God knows that if only the place is centrally located, I've probably frequent the place more often. But alas, it is located quite far away from the main Tawau town, more specifically, right beside the Tawau Airport. If you are interested, you just drive (around 30 minutes from town, north along the Jalan Apas road) to the airport and if you spy yourself a place nearby that resembles a house more than a cafe from the outside, then you have arrived! Trust your instinct guys, cause it is a house (upper floor) & a cafe (ground floor) under one roof.
Guessing by the name, I can verify that yes... it is a Javanese establishment. I have frequent the place throughout the years and I've seen it evolved from a humble, shabby looking shop to a more clean cut, comfortable eatery. But one thing's for sure, the quality of their food is still consistent. Their specialties are Payau based dishes (aka the Sabahan version of deer); most important of them all are their Nasi Goreng Payau (which are marvelous by the way, as seen below), Nasi Kuning (which are usually a morning staple) and Sup Payau (which they're out of when we were recently there). But don't fret if you're not really a fan of beef, as the usual cafe type menus are also available, as well as an assorted side dishes for you to choose from. It is also good to note that the place is a better choice for food in the airport area, since the food sold at the airport itself are not really up to par and sometimes the charges are pretty darn expensive.
