Your visit to Terengganu, especially Chukai town in the Kemaman district will not be complete if you don’t drop by at the famous Hai Peng Kopitiam (coffeeshop). It’s like visiting Kuching and not having Kolo Mee or Mee Tomato.
The kopitiam is a hot spot among the locals. I was told that the place is always crowded from the moment it open business for the day until they close in the evening.
The kopitiam is patronised by customers from all walks of life and races. Not surprising as there are neither Star Bucks nor Coffee Beans joints in this fast growing small town of Chukai where people can have a drink and gossip.
The kopitiam is a family owned business that was started by a father and passed on to his daughter.
Seen here the towkay (staring at the camera in white pagoda t-shirt is enjoying his breakfast). He must be wondering why was I taking pictures at every corner of his coffeeshop.
Hai Peng Kopitiam served local foods like nasi dagang, nasi lemak, keropok besides their signature banana toast and special brewed coffee. There’s also localised modern dishes such as Italian Pasta with Asian Touch and Hai Peng Mamak with Spaghetti.
And make sure before you leave Chukai town, you bring home some Hai Peng coffee packs.
Not bad for a small town coffeeshop, Hai Peng is online on the net at www.kopi.com.my. For more pictures of Hai Peng, browse my Flickr.
Geng, ujung minngu tok aku pergi Gambang. alang alang alu singgah kat Haipeng tok kelak
Ok geng. Aku pg 30 ari bulan tok.
Hai Peng is a pride of Kemaman.My late grandpa was a friend of taukey.When we were little, he used to bring home Hai Pang Kaya & bread.The shop has been there for 3 generations.It brings back fond memories of growing up when going there.I guess that’s why even local Kemaman people still flock there.
p/s: as told by my dad,Hai Peng Kemaman do not have any branch.It is the only one in Malaysia.*totally agree with Shane!*
I don’t agree with Sam-Pat’s comment. You know why the nasi dagang finish so fast? it is because it is delicious… People who goes there and might get the nasi dagang it is because they go early.. Not like you that only know how to complain when yourself reaching there late.. Hai Peng Kopitiam is a very clever shop. He doesn’t want to open another Hai Peng it is because the shop is borned there and the nice coffee is starting from there. If he opens many branches in Malaysia, Hai Peng would not longer be special.. Just like Old Town, nothing special for me..can you tell me what is so special about the Old Town, can you compare? Tell me can you get Nasi Dagang in Old Town? I know you’re a person who lives in big city, but don’t forget, those who living in a small town is more healthy than you…even the thinking is more better than you(city person)..
