Lim Kopitiam Along Hugh Low

Along Hugh Low Street Street, there is a new coffee shop opened quite recently... it is called Lim Kopitiam, located just opposite the Kinta Valley Tours.

I remember keeping the receipt for the actual address.. but now I cannot find it.. how to become an established food blogger?? sigh...

Anyway, just look at the photos... for now..

the front entrance.. looks very authentic one..

just like those olden days coffeeshop

the red mug reminds me of my younger days..
remember using it to brush my teeth..
during my time, have to squat and brushed teeth one..

the counter...

there is a secret garden inside the shop...
and now the food...

I ordered this dry curry prawn special...

it cost RM5.50 ($1.75usd)

roasted pork curry... RM3.70 ($1.20usd)

barbecued pork curry RM3.70 ($1.20usd)

pork skin with long beans curry RM3.00 ($1.00usd)

chicken soup with prawns.. (forgotten the price!)

steamed wholemeal dumplings too
to eat them with curry as well... if you like!

as for me, I always go for dessert...
sweet potato with sago - RM1.50 ($0.50 usd)

If I earn in US dollars, everything seems so cheap here, right???
hahahaha....

    Does the shop serve only one type of noodle? I saw only 'lai fun' in all the noodle dishes.

    And this is a coffee shop? It looks like a full service restaurant, do all your coffee shops sell so many hot meals? Ours just sell coffee drinks and some pastries and sandwiches. Starbucks is the biggest and has the most shops.

    One thing for sure, i would love or prefer this place than Old Town Cafe, this Lim Kopitiam menu are like original and style of its own, unlike Old Town so boring and so predictable,,,,

    in fact i went to Old Town only three times, i said to myself i was not going there anymore unless someone pays the bill,,,,,,,,,another place that i would not go the next time unless someone pays my bill si Kim Gary, same kind of foods, lousy service,

    Note : The above is my own personal experience wit Old Town and Kim Gary and it is in no way to influence your taste bug or choice for food ,ya
