AROMATIC HAILAM COFFEE - WAH KOR COFFEE CORNER

I love good coffee and I found one at WAH KOR Coffee Corner that besides the smooth aromatic coffee that perks you up for the day, they also entice coffee lovers with their unique coffee blend that comes in three layers as well. Visibly you can see a black layer of chin chau and white layer of milk and another layer of brewed coffee and the extra flavour of gula melaka to kick in a storm in your palette. You just need to stir it to mix well. Oh boy! the taste is darn shiok.

You will find Wah Kor Coffee at Kenanga Food Court which is on the 7th Floor of Kenanga Wholesale City. It's a one stop venue to find some famous and iconic KL food as well besides the good aromatic ground and brewed coffee to enjoy.

As the T-Shirt says, UNCLE WAH Coffee Corner has been around since 1951; I was not even born yet !

and the coffee has been brewing for more than 60years and that's a long time to get the sleek smooth taste so right.

I was told the flagship stall or store started in Klang but I know I can have my coffee fix at Kenanga Food Court. Each sip tells you that it is good coffee; the aroma, the flavour, the texture and sweetness are in equilibrium and I enjoyed the coffee more than the food there.

You have signature dishes at czechar stall but at WAH KOR you can find signature beverages too.

They have introduced at least 29 variety of drinks and the signature ones are:

Hainam Tea, Special Tea, Three Layer Hainam, Three Layer Coffee and Three Layer Tea & Three Layer Cham (whatever that is?)

It was kicking good to try the Three Layer Coffee and Tea but I just had Kopi-C Siew Tai and it was just as enjoyable, so smooth and so nice.

Of course, my personal best coffee that tops the rest comes from Ipoh White Coffee at Cafe Wah Nam opposite Foh San Restaurant in Ipoh which makes such robust good coffee that when I was holding a packet of the iced coffee, a Chinese lady who do not drink coffee made an attempt to try it after hearing great reviews from me. She was ecstatic to find that coffee is such a refreshingly darn flavourful and aromatic drink. But she didnt realise she was having the best coffee and a standard way above others.

At Kenanga Food Court, there is a host of iconic famous KL food that has history that dates back to as far as 1927 and you can enjoy a confluence of such tasty dishes under one roof here at Kenanga Wholesale City.

HISTORY SINCE 1927
KIM LIAN KEE KL HOKKIEN MEE CANNOT BE FOUND ELSEWHERE IN MALAYSIA; It is unique to KL and the original stall can still be found at Petaling Street.

HISTORY SINCE 1939
OVER 70years of GRUEL CHUK or PORRIDGE that feeds the flock of diners at Hang Lekir off Petaling Street is the famous HON KEE PORRIDGE. Vivian Wong is the grand-daughter running the business started by her late grandfather, Wong Yue Wah who has passed the helm to the late Wong Hon Fei, Vivian's father and the congee business just grew by leaps and bounds. Congee is a simple staple of daily food in the past but it has developed into a gourmet food.
