I don't dare to say that it is the original .. coz i don't know their history..
However this is my story of Sun Yuen Loong.....
Back in 20 years ago I used to follow my grandfather to minum kopi at Sin Yuen Loong..
Never heard about white coffee at that time ..
It is only KOPI ... My grandfather always invite me "Lim Ko Pi" (in hokkien - drink coffee)
LOL ... well I don't really fancy KOPI .. where got 6~7 years old kid start to minum KOPI..
I drink "Coca Cola" n "Kai Ka Po - 2nd mistress (Kickapoo)" n have a char kuey teow...
So whenever I go back Ipoh, I will stop by Sun Yin Loong for a nice cup of Pak Ko Pi..
It feels very Déjà vu .... hey i still remember my grandfatther's usual seats ..
My MIL also loves Pak Ko Pi very much..
I came across a shop that sells its own Pak Ko Pi .. taste is nice..
Some say that it is from the original Pak Ko Pi @ Sun Yuen Loong.....
The stall is @ Pasar Besar Ipoh.......(another authentic old building)
2 shops lots ... Yew Kong Coffee
Assorted white coffee beans......
Assorted other coffee beans ..
I got few packets of their hot selling -Ipoh Coffee Cappucino .. (I couldn't find it at KL supermarkets)
Their Business Card
So if you love Ipoh Pak Ko Pi ... there is another choice for you to choose.....
It much about personal presence .. so mesti cuba baru tahu....
tthanks for the review and info!! :D
ReplyDeletewould check it if i have chance one day =]
I've always wondered why it's called "White" coffee in Malaysia. Is it because it's always taken with milk or is there some other reason?
ReplyDeletenice story. it reminds me of me and my grandfather too, when i was in primary school and sometimes joined him on early-morning walks to his favorite coffee shops. i can't remember what i drank though. maybe coffee, but with a lot of milk, heheh :D
ReplyDeleteOkay! Next time I will buy this! :)
