Jasmine Tea & Kopitiam

for those who know me well, i'm a tea lover. means, i prefer to drink tea instead of coffee. to justify that, i drink almost all kind of tea. jasmine tea, green tea, black tea, earl grey, ice lemon tea, teh o ais limau, peach tea, teh kekwa (crysenthimume - fuck it, i can't spell it anyway) and lots of others tea.

reason for me to drink tea because at home, mom always bancuh tea instead of coffee. the first time i really drink coffee was when i'm in form 3. before that, i will avoid coffee like crazy.

talking about tea, i found a place where perhaps the best jasmine tea being served. it's in Bangi Kopitiam. The name might deceive you about the location while the real location of that store actually in Wangsa Maju. Just opposite JJ Wangsa Maju, uphill opposite new mosque (yurp, in the shoplot area). It's good to taste good cold tea with jasmine smell to it. Syuk don't like it but i'm so in love with the tea.

Also hanging out with Munir, Kaped and Anon at Old Town Kopitiam in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng (KLCC station for LRT and you need to walk around 5-10 minutes to reach there) which located just in front of Phileo Megan Avenue II. Nice interior design, nice food, affordable price and awesome companions. I order Hazelnut White Coffee which was ok for me (though i'm not too keen in coffee), some curry rice and roti bakar. Really nice treat. The roti bakar really ass kick!

Anyway, Kopitiam (given it Old Town or Bangi) provide a nice place for you to hanging out with friends (and loved one) while enjoying long conversation. For coffee junkies, Kopitiam is an affordable place for you instead of going to San Francisco, Starbuck or Coffee Bean just to replenish your caffiene level. A cup of hazelnut coffee just cost me around RM 3.00+ and i'm quite take a liking to the caffiene beverage.

Jalan-jalan cari makan continue next episode....

dils: it's so good to be served. i think that's the main thing about consumerism. people love to be served cause in their life, most of the time, they served others.

and eventhough we could make it at home, it won't taste the same. the feeling is just different, agree?

hahaha. i just need some time with my gay friend. hahaha. kari dia mmg sedap.

adek: man, am also broke reaching to the end of this month. excessive expenditure on foods and related items. now, i need to control myself. uhuk.

next time, i will invite you lor. save up around RM 15 so you would able to enjoy it. hehehe. i have lots more place for jalan2 carik makan which put a hole in my wallet. hoho.

am also broke. food is so tempting, i can't resist. uhuk.

wuuu.. i love tea, but i love coffee even more, ahaks :P

I dunno about places that serve tea around kl, but i've been to cameron. "Boh tea farm".

There's a cafe inside the farm, but u have to explore deep inside the farm first (i think its about 10km) before you can reach the cafe.

Really enjoyable and the tea was great! Worth being there once in a while.

The tea were fresh from the farm itself, served to the customer. U can give it a try, but surely u must have much more budget than RM15 like enjoying it at "bangi kopitiam".
