I visited during their soft launch, all meals were free to all customers. 
Thank you Boss.

It was a place for art before, so one can find the exterior walls and frontage with beautiful murals. Once inside, the interior is furnished with wood theme and furniture that are art pieces too. Even the chiller is being clad with wood (as shown in the photo).

I had Kopi C and it wowed me as it had a nice fragrant roasted aroma. It is similar to Daily Grain Bakery's 每日五谷 version. 

Without a menu, I chose this Hainanese Chicken Chop as the server introduced what was available for ordering. The tomato based gravy with sliced onions reminded me of the pasta sauce. But I like it. The egg needs improvement in presentation. Potato wedges were thick, nicely fried and tasty. Chicken Chop was fried with a very crispy and brittle batter. It was succulent and of reasonable size. 

Pre-packed Nasi Lemak, Mee Siam and Fried Noodle were also available. Toasts and half-boiled eggs too.

Fishball has very nice texture 鱼丸的口感很好。

Chilli Sauce was both spicy and fragrant, very syok. 辣椒酱好香辣，我喜欢。Fresh Pork Lard is available (at the cooking station) for customers to DIY.

The clear soup tasted deliciously sweet and savoury. 

Coffee / Kopi (weekends not available) , I like it.

Pig's liver and kidney and the prawn were blanched to perfection, just cooked (not bloody) and remained tender. A huge plus point.

The Stall

Nasi Lemak Rm 2.50

Sambal Chilli was the highlight. Rich in onion fragrance and of the sweet slant, very fresh to the palate. Rice is slightly too moist and lemak.  

Roti Canai Rm 1.00.
Fluffy and nice. 

I like the coffee / kopi here, it has a hint of roasted fragrance and always served steaming hot.

The front view of the Kopitiam, now without the signboard, alaong Jalan Dato Toh Ah Boon.

What we like:

Nice natural greenery surrounding the club with a natural pond in front of the infinity swimming pool.
It provides a serene spot for relaxing the mind, while still in the bustling city.

Ambiance that is unique not easily found in other clubs. 

New building and is well maintained. Clean and comfortable environment.

Friendly service staff.

What we don't like:

The driveway leading to the club is not obvious and the signboard is located in a disadvantageous spot that motorists will find it difficult to look for it.

Available:

Swimming Pool (open to Public at Rm 10 nett per person, children as well)
Games Room
Restaurant (Menu and promotions in photos)
Bar
Meeting Rooms
Gymnasium
Fishing at the lake
