Dong Tai Kopitiam, a beloved establishment in Ipoh, Malaysia, has gained a reputation for its authentic pre-war atmosphere and traditional cuisine. From hand-painted murals to the practice of 'tap toi' (sharing tables), the kopitiam offers a glimpse into Malaysian cultural heritage. The morning menu features an array of handcrafted kuih, delicate pastries showcasing Malaysian culinary artistry. The kopitiam's signature toast is a testament to the simple pleasures elevated to an art form.
