Atas Cafe Kota Bharu — Restaurant in Kelantan

We noticed this cafe for quite a while and today was the day we decided to try it.

We ordered 3 items from the menu which were the quesadilla, the chicken chop and the big breakfast. Of all three, I liked the quesadilla best. No complaint except for the hefty price. It was well seasoned and moist. You could taste the filling from every bite. It was filled with chicken and shrimp in tomato sauce, if I'm not mistaken.

The big breakfast was quite tasty too except for the baked beans which was a bit too salty to my taste. The scrambled egg was fluffy and the sausage came in jumbo size. I also liked the grilled cherry tomato and button mushroom.

The chicken chop was alright. I personally felt it was a bit oily. But the taste was quite good. It also came with a sunny side egg. Overall, the food tasted quite good especially for the quesadilla.

Nonethless, I had to say, I was quite disappointed when we were handed the menu as it was quite limited especially for family with small children. And the reviews were not joking; it did cost us an arm and a leg.

Another thing, I came with my little family but the staff was not sensitive enough to bring a baby chair that I had to take it myself from the 'store'. That was after I sat down, looked through the menu and finished ordering at the counter. So, it was that long.

Overall, was it good? Yes. Was it worth repeating? I don't think so; unless you receive extra bonus that you are willing too splurge on food, sure. The cost of two main dishes, a snack, a desert and 3 drinks was...

This restaurant, like its names imply, occupies the first floor and has a cool minimalist concept.

Shrimp Croquette got my double thumbs up. Savoury deep-fried breaded with bechamel sauce and served with chives mayo. Kaarage Chicken was lightly coated. Rich in flavour and has a crackly, crisp texture. But the rice quite dry. Quesadilla made of crispy sandwich tortilla with chajun shrimp and cheese.

Dacquoise has indeed fascinated me. Must try since most cafes do not serve this French dessert. Layers of baked merinque and filled with chocolate cream.

For beverages, the chocolate cookie latte has a decent mix of coffee and chocolate. The peach passion mocktail, on the other hand, was a little too sweet for my taste.

It is costly in terms of price. And yet, in the aspect of taste, I think it is...

Overall the environment is nice, but the service is very poor. I request to change from 2 pax/table to 4 seated table at the corner as it was too noisy, the staff then informed me that 4 seated table only available for 4 person. Then ask me to change to outdoor seat. Outdoor environment was okay except for the background music is too loud which I have to shout when talking to my friend, and the staff won’t even bother to assist me to get my chair when I request for stool. Very very poor service I’ve ever had, it’s understandable if the cafe is busy, but they can’t even handle it well when there’s only few customers. Very disappointing service and...
