Hey Everyone,
Welcome to Malaysia Kluang åą
éŪ!
About the Town of Kluang åą éŪ
Located in the Same State of Johor as Johor Bahru itself, Kluang is about a 1 Hour ETS Train Ride from JB Sentral. As soon as I arrived, I can almost immediately feel the Slower and More Comfortable Relaxing Pace of Life. Its a Beautiful, Well Maintained City from my First Impressions and a Relatively Walkable City on Foot. Not Difficult to call Grab too.
Perhaps its a Weekday, I thought the Whole City has a Simple Quiet Vibe to it as I observed the Daily Lives of the People here going about their day. Really Quiet and Sleepy Place especially on a Weekday and with some Nice Looking Cloud-Kissed Hills in the Background, Kluang is quite a Beautiful Picturesque Town indeed.
Alright without further ado, here are some Highlights of Today's Trip.
Kluang Rail Coffee
Google Map Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/U4pZPTzxzsKVXMsX6Located just 200m from the KTMB Kluang Train Station, this is of course the Most Famous Eatery that Most People will visit when coming to Kluang. Established since 1938, this is a 88 years old Place and is officially recorded as Malaysia's Oldest Railway Coffee Shop.
What it really means is that this is basically an Old Kopitiam Eatery located right within a Railway Station. The Station itself is no longer in use but is open free of charge for visitors even if you don't want to buy anything from the Eatery. But why would you not visit this Eatery because once I tasted my 1st Taste of Authentic Kluang Coffee from Kluang, I immediately understood WHY it is so famous.
Kluang Coffee itself is Well-Brewed certainly and initially doesn't taste much different from any other Nanyang-Styled Kopitiam Type of Coffee....that is until the Coffee Strength SUDDENLY hits you in Waves. I don't know how to describe it better, but every sip you take of this Coffee will trigger a Wave of Caffeine High that keeps rolling in. This is a Strong Coffee yet also doesn't smack you hard. I'm no Coffee Connoisseur, and this is my First Time tasting Kluang Coffee but this is as best as I could describe it. This Waves of Caffeine that I felt is indeed Unique.
Coffee aside, also don't miss out the Unique Laksa Johor here made using Spaghetti Noodles and is perhaps one of the Best Rendition of this Dish that I've had so far. The Version here is Very Non-Jelak that really hits the right spot for me. Enjoying some Good Kluang Coffee right here in a Historically Significant 88 years old Railway Kopitiam is indeed an Excellent 1st Impression of Kluang for me.
THIS is literally the Coffee Factory that manufactures the Famous Kluang Coffee itself. Established in 1966, this place really is a Factory not unlike a Similar Type of Place you'd find in Jurong for example. What is special about this is that it has a Dedicated Comfortable Air-Conditioned Cafe and Gift Shop within for you to purchase the Coffee straight from the Source.
One thing I don't understand though is if Kluang Rail Coffee had been around since 1938 and THIS Factory only started in 1966, who was the original manufacturer of Kluang Coffee during the years 1938 to 1966? Or did Kluang Coffee only became Famous after 1966 with the Establishment of this Factory? Honestly I'm not sure about the History for this one.
Anyway moving on, hahaha of course I tried EVEN MORE COFFEE! Hahaha come to Kluang don't drink Many Many Coffee then what for come to Kluang right? Ordered both Kopi-O-Kosong and Kopi Ice version. Interestingly, although this is the Same Kopi-O that I had earlier in Kluang Rail Coffee, for some reason, I thought the Taste of Coffee Bean here is More Gao and Robust? Not sure why but the Coffee here just taste Richer.
The Kopi-Ice version was also very interesting. For one thing I'm really glad that they are able to make a No-Sugar version of this. Served Deconstructed Style using Kopi-O-Kosong Ice Cubes so the Drink will never dillute, The Unique "Caffeine Wave" of Kluang Coffee is still present and while the Roasted Beans Flavour is reduced due to Milk, I thought this Milk version tasted Smoother. Both Kopi-O and Kopi versions of Kluang Coffee are really good. Its just a matter of whether you want a stronger Roasted Coffee Beans Flavour or not.
Alright with that aside, here are a Couple of More Places I visited and a Sneak Peak of the Other Dishes I ate! ð
