Kefi Farm Cafe — Our 2-Day Farm-Resort Food Love Affair in Kluang

We spent two blissful days at Talula Hill Farm Resort in Kluang and ate lunch and dinner at Kefi Farm Cafe, so many times our forks started to unionize. Seriously — the view, the vibe, and the food made this a proper mini-escape from the city grind. If you’re hunting for a farm-to-table spot with Instagram-friendly rolling hills, honest comfort food, and surprisingly clever drinks — Kefi should be on your radar.

Below we tell you everything: what we ate, what you should order, practical tips, and why we can’t recommend this place enough.

Why Talula Hill + Kefi Farm cafe felt different


Our stay in two sentences (because we know you skim)

We stayed two nights at Talula Hill, ate at Kefi for both lunch and dinner, and left with full bellies, better moods, and a camera roll full of hillside shots. The food felt fresh, service was friendly, and the view deserves a slow clap. (We may have clapped. Twice – (Kefi Farm Cafe)


The Kefi Farm Cafe experience — food, drinks and atmosphere

Kefi serves a mix of Western and Asian-contemporary dishes inspired by produce from the resort’s garden. Expect hearty plates — from pan-seared salmon to local rice sets and comfort bowls — plus sensible share plates for grazing while you stare at the view. The kitchen leans on seasonal ingredients, which helps each dish taste clean and honest rather than over-styled. We loved that the menu balances crowd-pleasers with interesting twists — think familiar flavors presented with a farm-fresh nudge. (Kefi Farm Cafe)

What made our meals extra enjoyable:

  • Deck seating — an outdoor bar-style ledge overlooking the hills. Perfect for slow lunches with iced coffees (or an afternoon beer).
  • Relaxed pace — this is not a fast-food vibe; the place encourages lingering.
  • Menu variety — choices for both comfort-food lovers and those who want something fresher/greener. (Kefi Farm Cafe)

Dishes we fell for (order these)

We sampled a range of plates across lunch and dinner. Highlights that keep echoing in our taste memory:

  • Pan-seared salmon with creamy tarragon sauce — rich, flaky, and balanced; portion felt generous. (SmartLocal reported similar favorites on the menu.)
  • Donburi Unagi — comforting, substantial, and a great choice if you want more umami.
  • Farm Corn Fritters — crisp on the outside, soft inside; a perfect snack to share with a coffee. (Came recommended by other guests and local write-ups.)
  • Local-style rice set (Ayam Penyet) — if you want something homely and satisfying at a mid-range price.
  • Grilled Beef Patty Burger – “A juicy grilled beef patty stacked in a soft toasted bun, layered with fresh farm greens, melted cheese, and house sauce, served with a side of crispy golden fries — hearty, smoky, and satisfying.”
  • Drinks: their fresh-juice blends and iced coffees are refreshing after a farm walk. Also — yes, they serve beer, and that cold bottle on the deck is a small piece of heaven after hiking or sunbathing. (Kefi Farm Cafe)

The little things that matter

  • Ambience: Low-key, family-friendly, and very “take your time.” Great for families, couples, and solo travelers who want to read or write while gazing at hills.
  • Seating: Indoor seating plus outdoor deck (approx capacities listed on the cafe page). If you want the best view spot, try for an outdoor table.
  • Service & booking: Kefi accepts reservations — worth calling ahead on weekends or public holidays. Contact info and opening hours are on the official site.

Practical info & tips (so your trip is smooth)

  • Address & access: Talula Hill is in Kluang, Johor. It’s marketed as roughly a 1.5-hour easy drive from Singapore, which makes it a feasible weekend escape. talulahill.com+1
  • Kefi hours: Open daily (hours differ slightly on weekdays vs weekends), and the cafe lists indoor/outdoor capacities — call or WhatsApp to reserve a deck seat. Phone and email are on the website. talulahill.com
  • Bring: Sun protection for the deck in midday sun, light jacket for evenings, and a camera for hill shots. Comfortable shoes if you plan a short hike or farm walk.
  • Best time to visit: Late afternoon to evening gives you golden-hour views; brunch/lunch is also lovely but can be warmer midday.
  • Accessibility / note: Talula is a private farm-resort open to guests and cafe customers; check visitor info if you’re planning non-stay activities.

Final verdict (aka: would we come back?)

Yes, in a heartbeat. Kefi at Talula Hill is a delightful combo of farm-to-table sincerity, scenic chill, and solid food. If you want a short nature reset without sacrificing good coffee and interesting plates — this is the spot. We left feeling refreshed, well-fed, and plotting our next short escape. Highly recommended. (Kefi Farm Cafe)
