Teluk Intan

A beautifully designed restaurant filled with colorful murals inside the restaurant. Outside, it looks kinda Nyonya but they serve typical Malaysian food with Hainam coffee and Sri Lankan Teh and homemade Nyonya kueh!

This sure looks like Jiufen in Taiwan!

Explaining about how Gula Melaka had increased in price but she remained honest in her ingredients as it shows in her kuehs’ quality. 

This beautiful soft spoken young girl, Shifa, showed me how she makes Ang ku kuih and Kuih Koci in this kopitiam.  Shifa will soon continue her studies in Perlis and she will no longer be working here. Wishing her all the best in her future endeavors. I am glad I got to create 2 short video reels of her at work.
