Typica Coffee, Shaw Parade, Pudu

Hidden in the dodgy part of town is this tiny and cosy specialty coffee place. It sits on the side of a run down old mall, Shaw Parade in Pudu. Decided to give this a try after hearing a bit from some mates. Surprisingly the place was rather packed on a Sunday afternoon. Matured, white collar looking folks in there, enjoying their coffee while reading a book or a group of them chatting with the owners about coffee. Amazing.





Looks like lab apparatus. Coffee making equipment.

















The coffee here ain't cheap. If I remember correctly, the cheapest brew is for about RM25. You choose the type of beans, they'll serve the beans out in a plate for you to smell, play with and maybe eat them I guess. (My apologies..I have no idea) Then they take the beans back and grind them. The whole process of brewing this coffee actually takes a while. It's done in a bunch of flasks that looks like lab equipment. The owner of this place, I reckon, takes pride in brewing the coffee. She will stand guard, smell it, stir it until it's al dente, then pour the freshly brewed coffee into a "Typica" cup. No milk is given and no sugar to be seen. Did not want to ask for it as I already observed the people in this place. Everyone had theirs black. Not wanting to be outdone, had mine black too. It better taste good for RM25+ a pop.
It was actually pretty nice. The coffee aroma was not the same as the usual Nescafe I have every morning. It was actually pretty soothing. (They should make perfume smell this way) The taste? Slightly acidic, good after taste that was not bitter after all. It sort of confused my palette but as it streamed down my untrained throat, it left me wanting more. Pretty much orgasmic to me. LOL.

Well, for coffee lovers out there, you should give this place a try. Pretty expensive though but I reckon you will not be hanging around this side of town too much.

Will I return = YES only if I have the spare cash to burn on expensive coffee.

Points = 2.5
(0.5 was deducted as they did not have much to eat there. The cheese cake I ordered was just too normal to even bother to write about and it was way way to expensive for such a small slice.)

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I
had to tell someone!
