We may not have Coffeebean or Starbucks but that doesn't mean that the coffee culture isn't thriving in the backcountry of Kelantan and maybe other remote parts of the East Coast as in the bigger more metropolitan cities in teh country.
The tastebuds and what defines cool coffee culture maybe completely different from that the svelte coffee drinker of Bangsar or KL is used too. You definitely will not find coffee Luwak here, even if there is it probably wouldn't fly like at the other swankier coffee digs.
What may not be so obvious in the beginning gets pretty clear once you carefully read the prints on the promotional posters pasted all over the stalls, restaurant and coffee stops in the not so hip hang-outs though swarmed for reasons less than chic.
The target market seemed largely if not all seemed slanted towards men (not sure whether it is for obvious or not so obvious reasons) ... "Siang minum saje ... Malam jadi Raja ... Isteri pun bahagia"!
Some immediate eye-catchers :
Kopi Kucing Galak ...
Kopi Jantan ...
Black Stud Cappucino ...
Kopi Kerbau Jantan ....
There are apprarently serious pre-requisites for some of these blend; hipness, coolness, swankiness is not one of them. If it's got caffiene, it's got to be coffee, just I would not be the first to try.
Anyone for a cuppa, my place or your's?
