Perfect in imperfections. Some local young folks into the F&B scene. Good for another venue that serves the full range of food without compromise to certain folks. Loves the vides of music and decor. Very homely. Decent pasta in cream sauce which they call carbonara. Average tiramisu, at least it is the real deal with alcohol. Overall interesting store.

Not your typical cafe food here. We started with Tatter Tots which were perfectly fried, good quality ones or so we thought. The Mushroom Soup which was highly recommended in the reviews did not disappoint, it was so smooth and well seasoned and the thin crispy garlic bread slices that accompanied were perfect to hold the soup in bite size. Next, we had the Spanish Prawns also served with a bread basket, this time with soft bread slices which is perfect for soaking up that umami sauce. Ended the meal with the Curry Laksa Pasta, served with fresh prawns and again, well balanced flavour and not overly jelat. Would come back again in a heartbeat! P/S: Ambience is quite romantic, perfect for date nights!

Had a great dining experience at The Garden Porch, interior was cozy and air conditioned after they renovated. Highly recommend their mushroom soup (creamy with an intense mushroom flavour), laksa pasta which came with juicy prawns and the sauce was not overly rich, and chocolate lava cake (love the dark intense chocolate filling oozing out ). Great place to have a casual lunch with their lunch set menus, or to celebrate special occasions with family and friends!
