The Rag Land

The days of zillion dollar fit-outs are over - no one wants to walk into a new cafe feeling tense for the owners, already in debt for the interior design alone. So Rag Land hits just the right note with its handed-down furniture, hands-on food, and hand-on-heart attitude. David Jiew works the Human Cannonball blend by The Golden Cobra into a dark, caramelly piccolo latte ($3), so grab an ironing-board table (you heard right) and stay for spicy smashed eggs and avocado on toast, or a minty lemonade from the urn. There's even a cheap sneaky Sunday special of nasi lemak until sold out.
