Hailam Kopitiam

It's not unusual to see kopitiam all over Malaysia. I bet you can find one near your neighbourhood. Let's just say, kopitiam is like the new "it" thing. It's the cheaper version of Starbucks. They usually provide free WiFi and you are allowed to sit there for hours, although it's not advisable as many people are waiting for a table, especially during peak hours. A newly open Hailam Kopitiam was opened here in SS 2, Petaling Jaya (the same row of shop lots as 7-Eleven and next to Swensen). The atmosphere here is great. The moment you set foot into this kopitiam, you'll smell the classic perfume of every kopitiam and i mean classic. If you walk into a kopitiam and you don't smell this strong fragrant, walk out now! No, i'm just kidding. This classic smell is none other than Coffee! This place is filled with coffee aroma and it will just tickle your taste buts. This place is everything you can ask for in a kopitiam. The only downside is, the place is quite cramp. The tables and stools (yes, stools. What will a kopitiam be without the classic brown stool?) are closely placed together, so close that you can hear exactly what the other table is saying. The other downside is, the price is a little bit more pricey than a usual kopitiam. You would actually need at least RM 10 for a meal (including drink). One plate of normal rice and chicken, it cost about RM 8++. And the list goes on. I guess you would need to try it yourself to know. They do have much, much more variety in their food (scroll down and you will know what i mean) and i give them an applause for their creativity.
