• Keijometo •

Hello! Here is my take on the super popular JB cafe - Keijometo !!

Keijometo seems to be western-Japanese fusion cafe, as seen from their really popular dish - Truffle Carbonara Udon. If you know me, I love myself a good carbonara udon and this does not disappoint!! I put it as 4.5 ⭐️ as the truffle is not really super strong but it’s there. I’ve heard that some people find it jelat but I’ve eaten it and gone back for it again and I still don’t find it jelat (it’s kinda goopy tho in a good way HAHA) 😌 for a second opinion, my bf loves it too and demolished it.

I’ve also been there with my friends and one of them absolutely loved the Salmon Mentaiko Donburi. I forgot what my friends said for their Cold Inaniwa Udon but generally we all loved keijometo and thought it was definitely worth a visit!! 🙂‍↕️

As for drinks, the matcha is a should-get. My bf liked the strawberry matcha and my friends liked their drinks too. I was a bit adventurous and tried the Apple Matcha Iced Tea - not too big of a fan but worth a try! Since its in RM, might as well 😇

Speaking about prices, I would say this is cheaper than cafes in SG but a bit more expensive than other cafes. Overall, I would rate Keijometo a 8/10 🍵 and will definitely go again! (My bf rates it 7/10 hehe)

P.S. go early @ 11am so that there is no queue!! (Applicable especially on weekends) it’s 10 mins away from customs and my Grab was RM 6 😍

2024/11/27 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're planning a visit to Keijometo, here are a few tips from my experience that might help. First, the cafe opens at 11am sharp, and to beat the crowd—especially on weekends—arrive right at opening time to avoid long queues. It's only about a 10-minute Grab ride from the JB customs, costing roughly RM6, making it quite accessible if you're coming from Singapore or nearby areas. Although the truffle aroma in their Carbonara Udon isn't very strong, it has a pleasant subtlety that fans of milder truffle flavors will appreciate. Some reviewers find the dish a bit goopy or jelat, but I personally loved it and even went back for seconds. The portion sizes are quite reasonable for solo diners, and the rustic, cozy vibe makes it perfect for casual meals or catching up with friends. Apart from the signature udon, the Salmon Mentaiko Donburi is a crowd favorite and paired beautifully with cold drinks like the Strawberry Matcha or the classic Hot Matcha Latte. If you are a bit adventurous, give the Apple Matcha Iced Tea a shot – it's unique, though not my personal favorite. Prices here sit between typical cafes in Malaysia and Singapore— slightly more affordable than SG’s but a bit pricier than local cafes. Overall, an 8/10 for me, worth revisiting. If you're curious about halal options, the cafe's fusion style leans towards Japanese-Western, so double-check with the staff on specific dishes if dietary restrictions are a concern. Lastly, don’t forget to snap some photos early on since the lighting is best before the cafe gets busy. Hope this helps you enjoy your Keijometo experience as much as I did!
