    a very interesting cafe, i must say. it reminds me of a restaurant in town called "frames" because like this one, they put up lots of framed pictures on the wall. ;)

    food for tots: It was more than 10 years ago when I had dinner at Cafe Batavia, I remember the chicken kong pao was delicious :)

    Last month, I visited again but only for a drink, the Batavia juice which tasted refreshing.
