Kawan Kawan Cafe

Rieska Ollivia

Folks searching for hipster cafés may be acquainted with Mount Austin, a fairly remote section of Johor Bahru around fifty percent an hour's drive from the town center, as that is home to numerous quirky hipster cafés. Bloom by Mokmok could be a small hardto come across if you're not shopping for it, because the unassuming black external is hidden between home furniture stores on the row of shop homes. But once you part of, a bright neon indication telling "bloom" reassures you you've found the right location and delights you with rows of dried blossoms hanging from the ceiling. Honestly it feels similar to a pub when compared to a café, however the subdued neon & hot lights look good if you ask me. The laundry are Japanese fusion, with hefty burgers matched with chilli-flake infused onion chips or earl grey tea-based syrup poured over custard dessert. Prices have become reasonable too, with most meals at round the 25 MYR variety and a nice sit down elsewhere at 9 MYR. It's among my new beloved cafés inside Johor Bahru, and I'm definitely returning for more!
