Kedai Kopi Hai Peng, Chukai (Terengganu)

This is a must stop place on the way back from a dive trip :-)
Add: 3753 Jalan Sulaimani, Kemaman, Terengganu
Tel: +609 859 7810
Here's a review of Hai Peng from a visit one year ago ... The coffee is still excellent!


The Vietnamese-style strong coffee ... slurp!


Iced Coffee & Lemon Twister (not for the faint of heart ... damn sour!)


Roti Bakar (Toast)


Soft boiled Eggs


Asian Spaghetti (Not particularly good ... mediocre!) served with a Sardin sauce.


Best of all ... the simple Fried Meehoon. Delicious!

LEAVING Hainan for Singapore proved to be worthwhile for Wong Sang Hai and to the people of Kemaman. When he bought over the business 66 years ago, little did he know that it would become such a hit with locals and tourists alike.
Hai Peng Coffee Shop was set up by Wong in 1940. It is now run by Elaine Wong, Wong's youngest daughter. Elaine recalls how her father asked her to take over the business when she was living in Canada. She hesitated at first, but eventually agreed when her business over there failed.
When asked about competition, she admitted that while there are many coffees shops around the area, she remains unperturbed. Such is her confidence in her blend of coffee, which uses 100% APS Arabic beans imported from Brazil, Indonesia and Columbia. These special beans are roasted using the Italian roasting method to bring out an aromatic smell and unique taste. In fact, due to overwhelming demand, Hai Peng Coffee Shop has started packaging the coffee and selling them off the shelf.

Fatboybakes: The lady at the ORIGINAL Kemaman Hai Peng had a fall out with the guy who opened the one at Bangsar ... haha, she told us so when we were at Terengganu the last time! Let me know how the one in Bangsar tastes?

I just dived Redang, my fave spot was the Seahorse at a new location! http://juliansi.blogspot.com/2008/04/diving-redangkalong-seahorse-wreck.html

So much talk about Hai Peng coffee so this trip last Sunday I went to try. I order black coffee 'O' without sugar as this the right method to taste coffee it is nothing so special and good about it bread toast bread to thick and rough any coffee shop in the early 1960-1980 can brew good coffee n bread toast wth kaya ,butter. Vietnam black coffee 'O'no sugar still the best in Asia. Can't drink black coffee'O' no right to talk about coffee taste etc.

I order black coffee 'O'without milk and sugar as it is the right method to taste the coffee. It is ordinary not so good as every one claim. If you can't drink black coffee 'O'no milk no sugar please give your comment on coffee what people drinking is modern coffee with added sugar, milk, ice etc toast bread kaya butter sossoso lah.
