πŸ‘πŸ‘ This place is wonderful! We asked recommendations and the desserts served are absolutely tasty. My favourite was the earl grey tart (although we initially only wanted the shave iced), the crust was very good! People often mention good, cafe, hotel, shaved, peanut, service,

    Nice quiet place to chill that's kinda hidden away in Fives hotel opposite komtar jbcc. Had the yam and soya shaved ice, which was delicious. Fresh, great flavours and not too sweet. Coffee was surprisingly decent too. Very quiet even on a Sat afternoon. There are also plenty of wall sockets available if needed.

    Place was not at a place with high foot traffic, but it is just a short walk from city square mall, right opposite KOMTAR. It is found in Fives Hotel. Very friendly staff and very good food. Tried the DIY kacang, taking the macha ice base with mango, taro paste and peanut mochi, pandan kaya tart, roti john, and a cuppachino The mangos were fresh and the best topping from the ice kacang. The roti john was well made and came with a side of chips. The amount of meat, egg, and onions in the roti john was surprisingly large for the size of the bun. The highlight would have been the pandan tart with very tasty filling. The total cost was 55RM, including service charge, making it a very value for money cafe.

    Visited this cafe as we stayed at Fives hotel. Staff were polite, cafe was clean. Tried their egg tarts (creme burlee and berries)thinking it was like other similar tarts but we we wrong , the egg tasted fresh and crust were crispy, and not sweet. We had the mango shaved ice too, mango were slightly sour but complement well the sweetness of the other ingredients. I hope this cafe can stays through the test of time.

    Very nice ambiance, and a good selection of food menu. Dessert and shaved iced are good and rich in flavor. Food are decent portion, nasi lemak sambal has a punch of kick, rendang ayam is taste good too. They have a few creative flavour of egg tart, cendol tart is the top list.

    BINGSU… Malaysian style . Your hunt for the famous Cendol BINGSU with a twist is here @ FIVES hotel . Hidden GEM on the lobby of FIVES hotel is Kacang & Peanut Cafe. Meet the young lady BOSS YUMI πŸ₯° she’s simply awesome …just ask her anything .. nothing is too troublesome for her . Hahaha I had to ask her to describe each and every delicacies BINGSU-Malaysian style cos we have β€œ limited sugar quotas”… and trust me the sweetness is JUST perfect πŸ‘πŸ» We also tried the Signature Nasi Lemak …yumsss I have reviewed the famed Bangkok AFTER YOU - Mango Sticky Rice BINGSU a month ago , and I think we found our very own Malaysian Version of BINGSU )… don’t take my words for it .. go try when u r in JB city Check them out .. some prominent landmarks, few doors away from Haidilao or directly opposite JBCC Komtar . Inside the FIVEs hotel .

    This place looks like it’s newly opened. Very clean and sleek design! Cafe was very quiet on a weekday evening. Food standards were acceptable, prices are regular cafe pricing not too cheap/expensive. Nasi Lemak chicken had a mix of chicken breast and thigh so some parts were a little dry. Milo Kepal is flavourful but very sweet. The milo balls and biscuit were of good quality and not soggy at all :) Staff had good service and were very polite.

    Just visited this cafe today. We tried their Yammy Cendol. The taste perfectly blend. Not too sweet. We also ordered two Pudding Tart, Coffee and Pandan Coconut. Since I am not into coffee, the taste quite weird for me (different people have different taste) and quite good for pandan coconut. For the ambient, I think it's photo worthy place. Cozy, and I can say minimalist. not so much decoration but it's pleasant to my eyes. Good to catch up with your friends As for the parking, you guys can park inside the hotel parking area (oops this place located inside hotel area), and you can get free park. Bring the ticket and they stamp for you guys. Oh, the lady I think the boss, gave y us their new cookies. It super good. Salted egg cookies.

    Hope there could be more kacang/peanut main dishes or desserts in the future. I expect the menu to have β€œmore peanut" just as the name of the shop. Nasi lemak is yummy(crispy ikan bilis, spicyness level, flavourful rice), but the mentaiko in the sauce is stingy, can only taste the mayonnaise. I'm not satisfied overall as a big fan of peanut and mentaiko. The food itself is not bad. It's the social media that pushes too hard, leading to high expectations.

    Very cosy and quiet place to chill out at! The food is decent and yammy chendol is yummy! They have interesting flavored tarts too, loved the peanut and chendol flavours. πŸ‘πŸ»

    Place is located within the Fives hotel. Tried the yammy chendol. Love the shaved ice chendol combi with the creamy yam + yam cubes! Whilst the price is no where near what one has to pay for shaved ice dessert from hawker/food court, but you cant really compare to that as the quality and the fineness of the shaved ice is what you would expect from a bingsu outlet. Will definitely return for more!

    The nyonya tai tai is super delicious, it's rich in coconut milk & pandan. I ordered the nasi lemak with nyonya curry chicken The nasi lemak with sambal chilli is so yummy, I'm able to finish the rice without the curry hahahaha

    Ordered nasi lemak, assam laksa, cendol nenek and mango ice (customised). The desserts were very good, texture of ice was soft and very bingsu-like.

    Kacang & Peanut Cafe is located near City Square and it’s next to Fives Hotel. Yam Soya - taro chunks with peanut muah chee on shaved soya milk ice, love the interesting combination! Also bought the egg tarts, original and creme brΓ»lΓ©e which are good too!

    Kacang and Peanut Cafe always the catering company consistently delivers excellent service, meeting and often exceeding expectations. From the quality of the cuisine to the presentation, every detail is meticulously attended to. Their team's professionalism and attention to customer needs contribute to a seamless and enjoyable catering experience. Overall, I would rate them very highly, and they have earned full marks for their exceptional service. Going to engage their service more for next company event again.
