White House Coffee Shop

Yes... finally, I manage to sit in the famed shop. It is so famous that it even appeared in the NST travel column. It even appeared in the TV3's majalah 3. Was it Jalan2 cari makan? it just appeared in the TV.

Why is it famous? I am not sure. Probably it has been there for so long that everybody has recognised it as a household name. Just like White town coffee house and Kluang station coffee.

The place opens twice daily, in the morning and at night for supper. At night it begins at 9pm. It closes on Fridays.

I personally like the setting of the shop. It has this antique feeling attached to it. The china and the marble tables looks old, typical of the olden days kopi tiam, that our forefathers are used to. Such as that the Chinese coolies smoking pipes after a hard days work, or the man pulling the trishaw waiting for customers. The 40s o the 60s kind of Malaysian era, if you catch what I mean.

Great place to hang out. An option to the overpriced kopi bin, stabaks of even seekret resepi. A must place to go to if in KB. The toast was great! The half boiled egg turns out the texture that I wanted. The service was fast. Better, than Khayaki, Mun Cafe or De Klassik cafe in Kubang kerian. I even tried h Nasi Dagang, glutinous rice with chicken curry wrapped in a waxed brown paper. I loved it.

Here are some pics.
