Cafila Cafe — Restaurant in Terengganu

Let's start with the positive things about this cafe. It looked clean, tidy, and organised. The seatings were adequate and not too close to other tables. The staff were friendly and quick to respond.

Now food. The presentation, the colours of the food were fantastic. They looked super delicious. But when it's the taste part, it's actually not. The masak lemak cili api on its own was okay. It was creamy and not spicy at all. But when it was cooked with udang galah in it, the kuah tasted weird. The udang galah were soggy and squishy. They were most definitely not fresh.

And we also asked for specific food to be spicy or crispy. Unfortunately, the food was not prepared according to our request.

The tom yam was sweet. The fried chicken was okay, but the fried talapia was soggy. The somtam itself didn't have any crunch to it. It was soggy. We were looking for salted fish taste from the kailan ikan masin, but we didn't find any. The ikan masin taste was too mild. And the cendawan goreng lacked flavours.

The only 3 items that we love from the things that we ordered were the Iced Yam 3L, the daging harimau menangis, and the complimentary budu. The yam drink was good and satisfying. The daging harimau menangis was flavourful and tender but a bit gamey for my liking. The budu was superb.

I don't think my friends and I will return to this establishment...

Suka hati tukarkan menu mahal. Ordered nasi kerabu @ rm6 and barli suam @ rm1.5. The cashier tried to charge me rm9 for a different nasi (she assumed i didnt know the price) but failed. Then she charged me rm2.5 for the barli suam because she said ordinary barley was out of stock so they served special barley (without my knowledge). They should've informed me about it during order. The prices were clearly written on the menu. Ended up having to pay extra rm1 because people were lining up and we were in a rush for a movie. She just laughed and said sorry for the special barley. Me not speaking Tganu slang is not an excuse for...

Good malay-thai food restaurant in a suburb of kerteh. My favourite is their tomyam which thick n more 'gulai' like. It's so 'kaw' u almost cannot sip the gravy by itself. Best eaten with rice.

To top that off they have a range of ice blended drinks. And they blend it really well its like snow.

The restaurant ambience wise is typical malay-thai - so hanging out for long is not as fun unless u r occupied...
