Nicely furnished, air-conditioned and touched up with a nostalgic feel type of modern kopitiams have been mushrooming in JB city lately! Probably it’s time to pay a visit to try out the kopi and kaya toasts at these outlets. I just visited one in Jalan Permas Jaya 10, called ‘The taste of life’.
Look at the interiors, if it doesn’t reminds you that you’re back in time to the 70s or 80s, at least you will feel that you are at some old villages.
Now, the food….. there’s really a lot of food you can order here but of course, quantity doesn’t meant quality. Anyway, since it’s morning, I ordered a morning breakfast set for myself while my wife had nasi lemak(coconut milk rice). The nasi lemak is great! Wrapped up in banana leaf and after heated up in the microwave, you can smell the aromatic fragrant of the rice and sambal (gravy). The banana leaf also adds up some nice aroma to it.
The kopi is good but not the best I’ve ever tried while the kaya toast looks normal but delicious, thanks to the kaya!
And here’s the American breakfast that I had. It looks like any typical western food but at least, it provides me the energy to start my saturday !!
I will post more kopitiams@JB stuffs!!

hey, kopitiams are almost the same everywhere but i think the original ipoh ones are better..haha.. take for instance the bread.. the one in old town serves wholemeal brown bread, the thickness and the thiness of the bread is very nice and crispy..try it out next time..
