Pak Teh Kopitiam, Jenjarom

13 Lorong 1, Kampung Sungai Jarom, 42600 Jenjarom, Selangor. It’s about 35 minutes from my house in section 25, Shah Alam. 

We headed there on 19 September 2020 at about 8.00am. We took a slow scenic drive. Traffic was scares. It was a popular route amongst cyclist. All along the ride we had to keep an eye out for cyclist. 

Anyone intending to upgrade their knowledge prior to purchasing a bicycle should make a trip here, I’m sure the friendly cyclist are just waiting to impart their knowledge and wisdom.  

It is a good destination for cycling enthusiasts but be careful of lorries as there are plantations of sugar cane and palm oil along the way

Be extra vigilant 200m before your reach your destination, although guided by waze. The turning to the kopitiam is easy to miss or overshoot. A general guide is, when you pass Tesco on the right (on the opposite side of the road), the kopitiam is 100m on the left

The kopitiam use to be a old traditional Chinese single story bungalow lot house and converted into a cafe, bistro or kopitiam. Call it what you like. Halal and upon entry you get a vibe of a traditional eatery but with a modern take

Although we were there by 8.35am, the place was already packed with patrons and cyclist. Getting a place to sit was not an issue as there were always people entering and leaving upon finishing their meals. But with such ambiance, it is a good place to unwind, have good food and chill with the laid back surroundings

MCO so we wore face mask 

Rustic wood worn with age

Cool wash basin. One could easily mistaken it as a fire hydrant due to the similar red color

Now comes to the part you have been eagerly waiting for. Soft boiled eggs served the traditional way. Lift the bowl to find the eggs in hot water. The teh tarik was extra creamy as informed by my wife 

Pandan kaya and butter toast, for my son. Flattened like a pancake. My son gobbled it down mercilessly    

Meal for my wife. Toast bread with butter and sugar. This was what our forefathers ate back in the day

Sprinkles of sugar. Meal or desert? I’m not quite sure

For my wife also. Another version of toast with butter and kaya but in a bun

English breakfast for my daughter. Her complaint was that the scramble eggs was dry and not creamy like how I make it for her at home

I was a little under the weather so I ordered something souped based, unfortunately I did I not remember the name. I do however remember the taste and that’s what matters. The broth was so simple yet delicious. Clear and packed with flavor from the soup leaves, onions, carrot, bitter ground and other spices. The mee was so hoon. But the best was the fish balls. I’ll should you in the picture below

Can you believe that this is their fish ball? Look at the size. Practically filled up the whole soup spoon. 3 fish ball in each bowl. One of the best fish balls I had ever had. Hardly any starch or flour. I only felt large chunks of deliciously soft flaky fish. Never had such fish balls anywhere else

My son ordered the traditional coffee. You can tell from the color

Open 7 days a week from 7am to 4pm 

There’s a small map at the entrance of places to go when you are in Jenjarom 

The neighbors house just besides the kopitiam. This is how it might have looked like before converted into a kopitiam

Our friend on this wonderful outing. Sorry unable to post the cost as it was paid by my wife’s friend, Sally. Picture front right. She came all the way from KL and went through 5 tolls to get here. A real trooper. Thank you Sally for the eye opener by introducing us to this place
