If you are the type that enjoys eating food in a  neat and well-decorated area, then I guess you might be considering to dine in at Ume Flora & Café. This cafe is located along the stretch of Nong Chik Riverside Commercial center in the town area (JB Area).

This place is both a flower shop and café mixed together. It's basically a good place to hold special events and all types of walk-in customers. You may also try to just dine in and have a cup of coffee just to catch up with your friend. The place is really beautiful.

In conjunction with my #JomtaraletsSupportLocal campaign stories, let me take this opportunity to share with you my dining experience at this halal café.

THE AMBIANCE

The café itself was well decorated with lots and lots of flowers. The interior design was superb.  The details on how the wooden tables were arranged, the lightings used, the vase, and the spacing was well planned. The interior design showcases a modern concept of a cafe plus a flower shop which really syncs in as a good match. 

It is a really nice place to hang out. One will really enjoy dining with family and friends. You will be amazed at how the decors were displayed. 

The only issue that one can be facing here is the parking space which may be limited during the daytime (rush hour time/ lunchtime). But during night time, the whole parking space behind the building can be all yours.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

We went there during non-peak hours. That was Sunday so it was quite a relaxed time. They have staff available to assist you. The staff  (it's a guy) was quite responsive.

The food came in according to the expected time of preparation. Of course, while waiting for the food to come, we took the opportunity to have photos inside their shop. I would say it’s really homey.

THE FOOD

We ordered their Oriental Fried Rice with chicken on top, Coffee, Grilled Chicken Chop, and some side dish like fries for the kids.

Their food presentation was superb. It was well presented.  Their Oriental Fried rice was not oily and not salty. It was really tasty. I think the portion of the set was reasonable according to its rate. The chicken on top was soft and a bit of a crispy texture. It is not full of flour. My tastebuds are enjoying it while mixing with their fried rice.

The Grilled Chicken chop was good too. I love how the chicken was marinated before it was grilled. You can taste the smoky flavor of the chicken. I think it was well marinated which contributed an amazing taste and aroma to the entire set. 

Every bite of that grilled chicken was remarkable. You will love it. 

The presentation of the cappuccino was fantastic. The design on top of that set was outstanding (which I didn't expect to be as such). The smell was quite strong. I am not a coffee lover, but looking at how they served the coffee to us—whoa it’s really beautiful.  

I guess this place is a good recommendation to fellas out there who are really looking for a place to just relax and enjoy their food. It was indeed a great dining experience for us.
