Kluang Station

I have to say that the kopitiam at the Kluang railway station is really famous. What is so special with it? The roti bakar, special hand-made kaya, coffee and nasi lemak.

Mona once told me that her colleagues are so excited to find out that she is from Kluang.

They informed each other, "Hey, I tell you... You know? Mona is from Kluang! That Kluang!! Very famous one! Their roti bakar and coffee are just so best!!!"
And so she named Kluang as land of roti bakar, a new name other than bat town.

(I should be proud too since I am also from Kluang!)

There is a Kluang Station in One Utama. The decoration and renovation is just exactly like the one in Kluang with the yellowish milky color of wooden wall and also fence, just that it is not so dirty and old.

I can see that its business is very good since everytime I pass by, it is so crowded and difficult to get empty seat. My friend told me that there is another branch in Ikano but I haven't been there before.

I have been to the one in One Utama once with TK and Mona. The food is also okay. Crispy and aromatic roti bakar is resemblance with those in the original shop at the Kluang railway station.

But just that... The price is much more expensive! One roti bakar plus a cup of coffee plus tax will be RM5+. About thrice if compare to the one in Kluang. And there is no discount for those who come from Kluang =p

However, this Kluang Station offers special Kluang laksa and come western food like chicken chop to increase the variety of its food in the menu.

(Frankly, I never know if there is any so-called special laksa in Kluang. I only know that Botak curry mee is kinda famous in Kluang.)

(And Botak curry mee reminds me of my Botak curry mee gang. The sweet moments in Gunung Lambak and the Botak curry mee stall with uncle, CY, PC and FF.)

The original shop in Kluang has also opened more branches now. A few months ago I had brunch at one of its branches in Kluang near flat house with PC, FF and her nephew. We had a lot of food but altogether only spent not more than RM10!

It is still better to visit the kopitiam which is just at the Kluang railway station. Economic, warm-feeling and original!!!

Since it is so famous, so I will bring Adeline and Yuing to try on the very famous roti bakar at the very original Kluang Station =)

Diana told me that she bought some coffee powder from Kluang Coffee Factory (which located just near to my house) back to Setiawan during her last Hari Raya break. She placed the coffee powder at the staff pantry. Her Malay colleagues like the coffee a lot. Some of them even ask her to buy more when she goes back to Kluang next time.

Kluang is actually very famous, I never realise it before...
