I’m unashamedly a coffee addict. Actually, there’s nothing to be ashamed about it at all. I enjoy my coffee, so when I was in Ipoh I took the opportunity to indulge in the famous Ipoh White Coffee.
Eh? “I thought you said WHITE coffee?!” I can hear you think.
That was my first reaction too. Why isn’t the coffee white? Well, white coffee actually refers not to the colour of the coffee when made, but to the fact that the beans aren’t roasted with sugar, so the coffee beans are less dark. This is in contrast to the traditional “black coffee” that you get at coffeeshops which are dark roasted coffee beans.
I found that the flavour isn’t as intense as the black coffee I’m used to. I come from a small town called Muar, which is as famed for its coffee as it is for its otak-otak. I take my coffee very thick, with just a smidgen of condensed milk for a touch of sweetness.
By contrast, white coffee is a bit mild for me.
This is the store that make Ipoh White Coffee famous by having franchises all over the country. However, I spoke to a few locals while I was having something to eat at a different coffeeshop, and they directed me to the coffeeshop opposite this famous shop.
This shop the locals claim, has better coffee as it has not compromised on quality and is therefore more “authentic”. The shop across the road on the other hand isn’t as good as it used to be because of its expansion.
I’ve had Ipoh White Coffee in many locations and I think I prefer my black coffee any day.
