Kafe Eat & Repeat Review: $0.60 Nasi Lemak, Mee Rebus, And Soto In Johor Bahru

This eatery is the seventh branch in Malaysia, showing how both the boat noodle concept and food served are so well-received here. We spread the net wide and ate everything on the menu, so we could whittle down the very best dishes to order when you’re here. Food at Kafe Eat & Repeat What I love about this place is the boat-noodle dining concept, which transcends past the history of boat merchants in Bangkok’s canals.

There might not be any rocking boats here or Thai food even, but each dish is portioned and served in little bowls at only RM1.90/~S$0.63 a pop! If you’re always suffering from food envy, Kafe Eat & Repeat allows you to try everything on the menu.

The classic varieties are Lontong , Mee Rebus , Nasi Lemak , and Soto , the lattermost being the most popular dish at the table. This is mostly attributed to the little ball of begedil found amongst cubes of rice cake. The mee rebus and nasi lemak were pretty average and didn’t give us anything to shout about.

Another item on the menu you must order is the Mee Bandung . That said, the word ‘Bandung’ in this case is a term used to describe a mix of components.

The one at Kafe Eat & Repeat is made with egg noodles, fishballs, and a delicious peanut broth. The melange of sweet and spicy flavours from the sticky, caramelised glaze wraps itself around the chicken, carrots, and long beans. Blasted with hot oil, the skin of the chicken is so crispy, it might hurt the roof of your mouth.

Taking a bite, you will be surprised by the fragrance of the marinade, which carried hints of garlic and turmeric. The pulut mangga was missing the punch of summer sweetness as the mango slice was sour, and the sagu gula melaka was just flooded with diluted coconut milk. Ambience at Kafe Eat & Repeat Kafe Eat & Repeat is a 15-minute drive or RM12/~S$3.98 Grab ride from the customs.

It is hard to miss the eatery with its bright red and black walls, extending from the storefront to the back of the store. Just like the no-frills, simple dishes served here, the ambience is only good for having fabulous food in a jiffy, so do not expect anything more than basic IKEA table and chairs.

The verdict Kafe Eat & Repeat is a great place to bring friends who are first-timers in JB. Expose yourselves to a huge part of the Malay cuisine here in one shot, without having to over order since each portion is small.
