"For our marketing assignment, we had the chance to interview the owner of Western Kempas. The owner was super friendly and even treated us to a free meal, which we really appreciated. He shared how his goal is to serve tasty, affordable western food that students and locals can enjoy without breaking the bank. We tried their bestsellers like the chicken chop nasi goreng that were freshly cooked, full of flavor, and came with generous portions. The place has a simple, chill vibe, and from what we saw, their good food, great servi ce."
