Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang – Gem of a Cafe decorated for Halloween
Wimbly Lu. Sounds like a character from a Roald Dahl book, but it’s actually a combination of the owners’ names. Yet another gem of a place, recently discovered, all because of my favourite 2 dollar local magazine, 8 Days. It’s … Continue reading
