Yearn Cafe, located in Kampung Atap of Pontian Kechil, is not far from the town centre and very near to New Dawn Hotel. The cafe is a hidden gem tucked among rows of traditional shops.
The cafe has simple decorations and is very neat and tidy. It has a very relaxing vibe. There is a Mona Studio — for eyelash, nails and waxing — inside the cafe. The lady owner is very friendly and will introduce each item on the menu.
The cafe serves hot / iced black, white and Isuzu Matcha espresso coffees. There are fruit teas, fruit & Yakult and fruit & yogurt blended beverages too. The avocado yogurt blended is smooth, creamy, refreshing and a really great drink to have on hot days.
For main dishes, the cafe has couple of Japanese-style rice bowls and Chinese-style sour-spicy dishes with/without knife-shaved noodle. There are various (French-style) baguettes and Chinese dumplings too.
The Suan La Ban (酸辣拌) is a crunchy sour-spicy dish with no staple — rice can be ordered separately. The dish is served with shredded chicken, sliced abalone mushroom, shredded Japanese cucumber and soybean sprouts tossed in flavourful sour and mild-spicy sauce and accompanied by crunchy peanuts. It is amazing that, other than the shredded chicken, all other ingredients have different degrees of crunchiness. It is a delicious dish that is definitely a must-try.
Yearn Cafe's homemade cakes are displayed in a glass shelf at the bar counter. There are basque burnt cheesecakes with various flavours (original, Isuzu Matcha, pistachio) and tiramisu — the types of cake may change after a period.
The tiramisu (containing alcohol) has very mild alcoholic and coffee flavours with very soft and creamy mascarpone layers. The tiny leaves (wonder what is it?) on the cake seems to be for decorative purpose but it does have a unique taste.
It will be really special to have a spread of different styles of dishes on the table when dining in Yearn Cafe.
