Welcome to Dapoq Chef Cafe, a delightful haven nestled in the lush green landscapes of Tanah Rata, Pahang, Malaysia. This charming cafe is known for its authentic Nasi Kandar, a beloved dish that originates from Penang, infused with a local twist that makes it a must-visit for both locals and travelers alike.

As soon as you step inside, you are welcomed by the warm ambiance and the inviting aroma of spices wafting through the air. The decor is simple yet elegant, perfect for a casual dining experience where every meal feels like a special occasion. Whether you're here for a quick lunch or to savor a leisurely dinner with friends, the atmosphere invites you to sit back, relax, and indulge.

Dapoq Chef Cafe’s menu features standout options that will tantalize your taste buds. The Set Nasi Kandar items are an absolute crowd-pleaser. Consider the Nasi Kandar + Kambing Kari Masala Sayur Kobis Goreng at MYR 21.00, a mouth-watering dish that combines aromatic rice with tender lamb curry and perfectly sautéed cabbage. If you’re in the mood for something a little different, try the Nasi Kandar + Daging Hitam Mamak Sayur Kobis for MYR 19.00 or the Nasi Kandar + Sotong Chili Powder Sayur Kobis, both of which promise to deliver a spicy kick and an explosion of flavors in each bite.

To quench your thirst, indulge in their chilled beverages. The Nescafe Ais, topped with whipped cream and served icy cold for just MYR 6.00, is perfect for coffee lovers seeking a refreshing treat. You can also opt for the Milo Ais—a sweet chocolatey drink that delights kids and adults alike, or the classic Kopi O Ais, an iced coffee that provides a rich and bold flavor experience at MYR 5.00.

The heartwarming reviews from satisfied customers reflect the cafe’s dedication to quality. As one patron, Murad Mohd Shariff, noted, “Food is very good n so many Lauk Pauk similar to Nasi Kandar dish. And the price is very reasonable and cheap.” This sentiment echoes throughout the reviews, where customers rave about the delicious curry options and the friendly staff who provide impeccable service. Norhayati Nasaruddin exclaimed that every dish she tried—be it kari daging or ikan nyok nyok—was absolutely delectable.

Another proud customer, Muhammad Zafran Azizan, claims it's “the best nasi kandar in Cameron,” demonstrating that passionate enthusiasts will treasure their culinary experience at Dapoq Chef Cafe. It’s clear that if you’re a Nasi Kandar aficionado, this cafe is not to be missed.

So, whether you are a local or visiting the scenic Cameron Highlands, Dapoq Chef Cafe promises an unforgettable journey of flavors, friendly service, and cozy dining. Don’t wait—come and experience the finest Nasi Kandar that Tanah Rata has to offer!

The best nasi kandar in Cameron as far as i know. Not much to say here. Come, pick your choices and enjoy it. Although they also have others like chicken rice but im here for nasi kandar only. I gave 5 stars not for the premise etc but only for nasi kandar. Actually who cares about other things when the best is right there infront of you ready for you to dig in.
