Went for breakfast. Love the ambience and cafe’s concept especially the high windows for maximum ventilation. Staff were great. Ordered Nasi Lemak Sambal Kerang which was okay. Kue Tiaow Goreng was good, could taste the smokiness of the dish.

The fried chicken was delicious (MYR7), the nasi lemak was pretty good, but the chili and anchovies were not that great, which needs to be improved. The crowd was okay, there were enough tables, and the waiting time for food was about 15 minutes. * Please look at the last picture carefully. Hope the merchant can make some progress. Thank you.

This is my second visit to Ki cafe. This time around, I ordered nasi lemak with telur mata, banana smoothie and kampung fried rice. The rice was fluffy, creamy and flavorful with shredded ginger. Its anchovies sambal was not spicy and suitable for children but not to my liking. I prefer hot and spicy sambal. The nasi lemak was complete with it’s condiment together with half hard-boiled egg. Banana smoothie can be improved; the banana taste was there but not rich enough for a smoothie. Kampung fried rice was awesome; complete with kangkung, anchovies, fish crackers, sambal at the side. The staff were polite with pleasant attitude. Only that the price is on the high-side. You may come here to enjoy everything else except its coffee - tried during my first visit and it was not up to my expectation and there are more coffee shops in Kerteh that can offer similar taste with a fraction of the price. Regardless of the price, it provides cozy and comfortable experience. I will return for the kampung fried rice and trying other dishes. Please visit this cafe whenever you are in Kerteh area.
