On my recent trip back to my hometown, Ipoh, my family and I finally visited the famous Chang Jiang White Coffee outlet that is located at 7, Jalan Windsor, 30250 Ipoh, Perak. This outlet is their first and it is situated in a charming old house that exudes an old school vibe. There were rooms that look like the bedrooms in this outlet and it is not surprising since it used to be someone’s house.
After ordering on the order chit, customers have to proceed to the counter to make payment. There is one section next to the cashier that is filled with their house brand’s coffee in a packets (3-in-1 and 2-in-1) and also their lemon tea.
I had their kopi c kosong (means coffee with milk and no sugar) while hubs and brother-in-law had the ice coffee. Their coffee is thick and aromatic. The ice coffee were served in mugs and there were two tall glasses/jars filled with ice.
You have to pour the coffee into the glass jars yourself and drink from there.
So fun right?
They also ordered the Kaya Butter Toast but I forgot to snap a pic. The Hainanese bread were filled with sticks of premium salted butter and a nice slather of fragrant kaya on toasted Hainanese bread.
I had this braised tofu, chicken leg and hard boiled eggs. It was quite yummy.
Their specialty is the dark soy sauce noodles topped with minced chicken and fried shallots, a traditional dish has been around for 100 years. We didn’t order that as everyone was already full from lunch earlier.
Chang Jiang White Coffee is a nice place to indulge in traditional coffee, tea and kaya butter toast. This place has a long queue so it is best to go early.
