What recent reviews say

The shop draws crowds for traditional desserts and carrot cakes, but customer experience sours quickly due to staff rudeness, especially a grey-haired man who takes orders with harsh impatience and has been called out across multiple reviews. The ordering system is confusing and slow, parking is difficult, and the cramped space becomes chaotic during peak hours. Food quality is uneven; while some desserts are decent, many reviewers find it mediocre compared to other Ipoh options and not worth returning for.

  • busy and popular

Think twice if: Avoid peak hours or bring patience. Service quality depends heavily on which staff member takes your order, and the grey-haired male staff member is a recurring source of frustration across reviews.

Most visits leave people happy: generous shaved ice with homemade syrups, a warm owner, and a quiet spot near Bercham Primary School. A few earlier reviews mention slow service and artificial-tasting toppings, but recent visits consistently praise the freshness and customizable three-topping options.

Clay pot dishes with tender meat and caramelized rice draw repeat orders, and prices stay low for the quality and portion size. Service varies: some visits bring quick, welcoming staff, but others see overlooked customers and a self-service brush-off at the counter.
