The ambience is pleasant, especially with the corner-lot layout making good use of the side walkway for outdoor seating. Despite arriving at noon on a hot sunny day, the experience was still bearable—thanks to overhead fans and lowered awnings that kept the sun away. However, the outdoor metal chairs weren’t the most comfortable—sitting for long could get uncomfortable due to the design.

Drinks:
The dirty coffee wasn’t bad — the espresso had a nice aroma. However, the glass wasn’t chilled, which affected the overall experience. If they used thawed, thickened milk (a technique some specialty cafes use), it could really elevate the drink.

Food:
•	Cheese toasties were nicely crisped and fragrant. The crust edges were slightly tough, but the fresh salad and tangy, tomato-based “salsa” (more of a sweet tomato chutney) made the plate wholesome.
•	Spinach pasta was creamy and flavourful. The standout was the fried mushrooms on top—very aromatic and satisfying.
•	Double bacon smashed burger was excellent. The patty was juicy and soft, with good flavour. However, having the sauce on the side weakened the overall punch—next time, get it fully dressed.
•	Açaí bowl (Super Bowl) was decent but nothing exceptional.

Overall:
A satisfying experience with well-executed dishes and a thoughtful café setting. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but quite aligned with current café standards — around $130+ for 4 pax. Worth it for the ambience and quality.

really enjoyed my meal! i ordered the duck gnocchi and it was probably one of the best pasta dishes ive had. the gnocchi wasn’t starchy and was so chewy, and the duck meat was so soft and tender. there are also bits of asparagus in there and they were so good and crunchy, especially with the gravy, i couldn’t have enough of it! the mac and cheese was also very good, had amazing cheese pull, perfectly salted and great for sharing. of course, we can’t miss out on truffle fries, super crispy and the amount of it was definitely value for money. looking forward to visiting again !

The atmosphere at Seng house was very pleasant. Order the seafood prawn noodle with oyster sauce and the texture was smooth. Portion was generous as well. The duck was really juicy and well-cooked. Definitely will come back again

Been here many times but keep forgetting to share a review.

You would not expect it but the CKT and the chicken rice here are both very good!

Don’t forget to try the puff pastry mushroom soup too!

If you have time, come here for weekday lunches as it is much easier to get a spot. Otherwise, do call in for weekend brunches!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! The Wat Dan Hor Fun was a highlight - silky, smooth noodles wok-fried to perfection with a delicate balance of savory flavors. The Carrot Cake was a delightful surprise, with a crispy exterior giving way to a fluffy, flavorful interior. Both dishes were expertly prepared and presented. A great dining experience!
