KLUANG RailCoffee

Yes I was in Kluang recently. Just as I was about to reach the hotel, I remembered my dear friend Julian who stays there. He will always give me a buzz when he's down in KL, so I thought it's a rare chance for me to go down to Kluang so why not text him. So I sent him a text and we decided to meet up for coffee. Kluang has the best coffee ya know? Remember the famous Kluang Station that everyone goes to in 1U and Ikano? Well, I told him I wanted the best coffee in town and there's 2 options- either the old joint or the new joint. I chose the old joint at the Kluang Railway Station. I would want to try something from its original shop. So there happily we went to the railway station. The coffee shop is really in a railway station. No kidding.

Cool Huh?

Let's talk bout the food. The menu is displayed on the window side so there's no need for them to distribute any individually. Food is cheap like 60cents a pack of nasi lemak. But beware, the cheap price comes in really small packets. I can assure you I can finish the whole packet in 3 spoonfuls. We ordered a cup of "kopi" each, one set of Roti Bakar, Roti Bun & Roti Steam. Ok the verdict - The coffee is okay, much better than those in Uncle Lim's. They have roti steam which is steamed bread, quite special. The bun & roti really disappoints me despite the appetizing look. The roti is not hot enough, wait, it's not even hot. The butter was not soft and the kaya is dripping. I have never had roti bakar with kaya dripping all over. Julian was telling me that maybe I took some time to take the pictures and the bread went cold. Hello...I only took less than 1 minute to take all these pictures! So it must be the bread that's not hot and not be being slow.

Kopi

Roti bakar

Roti Steam

Roti Bun

See what i mean? The butter is not even soft enough. I could die of over dosage of butter.

I actually scolded Julian for taking me here. I come all the way and you take me to eat dripping kaya bread?!! Nah, I was just kidding. Despite the not-so-good roti, I had a good experience there. When the train arrives, loads of people actually came into the shop and line up to buy the nasi lemak. There was this lady who walked to our table and asked if she could take the nasi lemak on our table so we permitted. She opened every packet and check the content and the best thing is, she even smelt the pack before closing it. Eew...lucky she bought that because I ain't gonna eat that pack after she smelled it. Who knows what-goes-in-to-the-food?!! Met some of Julian's friends as well. They were all nice and cool and very music inclined. We went talking from food to politics and to who knows what, everything under the sun we talked about. Haha.

I wonder what is there for the Mat Sallehs to see here?

Julian trying not to let the kaya drip!

It has been an eventful outing and nice to meet up with my old friends. This is quite a nice place to hang out but I wouldn't come here for the food again despite how many hanging publicity the place had and how many VIPs have had their kopi here. It's just not my thing.

I know the road is long. So What? That's why I'm not taking the train dude. I go by air. Muahah
