Hidden Comfort in a Bowl: My Budget Bite in Desaru

#tesaruonbudget Desaru is known for beaches, but tucked away in one of the quieter streets, I found a cozy café that served one of the best pumpkin soups I’ve had in a long time. It came with a slice of crusty sourdough, and the flavor was creamy, slightly sweet, and full of spice. For a moment, I forgot I was on a budget trip—it felt like a warm hug in a bowl. The space had calming vibes, soft music, and warm lighting. Everything from the quirky art to the retro-style furnishings made it feel like a place you’d return to, just to breathe. And yes, all that for less than RM20! Highly recommended for solo travellers needing a slow break from the touristy crowd.
