K3K Benta Kaya: Not just fusion, it is a cultural fusion


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?
