Think beautiful wood-panelled walls, lots of lovely green plants, pots of baby breath, candles.\u00a0 One thing that immediately propels this world class cafe heads and shoulders above its Johor Bahru competition is the beautiful art on its walls.\u00a0 There is also a balcony with sofa seating for customers who wish to enjoy a semi-alfresco dining experience.\u00a0 The aircon works and cool cafe beats are piped through the speakers. The kitchen is helmed by talented young executive Chef Ryan who received extensive training around Japan. He brings his training to please demanding Japanese palettes to create a relatively short menu of Japanese,\u00a0Western and Fusion cuisine. Being a specialty coffee house,\u00a0 Grumpy Goat Cafe has an extensive coffee menu expertly prepared by energetic young baristas professionally dressed in uniforms. Fruit Tea Infusion Ice cold,\u00a0 refreshing\u00a0 and pleasing to the eye.\u00a0 There is a copious amount of strawberries. Mocha Ice Blended (RM$18) Much better than Coffee Bxxn. For those are craving an alcoholic fix but unable to because they need to drive,\u00a0 they can take solace in the very creative Martini Shakerato (RM$21 &#8212; available only cold).\u00a0 Non-alcoholic,\u00a0 hand-shaken and served in a martini glass,\u00a0 this is perhaps the classiest coffee I have ever seen. Vienna Coffee (RM$28) Authentic Vienna Coffee served in the loveliest china I have ever seen in Johor Bahru.\u00a0 I thought I was having afternoon tea in The Peninsula in Hong Kong. Mapo Tofu Teishoku (RM$28) Prawns, Tofu, House Special Spicy Mapo Sauce, Japanese Rice, Soup. Pickled Vegetables This is a simple dish.\u00a0 I am not usually impressed with local Chinese food but I feel like I can eat this for breakfast,\u00a0 lunch and dinner.\u00a0 The spiciness and the slight hint of umami in the mapo sauce went well together.\u00a0 The tofu added lightness and interesting soft texture.\u00a0 The miso soup is of course salty with just a slight hint of umami.\u00a0 The pickles are sour with a hint of sweetness.\u00a0 So basically all the flavours are all this plate.\u00a0 This little plate takes you on a complete taste journey.\u00a0 What a clever plate. Signature Chicken Chop (RM$30) Chicken, Mashed Potato, Selected Vegetables, Cream Sauce, Black Pepper Sauce, Parmesan Cheese White Tuna Steak (RM$35) Japanese White Tuna, Mashed Potato, Cream Sauce, Pineapple Salsa, Mushroom Sauce, Selected Vegetables The proteins are fresh.\u00a0 Since the chicken and fish are both lean,\u00a0 the cream sauce was a welcomed balance. \u00a0Chef Ryan didn&#8217;t neglect the details&#8212;- the mashed potato was creamy.\u00a0 The tangy pineapple salsa on the tuna gave the main a refreshing lift into a whole other level.\u00a0 Both the Chicken Chop and the Tuna Steak were well-conceived and well executed. Torched Carbonara (RM$24) Fettucine, Japanese Sesame Sauce, Mixed Mushrooms Creamy, oh-so-satisfying and with arresting colours, what&#8217;s not to like? &nbsp; Grumpy Goat Cafe 6C, C, 02, Jalan Suria 7, Bandar Seri Alam Masai, Johor, Malaysia Tel: +6017-891 1366"}
