Penchant for Taiwanese dishes? Then Life Cafe's the place for you! Located at the end of Carpenter Street, right behind the temple, this cafe is a nice, cozy place to hang out with your friends over a meal of little Taiwanese delights.
Our all time favourite is the Ma La Mian (Spicy Noodles)! Spiciness levels for this bowl of noodles ranges from mild, medium, hot and super hot! The super hot version is surely the one that will set your stomach alight, and your bowels on fire, if you know what I mean..
Personally, I settle for the medium to the hot (on the days that I feel really adventurous).. Other dishes to try is the Taiwan Sausage (garlic is my personal favourite!), the Chives Pancake, Tea Eggs, Guo Tie (pan fried dumplings), the Peanut Butter Toast as well as the Pudding Cake.
They have a whole variety of noodles and rice meals as well as soups and a vegetarian section. They even offer Crocodile meat.. which is something I definitely will not be ordering.. but, whatever suits your tastebuds, aye?
They also have a rather good menu for drinks, such as the famous Taiwan Bubble Tea range, Shaked Milk Green Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, Papaya Milk, normal coffees and teas as well as their own concoctions. Go for them if you feel like trying something totally different!
The one thing that I really like about this place is the decor. Tastefully decorated with paintings and lanterns, the wooden bamboo look goes very well with the type of cafe atmospehere they try to create. There are tables for you to sit at (both inside and outside), as well as an area where you can sit on cushions on the floor and relax. This area is good for a group of friends as you have your privacy to be able to just chill. They also provide some magazines (although mostly Chinese) for their patrons to read.
Another thing that I appreciate is the reasonable prices that they offer for a higher-end coffee shop. A bowl of Ma La Mian is RM3.80, and a drink can go for as cheap as RM 2.50. Very reasonable for the type of atmosphere you get, as well as for quality food.
