The story behind this place

From Next Door to Khi Ke Tshù

Puttanesca Pasta with Diced Beef MetroBites visit photo

Puttanesca Pasta with Diced Beef

Spice, savor, and heat are all distinct, while diced beef adds meaty aroma and chew. Pair it with something refreshing.

Beef and Cheese Panini MetroBites visit photo

Beef and Cheese Panini

Crisp grilled bread holds beef and cheese. With fries it is quite filling, and eating it hot best preserves the crunch.

Fried Chicken on a Sizzling Skillet MetroBites visit photo

Fried Chicken on a Sizzling Skillet

Sweet-savory sauce coats the fried chicken as the crust turns from crisp to soft. Share it and eat while the skillet is hot.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
One Staple with Two Supporting Roles

Two diners can choose pasta or panini first, then add fried chicken and a smoothie so the whole table does not repeat one heavy savory flavor.

✨ AI Quick Take

起家厝Khi Ke Tshù CAFÉ (Khi Ke Tshu Cafe) on Songjiang Street in Banqiao is a hybrid restaurant spanning brunch, pasta, panini, fried food, and smoothies. Its broad menu does not send everything down the same path: puttanesca pasta brings spice and heat, panini works as a lighter meal, fried chicken supplies the group energy, and a smoothie ends like dessert. Order thoughtfully and the meal changes gears; fill the table randomly with heavy flavors and Uncle can only watch your stomach surrender.

Dining Room and Atmosphere:American industrial style mixes with elements of Western restaurants in a relaxed room suited to friends, dates, or a slow brunch. Popular meal times and holidays may fill, while reservation hours can change. If seating matters or the group is large, check the restaurant's latest reservation page before leaving.

Location and Dining Notes:The address is 新北市板橋區松江街118號 in the Jiangzicui area, about a 10-minute walk from Jiangzicui (江子翠站). With a broad menu and substantial mains, two to four diners can choose one pasta or panini first, then add fried chicken and a smoothie to keep the whole table from turning heavy.
● Puttanesca Pasta with Diced Beef

Puttanesca Pasta with Diced Beef makes spice, savor, and heat very clear. Noodles carry the sauce, while diced beef provides chew and meatiness. It is no mild safe choice; flavor announces itself from the first bite. Diners unfamiliar with heat can ask about the spice level, and a refreshing companion dish keeps the plate enjoyable through the end.

● Beef and Cheese Panini

Beef and Cheese Panini has a crisp grilled exterior and a savory filling led by beef and cheese, with stretchy cheese while hot. A sandwich may look like a light meal, but fries make it genuinely filling, so it works as the table's second shared staple. Crunch fades as it sits; once there are enough photos, start eating.

● Fried Chicken on a Sizzling Skillet

Fried Chicken on a Sizzling Skillet arrives with a strong aroma from the hot pan. Its sauce is sweet-savory, and the crust softens as it absorbs the sauce, recalling Korean fried chicken. If the meat runs slightly dry, eating it with sauce makes the bite more complete. It is made for sharing and should be finished hot, before conversation leaves only the skillet's shape and sends the texture away.

● Freedom in Love

Strawberry and banana make a direct, sweet, thick fruit combination closer to a dessert smoothie. It closes after spicy pasta and savory fried chicken, though its own sweetness is noticeable. Share it among several people or save it for slow sips later. The name is romantic; the calories are quite practical.
