New food culture

It's a new dawn for the eating scene in Malaysia. Kopitiam
theme eateries and Hong Kong char chan teng (teahouses)
are taking Klang Valley by storm. Business is so good that
these outlets look set to flourish outside Kuala Lumpur.

All time favourites – local coffees and roti bakar with
butter-kaya – are so popular that customers are raving
about them.

There's even one that captures the heyday of Ipoh kopitiam
of the 50s and 60s by offering hor fun, white coffee and
Wu Yee herbal tea.

Hong Kong culture has also crept into Malaysia especially
with the popularity of Hong Kong movies over the years.
Some teahouses offer a set meal of unbelievably low rate
of RM4.50. The main reason attributed to the popularity
of Hong kong char chan teng has much to do with the vast
variety of food at affordable prices.

Fast service is also reason enough that draws the crowd
in today's fast-paced lifestyle. Having the outlets open from
10am to 10pm adds to the pull.
