About Mampir Lagi

The name Mampir Lagi, Indonesian for "drop by again," comes from a remark made by an eleven year old girl about customers returning for her mother's cooking. That mother, Henny Lumintang, grew up in Lombok and runs the kitchen at this casual cafe in Taman Pelangi, Johor Bahru, which she opened with her husband, Jason Antoney, a chef trained in French cuisine. The pairing shows in a menu that sits Indonesian home cooking alongside a cake counter more associated with a Western-style cafe than a warung.

The savoury side draws on everyday Indonesian dishes rather than regional specialities. Nasi Uduk, coconut milk rice typically eaten at breakfast, appears alongside Ayam Penyet, smashed fried chicken served with sambal, Gado-Gado, a vegetable and tofu salad in peanut sauce, Sayur Asam, a tamarind-soured vegetable soup, and Ikan Goreng, simply fried fish. On Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm, the cafe has offered set dinners for groups of four, priced across three tiers and built around shared platters rather than individual plates. The cake case runs to Western staples such as red velvet, chocolate fudge and carrot cake, a detail that marks the cafe as a neighbourhood hangout as much as a dedicated Indonesian restaurant.

The business states that it sources halal ingredients and serves no alcohol, and the original coverage of the cafe notes it does not add a service charge, does not accept credit cards, and is set up to be accessible for diners with disabilities, including child-friendly high chairs. The address, at 40 Jalan Pingai in Taman Pelangi, facing the side of a Giant Hypermarket, is confirmed by more than one independent local source, though the specific hours and prices on record date to press coverage from several years ago and have not been independently reconfirmed, so this listing leaves operating hours blank rather than risk stating something stale; anyone visiting should check ahead. Taman Pelangi itself is one of Johor Bahru's older residential and commercial neighbourhoods, and the area has become something of a hub for small Indonesian eateries over the years, with several other Indonesian and Javanese restaurants operating within a short distance of Mampir Lagi.
