More Coffee Please

Once the sucess of Old Town Franchise, there were many high class coffee shops had popped out everywhere across the country. There's this Old Taste, Kluang Station, Uncle John and many more! Coffee had became a fad. It's a trend now and it's a lifestyle.

Was strolling around in a near empty Batu Pahat Mall. There wasn't much to offer. Seems like the economy is really bad in this area and there were many empty slots up for rent. We came to a cafe which the name was quite foreign to us.


The Dagan Rengit Coffee house. I'm not very sure weather the Dagan is the brand name and Rengit Coffee is the company name or vice versa. Never really asked in detail. The waiter who serves us also can't tell us much.


According to the waiter, it is an indonesian brand. The coffee beans are basically imported from Indonesia, brewed here and serves here. ^.^" The difference between the coffee there and the coffee there? Nobody can tells. I guess coffee just taste the same way like coffee always do! ^.^


We sat outside the interior part to watch the flowing traffic outsides. (Actually is because my cousin wanna smoke). Things were slow in BP. The day were cloudy. Nothing special in there.


It seems like the coffee house doesn't have much customer either. You can see all the tables and chairs neatly arranged, untouched. Come to think about it, the settings are actually not bad. Chairs are made from those rattans, coloured with dark brown green. The tables are also in dark green made of solid wood.


Serving time was okay. Not too fast nor slow either. Their packaging were similar to those Starbucks, Coffee Bean type kind of serving. All prepacked in a plastic cup nicely with a cap on.


The taste? White coffee taste lor! It's not black coffee so obviously it taste milky coffee. ^.^ I still prefer Nesspresso and Cappucino!

Have you been to Kluang Rail Coffee?

Everytime I passed by Tesco Melaka, I'll always see numberous people sitting in the Kluang Station Coffee drinking coffee and eating laksa. Then I would wonder, coffee and laksa are just so common in Malaysia. Why are people paying such a premium price for such a simple food in Malaysia?!


Travelling down south, I sure have to passby this place. If not I couldn't say I've been to Kluang! Yes! It's the Kluang Rail Coffee! The one that you and I saw it in Tesco Melaka? That's a copy cat shop. The original Kluang Coffee comes from here!


The place is simply simple! With two shop lots located just in the railway station of Kluang. That's why it's called Kluang Rail(way) Coffee. Above is the kitchen where they make your coffee, tea, milo or whatsoever drinks that you ordered.


Here's the counter and food storage. They prepare your bread and mee siam or nasi lemak here. Simple isn't it? But look closely! They are using an LCD cashing machine to keep track of collections! High tech right in such a lowly shop. ^.^;;

The menu are pretty simple too! They offer all the usual coffee shop drinks: coffee, coffee-O, Tea, Teah-O, Milo, Milo-O.... The foods are basically, white toast bread with kaya and margarine, white toast bread with kaya and butter, brown toast bread with kaya and margarine, brown toast bread with kaya and butter. Period. That's all.


This is your teh-sii(milk tea with alot of milk) and this is your white coffee. Nothing grand and it cost you RM1.50. Cheap right? Compare to the one you drink in Tesco Melaka, definately!


And this is the settings. Nothing grand either. The place are tightly squeezed. Everybody have to be tolerance, give and take.


The other side. Tables are limited but plastic chairs are abundance. The main customers there are mostly Malays. Civil servants especially who stop by for a drink at around 3 something before going back to work.


Here's the brown bread with kaya and margarine. Two slices of brown bread cut into havles before served. The taste? Not bad actually! It's quite crispy and the kaya made it sweet~


And here's the white bread. Yeah, it doesn't seems white right? Well it's more like a bun bread actually. Inside is white that is. ^.^ Toasted crunchy before being swiped with juicy sweet kaya and tender-oily margarine. Yum yum~


Alright, I know some will say, "Wah! This will make me fat man! It's gonna add more colesterol to your blood vein!" >.<" Geez! Who cares, it's good food righ?! ^.^ Yummy! Itadakimasu! :P
