Hey, Faithfuls! I frequent Paya Lebar often to meet friends, and every time, I walk past Ne Ne Neko, a Japanese-themed cafe that transforms into an izakaya bar at night. Located in PLQ Plaza, just outside PLQ Mall, it’s hard to miss this spot. I finally decided to drop by and see if the food lived up to its inviting exterior.Ne Ne Neko occupies a newly erected, box-like structure reminiscent of shipping containers, split into two sections. There’s an air-conditioned space with bar counter seating and small tables, while the larger alfresco dining area offers a naturally ventilated setup with regular dining tables.Though the cafe isn’t air-conditioned, the open-air design keeps it surprisingly cool, even on a sweltering afternoon.
