Restoran Ahwa, Kuala Lumpur

 

Now if you get taken to a coffee shop in KL, you might be in for a surprise.

And when you get there, your thoughts might drift to asking why has the caffeine and the dude or dudette with the intricate tattoo sleeve, nerdcore thick rimmed glasses, nose ring at the shiny La Marzocco been replaced with a setting of plastic outdoor chairs and chefs at the woks in tiny portable carts? 

So there ain’t too much coffee going around, but if you’re a fatty like me, what they serve up more than compensates.

Hokkien Mee – deliciously rich and sticky with a sweetness and charred savoury from the oyster sauce

Kuay Teow – complete with crunch pork lard

Satay

Chicken Wings

Don’t expect to lose weight passing through the long blacks here.  This is KL’s “coffee shop”.

3.5 / 5 yums!
