The Nelang Cafe — Restaurant in Terengganu

The café is clean and quite comfortable to sit and lepak. Service time also quite fast, and the staff were okay .. they answered my questions properly.

Ayam Penyet (Signature) Honestly, this one not really penyet. The chicken came as crispy fried chicken, not smashed at all. The chicken was okay la, well-cooked, but a bit dry for crispy chicken. Portion of tauhu was very little, and they even put long beans .. which is quite unusual for nasi penyet. But I really liked the soup. It’s not the usual plain bland soup; this one had strong chicken flavour with sweet spices, very unique. For me, the only mistake is the chicken… it felt more like nasi ayam crispy than ayam penyet.

Nasi Ayam Buttermilk (Signature) Chicken cooked well, batter thick. But the taste was too heavy on the butter. No hint of curry or sweet flavour like some buttermilk chicken I’ve tried before. It was just salty and buttery all the way. Portion size was big though, so can be filling.

Tiramisu This one not so impressive. The biscuit layer was mushy and a bit dry at the same time … macam over-soaked but not in a nice way. Coffee taste also hilang, almost not there. Cream was heavy and lacked the slight tang you usually get in tiramisu. Presentation was okay since it came in a cup, but flavour wise, can improve a...

This is probably the longest review I've ever written!

My family and I visited Terengganu for the first time and asked someone nearby for restaurant or cafe recommendations. Out of the options, we decided to try Nelang Cafe as it was very close to our homestay. When we arrived, the cafe was quite crowded, and there wasn't enough space for our group (there were 12 of us). Just as we were about to leave for another cafe, a staff member (or possibly the owner) approached us and kindly found us a place to sit. Their customer service was excellent!

Once we settled, we ordered our food. Half of our group were vegetarians, and we were pleasantly surprised that they cooked vegetarian dishes upon request, which we truly appreciated. As for the rest of us, we ordered one of their family sets, and it was absolutely delicious. We're Indian, and we wanted to switch the "daging pad krapao" in the set to chicken instead, and they were more than happy to accommodate our request.

The price was reasonable—not too cheap, but not too expensive either. The restaurant setting was lovely, and we especially liked the spot where we sat. Overall, the food was great, the ambience was nice, and the service was...

A Culinary Adventure at The Nelang Cafe

I recently savored the delights of The Nelang Cafe, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. The cozy ambiance, swift service, and standout dishes, particularly the Lamb Chop & Oglio Olio Seafood, left an indelible mark on my visit. Not to be overlooked is the RM4.90 Crispy Fried Chicken, which surpasses Colonel Sanders's KFC in size, taste, juiciness, and tenderness.

The fried chicken was a revelation—crispy on the outside, revealing a juicy and tender interior with every delectable bite.

In addition, I indulged in their specialty coffee paired with a delightful pastry. The exceptional flavors and appealing presentation added to the overall charm. The friendly and attentive staff heightened the welcoming atmosphere, and the cafe's unique decor showcased a meticulously curated space.

With reasonable prices and a pleasant vibe, The Nelang Cafe in Gong Badak is a must-visit for those seeking a charming spot to relish good coffee and...
