My family and I recently visited a newly opened garden-themed cafe close to our apartment called Ynot Cafe, though I'm not sure how to pronounce it. Is it "why not" or perhaps "E-not"? I didn't think to ask. I'm not typically one to explore new dining spots as I'm not much of a foodie. However, it was my husband's suggestion to try this fancy restaurant for a change, and I agreed.

We rarely dine at fancy places, but last week was the Eid public holiday, and we thought it would be a great opportunity for some family bonding while enjoying good food.

Ynot Garden Cafe offers a fusion of Western and Asian cuisines. The design of the restaurant is inspired by a blend of garden and cafe ambiance, complete with an indoor "riverside" (creek) setting. The exterior may not look very impressive, but stepping inside the cafe was a pleasant surprise.

The front of the cafe...

But once we stepped inside, this is the sight that greeted us. Nice!

The place was almost empty except for the staff. We arrived just before noon, which might explain the lack of patrons, but it was also a public holiday, and many city folks had gone out of town to celebrate Eid.

The cafe has a pleasant ambiance, with soft music and the gentle bubbling of water from the artificial creek helping to soothe our nerves and promote relaxation.

There was also a bar, but it was too early for a drink. There were small koi fish inside the artificial creek, but they quickly swam away when I attempted to capture some pictures.

Ynot Cafe offers a wide variety of Western and Asian cuisine, with a particular focus on Vietnamese dishes. As expected, the food was a bit pricey for our budget, but they also had plenty of affordable options to choose from.

It took us more than 10 minutes to decide from the menu because we were so indecisive! But eventually, I settled on a tasty-looking Vietnamese-style fried beef noodle. It was yummy but slightly spicy for my taste.

My husband opted for a bento box with teriyaki salmon and vegetables, while my daughter chose a seafood pizza. As for my son, he selected a Vietnamese-style dish with ham, but unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture.

The food was delicious, so needless to say, we finished eating in less than 20 minutes after the food was served 😂. However, we took our time to finish our drinks and enjoyed bonding with the kids.

And before leaving the cafe, we had a family selfie 😍.

That's it for now. If you read this far, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Kindly give me a follow if you like my content. I mostly write about making art, life musing, and our mundane yet charming family life here in Klang Valley, Malaysia.
