Teras Belakang Cafe

Teras Belakang, meaning 'back terrace', is a café in a converted house with a garden frontage on Jalan Kapten Saridin, in the Paal Satu district north of the town centre. It is part of a small local hospitality group and is popular with Tanjung Pandan residents for hanging out, birthday gatherings and informal work meetings.

The menu mixes Indonesian rice and noodle dishes with snacks, juices, coffee and other refreshing drinks. Reviewers praise the variety, the friendly service and the homely atmosphere, describing it as feeling like visiting a friend's house. Outdoor tables on the terrace are pleasant in the evening, while the indoor room offers shade during the day.

It opens daily from 11:00 to 23:00, except on Fridays when it opens at 13:30 after midday prayers. It is a useful option for a late lunch or an unhurried dinner away from the tourist restaurants, and is easy to reach by car or Grab from the hotels in town.
