Friend…

Kawan in Malay means friend…

…and when my friend, Philip, in the US was home earlier this year, he kept telling me how nice the coffee at this place in Rejang Park here was…

…and indeed, it was really great.

An ex-student of mine was home from Kuching and he shared a photograph of the kampua noodles that he was having here…

…and he said it was good. I mentioned that I heard the coffee was good and he said that his father was drinking that and loving it.

Prior to this, I loved the noodles at this coffee shop directly opposite but I can’t remember much about the coffee at that one. I would say that the ones that I had here was good, though not exactly the same and the pian sip…

…soup wasn’t too bad either. I could detect a hint of either Foochow red wine or vinegar and I quite liked that – I wouldn’t have enjoyed it if it had been stronger though as I would not want anything to drown out the original taste of the clear soup.

So, if you’re looking for really good coffee, this is one place that you can check out…and while you’re there, you can have the kampua noodles and the pian sip too – I’m sure you’d enjoy them as well.
