If you are looking for a café serving local cuisines, western food, or other international types of halal cuisines, perhaps you can try out this Cookies & Ginger located at Adda Heights in Johor Bahru. You would definitely love every bite of their food.

In conjunction with my ongoing #JomtaraletsSupportLocal campaign stories, allow me to share with you our food discoveries to this place.

THE AMBIANCE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

The restaurant is cozy, clean, and easy to locate. It is within the shop lots along Adda Heights. Parking area would not be an issue except during peak hours (12-3 pm). They have very good customer service and their team is very helpful to customers. 

The staff can speak English and Bahasa Melayu so don’t worry- language would not be an issue for you.

THE FOOD

We ordered Cheesy Chipotle (pronounce as Ci-Pot-Lay), Flamed Chicken Chop, Spaghetti Aglio Olio grilled chicken, Beef Burger, and Smoked Chicken. All dishes were served hot and with good food presentations. I actually love it.

Every bite of their food was really sensational especially for their chipotle.  The set comes with shredded smoked chicken with cheddar, hickory mayonnaise, lettuce, and onion wrapped in a flour tortilla. This arrangement was phenomenal to me. It’s very clean and appetizing. Other side dishes included are their steakhouse-cut potatoes and coleslaw.

The way it was served was fantastic. The food presentation was really appetizing. It's very good.

If you are a noodle lover, you would want to try their spaghetti Aglio olio. Their serving to this was very generous which really compliments its price. It is worth it. 

I think one serve can fit up to 2-3 pax depends on how greedy that person is (hahaha). But I tell you, their serving was quite a lot for one person. For tastewise, I think it was good. It's really creamy on my palate. The way they prepared their food was really remarkable. 

Their Smoked Chicken was well grilled. It is really amazing to mix with their tasty fried rice. I love the combination. Actually, this set is supposed to be served with their chipotle barbeque sauce, steakhouse-cut potatoes, and coleslaw but I suggested changing it to rice since I want it to have a powerful lunch at that point in time.

And they are flexible with this kind of arrangement.

Their beef burger was also phenomenal. It comes with ground beef patty with nachos cheese, caramelized onions, honey mustard and they're own homemade pickles mixed together in that burger. 

This serving comes with their coleslaw and steakhouse-cut potatoes to make it a more powerful meal for either lunch or dinner.

Being one of their loyal customers, they let us try their Nachos which are amazingly crunchy and really nice as an appetizer for the entire family. 

This set was served with tomato pineapple salsa that really blends well in your mouth while munching on their freshly fried corn chips. It's really nice.

You can also try their buffalo wings as part of your starter. This one is tasty. I love every bite of it.
