KL Cafe has an older sibling restaurant in Elsternwick called Kotaraya and the two restaurants have similar foods on their menus. Both restaurants also share same owners.
The interior is more contemporary than its sibling restaurant thus enticing more younger patrons in the areas.
It has a nice ambience which adds a nice subtle-ness to the place. They also have a blackhole in the ceiling!
It also won a few awards in the few years since its opening in 1999 so I hope I wan't be dissapointed by the foods.
I ordered the Ipoh Hor Fun, yes I know I like Hor Fun too much but I think they don't take presentations too seriously coz it looks hideous! But to be fair, I must admit it tasted quite good so I'll give it 1 thumb up.
Terese ordered the Gado-gado and well..you judge for yourself if you like the look of it! Again we were quite surprise when we had a taste of it which was quite good! Another 1 thumb up.
Overall KL Cafe is ok to go for a quick meal if you were in the area but I wouldn't go there too often coz the prices are a bit much for what you get!

jeremy: ur right, the food was quite nice despite the presentation but i'm fuzzy about things like that..just me.
it sure looks terrible....but that Ipoh Hor Fun looks like Wat Tan Hor..
Glad it tasted good.
