A mixed bag

Pinang Masak Café offers good Minangkabau food, but that depends on when you drop by.

DINING at Pinang Masak Café in Bukit Tunku on the weekends is a totally different experience compared to weekdays. Our first visit to the café was on a Saturday afternoon when Rif and I wanted a break from our usual chap fan (mix rice). We were greeted by a friendly old man, who gave us attentive service throughout our lunch. Sadly, we didn’t enjoy the same dining experience during our second visit for a weekday lunch. I’ll describe my earlier visit first.
