Chanced upon the newly renovated Warm Up Cafe and decided to settle my dinner here.
This was my second visit, so they have removed low table settings and standardized their tables to the usual table height, moved the stage to a more prominent space, and updated their menu too.
Food wise was good for what I'd ordered - Krapow pork with rice that was not overly spicy which you might get at some Thai restaurants.
Love the vibe and the friendly service, and the live band was good too.

I am satisfied by the taste of the dishes, but they could really increase portion sizes. The Fried Chicken Tendons cost $13+ and had max 13 small pieces on a full bed of cabbage. Definitely expected more meat for this price. The boat noodles could also do with more noodles, which is probably the cheapest ingredient.

Decent Thai Spot, But Mookata Missed the Mark Tried their two-pax mookata set ($58++), but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The meat wasn’t well-marinated, which made the whole experience quite underwhelming for the price. We also ordered a bucket of 5 small bottled beers for $45++ — not exactly value for money, and surprisingly, no Chang beer on the menu. Ambience-wise, the Thai music was a nice touch — soft and soothing. However, speakers seem to be placed mainly for the outdoor area. We were seated outdoors near the window but could barely hear it. Highlight of the meal: the spicy fried wantons. Crispy skin with a generous filling of meat and bean sprouts — 8 pieces of pure satisfaction. I’d come back just for that! Place was packed on a Saturday evening, so definitely make a reservation ahead of time. 2025 Oct Moo ping not nice, taste like bwa kua.
Green curry okay. Taste nice with white rice.
Both pineapple fried rice and Phad Thai skip. Garlic fried pork is hard and dry. Promo of ordering $88 before gst, $1 on the fish item is a steal. Fish is fresh. Taste ok. Still the wanton skin is the best item here.

A big surprise from Warm Up Cafe! Not only the food, service and atmosphere are great, but also the staff always put on smiling face. In addition, the background music is pleasing to my ears. Highly recommended 👍🥰

Food is decent, though prices are a bit on the high side, with roast pork near $20. Service was friendly and okay. Tom yum has a quite fishy taste and beloved I think could be improved.
