Recap of Memory at Reminisce Café, Mid Valley

Upon entering this new café, I was brought back to the past. the café’s name itself – Reminisce is definitely promise a new dining experience with “special” feelings with you. You will see what I mean when you see the pictures below.

Before showing you the food, let me show you the menu.

The first thing that was served really attracted my attention., which was just as simple as Milo and “kiam pia” (hokkien).

The menu is pretty extensive with street snacks, noodles, rice as well as desserts. Some of the street snacks we sampled were the Stuffed Pork Balls, Spring Rolls and Deep Fried Nian Gao. I simply loved the Nian Gao, it was done just the way my grandma does it during Chinese New Year! Now we don’t have to wait until Chinese New Year to be able to savour this snack.
