When I was a little girl, my father used to take me along for his regular cup of coffee. He will place me on the back seat and I will hug him around his waist, making sure my little feet will not get caught in the back wheel as he cycled to the coffee shop. At the coffee shop, he will then lift me up onto the chair next to him. He will pour some of the hot coffee from his cup onto the saucer to cool and passed it to me.
What is so special about the coffee? That hot coffee was served with a piece of butter in it. That was many years ago and I have totally forgotten about the coffee with butter until recently. Someone shared a video about his foodie outing in Pusing and mentioned the coffee with butter. Hubby and our friends were interested and off we went to Pusing for breakfast on the last Thursday of April which happened to be a public holiday. This was before the implementation of MCO 3.0, nationwide lockdown.
We managed to find this Loong Foo Kopitiam, located at Jalan Keretapi Lama, Pusing. We were seated at a table for 4 people. 1 kopi-o ice and 1 kopi-o kosong (unsweetened) for the ladies.
2 hot coffee with butter for the men.
I took a few sips and it was really good getting the taste of butter in it. This coffee with butter is best enjoyed when the coffee is still hot.
Our lady friend ordered a bowl of curry noodle with some stuffed items.
I cannot resist assam laksa, so I ended up with a bowl plus some stuffed items.
Beef brisket with daikon soup noodle for the 2 men.
After breakfast, we took the back lane to the Pusing wet market.
We stopped to buy our favourite taro or yam from a roadside stall.
Pillow shaped glutinous rice dumpling with wrapping removed.
We also bought the above glutinous rice dumpling, wrapped in the shape of a pillow from a roadside stall.
After steaming the rice dumpling to heat it up, the leaves wrapping was removed to reveal the inside of the dumpling. It was packed with ingredients. Hubby and I shared this dumpling plus soup for lunch.
I took out the leftover chicken herbal soup from the fridge to heat up. One bowl for hubby and one bowl for me. This heavy lunch lasted me until past dinner.
Friends came over to have dinner at the nearby food court. Hubby ordered the above, meatballs and garlic bread for his dinner. No dinner for me because I was still full from having a bigger portion of the glutinous rice dumpling. That showed that my digestion has slowed down.
I took a snapshot of this antique kid tricycle on one of our visit to Concubine Lane.
My new Coleus plants are doing well in my garden and I was able to share some cuttings with friends.
Our earthly fathers trained us for a few brief years,
doing the best for us that they knew how,
but God's correction is always right and for our best good,
that we may share his holiness.
(Hebrews 12:10, The Living Bible-TLB)
Thanks for your sharing, selamlar...
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day!
DeleteI haven't had any taro in years. Miss them terribly..the lunch looks delicious and filling, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteCoffee with butter sounds decadent but so good!
ReplyDeleteI'd have picked assam laksa too, though the cube of pig's blood in the curry does make it look very authentic.
Sorry Stacy, it is not pig's blood in the curry. It was a piece of stuffed purple eggplant that looked like pig's blood.
DeleteWhattt.... I was completely fooled hahaha.
DeleteLooks can be deceiving.
Delete...what a cute little planter, the coleus would look nice in it. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your day,
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Have a great day!
DeleteWhat is that sauce on top of the meatballs? Coffee with butter sounds yummy, I have not tried it before, but won't it be kind of oily with butter?
ReplyDeleteI think it is mushroom sauce. Have to drink the coffee with butter while it is still hot. Not good once it is cooled.
DeleteCoffee with butter sounds interesting. I have never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteCoffee and butter is only found in a few places.
DeleteI have seen signs here for butter coffee but never tried it.
ReplyDeleteI think it is not healthy to drink often.
DeleteI've heard of butter with tea, but not coffee.
ReplyDeleteHere, I haven't heard of butter tea. I wonder how it is made.
DeleteCoffee with butter. Now that's very interesting. I'm going to have to try it Nancy.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Thank you, Paul. Remember to finish drinking it before it gets cool.
DeleteI've never had coffee with butter before. Very different twist. What a fond memory of you dad.
ReplyDeleteI love all the food. I'm hungry now.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. The coffee with butter only taste nice when it is hot.
DeleteA mi marido le gusta el café con mantequilla. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteI have never seen a coleus that looks like this one. The ones here are red, white, and pink. Now I want to try butter in my coffee!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. I only come across this coleus recently.
DeleteWow! Unusual to have butter in coffee! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi.
DeleteI've never heard of the coffee with butter but it sure sounds interesting! Everything looks delicious as always and I like the antique trike.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteFirst time hearing about this butter on coffee! That's a sweet memory of your childhood and that triggers cuter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteI've not heard of butter in coffee. Not even when I lived in England for 2 years. I've been making alot of soup lately. Your coleus plant is pretty. My geranium plant came back this spring. One I was given last year is starting to bloom. I finally put it in a small red pot. The succulent plant in it died cuz it was where it got too much rain. Nice story about coffee with your dad. Have a good day🌹🐰🌺🙏
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grandma Beckyl. I am not good with succulent plant.
DeleteYou must be very young then to be able to fit at the back metal seat of the bicycle. Butter in coffee, we have it here in kl as bullet proof coffee but the butter is melted into the coffee before serving the coffee not like yours where the butter is still in a chunk. When the coffee has all been drunk, are there still any unmelted butter left in the cup?
ReplyDeleteThe coffee was very good when it was hot but it doesn't taste good when the coffee is no longer hot. Yes, the butter was not fully melted.
DeleteI love all the food you show. Now I feel like eating assam laksa. Wonder where I can buy takeaway assam laksa near me with fish meat. Hhmmmm. I have not seen Coleus plants before. Looks very nice with the various shades of green. Are there any flowers for this plant?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Coleus have beautiful and colourful leaves but flowers are tiny and not colourful.
DeleteI love coffee! ))
ReplyDeleteCoffee with butter, who knew. Your meal looks amazing the antique kids trike design looks very much like my tricycle! We hope you have a marvellously happy day!
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a beautiful day!
DeleteI've never seen coleus like that - I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/05/ebony-ivory.html
Thank you, Sue.
DeleteHere in Kuching there is one well known old coffee shop called Joo Seng that serves coffee with butter.
ReplyDeleteI think the coffee with butter is only in the old coffee shops.
DeleteThe antique tricycle with the purple flowers is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMany years ago i read about putting butter in coffee, someday i will have to try that.
Thank you, Mimi.
DeleteSuch warm memories that you have of your father taking you out for a cuppa! I remembered my grandfather telling me about how his father used to put ghee in his coffee. I thought it was so strange! I have heard of bulletproof coffee which is coffee blended with butter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, PH. Now I know that there are many versions. Coffee with ghee and coffee blended with butter.
DeleteCoffee with butter idea is really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a great day.
DeleteCoffee with butter, interesting combination. Love the little tricycle. Best wishes Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Happy weekend.
