When I was in Malaysia an Indian friend offer to me a coffee, It tasted really nice and kinda unique. I'm not sure if that coffee was unique from Malaysia or recipe from India. The store where I got those was just a regular hawker around Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.

It looked something like this: enter image description here

I would be really happy if you recognize or know what I am describing.

  • [Indian Filter Coffee](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_filter_coffee) is pretty much the only famous, unique coffee from India. It looks similar but with less milk or cream. – user1190992 Jul 08 '13 at 19:28

    That looks like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_coffee, but although that's found in a lot of europe and all of the middle east I didn't think it went that far east. – vwiggins Jul 12 '13 at 14:23
  • +1 for vwiggins guess of Turkish, but I think we'll need more information to make a solid guess. Any details you can add? Like, more specific than "nice and unique"? Or, if you saw it made (with what method) etc ... – hunter2 Jul 19 '13 at 08:02
  • @user1190992, I think that's pretty close guess. I'll have to find some shops that sells this locally to really find out. – Pennf0lio Jul 19 '13 at 21:05
  • @vwiggins, the turkish coffee looks very thick or is just on the picture. Thanks though. – Pennf0lio Jul 19 '13 at 21:06
  • @hunter2, Yes, sorry for that. I don't have any additional information I can add anymore, I can just rely on my taste bud whether that's the coffee or not. – Pennf0lio Jul 19 '13 at 21:07

There's a very specific coffee culture to singapore and malaysia with a ton of varients.

Lets start with the basics

This is a kopi o

By default, any drink you order is hot. This is plain black coffee and any coffee order you make at a kopi tiam will likely be a varient on this.

You might note that its somewhat darker than your example I'd assume this means it has some condensed milk added to it. A quick google search suggested two varients.

enter image description here

kopi 'c' - or coffee with (evaporated) milk

enter link description here

kopi nai (with condensed milk and sugar) -

The former looks a bit too light, though exact mixes vary. Chances are its one of these.

That said, there's two distinct regional styles of roasting - typical coffee roasting is done with a hint of sugar and margarine, and roasted VERY dark. There's also a style called white coffee that just uses margarine that's supposed to be famous in ipoh.

This is "kampung coffee", or "kopi-o". The linked site says that it is roasted with margarine and sugar.
