While in Malaysia last week, I decided to try Ipoh White Coffee.
I know what you’re probably thinking as you look at the picture, and I will tell you that I too was surprised (and slightly bummed) that the coffee was not actually white.
According to my source of knowledge for all things in the world everywhere (wikipedia), “white coffee” is a literal translation from its Chinese name, 怡保白咖啡. I have NO idea what that means.
Essentially the beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine (don’t tell Green Peace) and the resulting coffee is mixed with condensed milk.
Verdict: Way too sweet for my taste buds, although the kaya toast I ate with it was dee-licious!
