It is apparent that nowadays wherever we
go, there will be a so called Kopitiam around the corner somewhere.
However, most of the kopitiam we visited,
doesn’t matter whether people wonder where they are originated, these kopitiam
places do not seem to offer surprises when we dine in. K3K Benta Kaya however,
is one of the rare kopitiam that surprises us with their food offering.
K3K’s latest FaceBook promotion is a very good
example. (www.facebook.com/K3KBentaKaya1955).
The promotion offers a variety of local cuisines with a nice cold drink and a
cool ice cream dessert.
Great thing about this promotion is that,
you can create your own cultural fusion by selecting combination of main course
from either North, East Malaysia and traditional Malaysian style Nasi Lemak or
Western style Milky Noodle with a contrast ice cold drink of different culture
origin.
Take for an example, a wonderful cultural fusion
is the combination of Nasi Lemak, our traditional Malay cuisine with the
cooling Asam Boi, a traditional Chinese Suan Mei mixed in lemon ice.

Asam Laksa on the
other hand, surprises us with its originality in Penang
taste. Just when you thought it cannot get any better, try order the Malay
style air syrup mixed with cincau. The sourly yet spicy tasted Asam Laksa tampered
by the ice cool, sweet yet plainly mixture of syrup with cincau. Enjoy the
moment of hot & sour then follow by sweet and cool syrup cincau is a
blessing one doesn’t get everyday.

Nasi Kunyit
traditionally is a kampong style Malay cuisine served in East Coast Malaysia. Folks
in Klang Valley and West Coast don’t really have
much chance to taste it. We are pretty amazed to find this dish in K3K Benta
Kaya. Later we realized K3K actually is originated from East Coast, not
surprise then why it offers this unique dish while other alike kopitiam don’t
have it.

Milky Noodle is a
strange one.

It is an East-West
fusion afterall, I guess. A typical hot plate used to serve Chinese Tit-Pan
dishes is being used to serve a rather western style milky noodle. The trick to
enjoy this dish is that you have to finish it while the plate is still hot. If
you wait until the plate is cold, the milky source could become rather oddful.
Ice-cream for dessert
anyone?
