Good Friends Cafe is one of the many establishments that makes up the lively food hub of SS15. It is just a 10-minute walk away from LRT SS15, adjacent to the SS15 car park complex. The cafe has an old school design with wooden flooring and furniture, very cosy. They also provide free plain water, magazines and UNO card games.Their menu is quite standard for a cafe with options for sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, brunch etc. However, the price point is quite high for me. The best dish that I've tried is their Bacon Lover Waffles (RM24.90). Three quarters of waffles with a sunny-side up egg and bacon strips. The flavour combo of the savoury sides and the sweet waffles is spectacular. Another dish I would recommend is their 2pc scone set (RM7.90), served with a side of fresh coconut cream and homemade fruit jam. While their scones are so-so, the real star of the dish is their toppings. Their whipped cream is airy and light while the jam is super fragrant and not too sweet.Other dishes that I've tried are their Homemade Chicken Lasagne (RM19) and their Chicken Bolognese Spaghetti (RM16). Portion and presentation for both dishes are quite impressive. However, for the lasagne I personally feel that the pasta to sauce ratio is abit off, with too little pasta. They are very generous with the cheese and sauce though. As for the spaghetti, the pasta is not homemade and has a waxy texture to it. Sauces used in both dishes are the same and are super flavourful and well-seasoned. The Smoked Salmon Sandwich (RM23.90) is very disappointing. It is just a thin layer of smoked salmon and lettuce sandwiched between a panini, served with a side of salad. The whole sandwich is pretty bland and the only thing that has flavour is some sesame mayo that is very mild. Given the price, portion is very small.For dessert I had their Ultimate French Toast with Ice Cream (RM22). Two large pieces of french toast topped with honey, caramelized bananas, slivered almonds, strawberries and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, all resting on a pool of 'mysterious yellow syrup'. The plating is quite stunning and the portion is impressive. As for the taste, it is not too sweet and all the components go well together. The yellow syrup tastes citrusy so I suspect it's either an orange or lemon coulis. The servers are very friendly and accommodating. Overall it's a solid cafe and I would definitely recommend it. They also have promotions through Eatigo so I would highly recommend to check them out through the app.

Read some good reviews and have decided to give it a try. Ordered the fried chicken waffle, grilled chicken noodle and salmon duo spaghetti. Taste fine but nothing too special, not sure about the desserts though. Still, the staffs are friendly here, good atmosphere.
