Tell me, how many (especially the ladies) out there who doesn't like to be in a magical place?
And this was exactly what my munchkins decided for their grandma's early birthday luncheon, while they themself can bask in total cuteness with their insta-updates. 😅
A tiny, english-like / korean-vibe little joint that has a contrast grey wall to make their colourful props "pop" with adoration, especially when little children come in and mesmerized in this "wonderland"
Each of the design is craftily placed, with the intention to draw little ones to have their joyful memories recorded with friends and family.

The food are promisingly large in portion, and the taste was well thought of, freshly cooked and well presented.
Though my mom thought the mushroom soup was a little too thick to her liking, but it was actually very decently well made, you can actually taste the richness of the freshly blended mushroom with (a little too) heavy cream that can make that one bowl of mushroom soup a full meal.
Even the croissant sandwich was generously topped. Though it was a little dry... and a little inconvenient to dip the butter sauce base.
I guess I am too used to "sloppy joe" type of sandwiches haha.
My non-coffee beverage of the day. Though the place is well known with its coffee art, but there's a special segment where even the matcha tea was well decorated.
Well, yes, the green tea cost a little more for its artwork than a regular one, which I couldn't find at first, but my niece told me it was right at the bottom; but I digress. I always love a good art work. I almost couldn't bear to destroy this simple adorable piece!
Back to the food...
Fish and chips were exceptionally huge in portion, but of course the price tag wasn't small either. To me, if I were to bring my parents over again, we'd probably share this one plate with a lot more snacks in between.

My mom needed to take a quick "toilet break" and while waiting for her (since the place only has 2 unisex toilets, I was looking around at the and noticed this adorable bar that I guess would be used for dessert display (if there's a big event), but at the moment is just to place cute decorations and additional plates if needed.
If I was younger, I would love to do this jigsaw puzzle with a nice cup of tea. 😁
I even took a picture with the big teddy, thanks to Chat GPT to make my face look more "animated".
(Still learning the promptings, but it's actually quite fun)

With the little crown at the top, though it isn't a "queen type" it was just adorable enough to portray that mom is still the queen and lovable queen though she sometimes get stressed from our mischievousness throughout the years.
Warning! That balloon is actually plastic and hazardous for young toddlers!
Thanks to Chat GPT for making our family photo into Ghibli Studio-like portrait!
@eric.gundam and @philiprenelee
At the end, we were just happy to have spent some quality time with the family.
On the side note:
The parking is actually a lot more expensive, especially weekends; but it is still decent place for brunch if going there first thing in the morning and enjoy a quiet meal before the high-traffic lunch pops in.
In case @shawnnft hasn't tried this place, he can definitely go to this area, he can try out with friends (or even a date? haha) at:
The Teddy, SS7, Zenith Corporate Park, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Until Then
Stay healthy, stay curious and learn new things, and stay happy!
