in different flavours depending on your luck. I have tried chocolate, mango and some others I can’t quite recall. All where good if you have a...
