how awesome is chek hup ipoh white coffee?!
One of my favourite restaurants serve the most awesome white coffee I’ve ever had. Chances are, nine out of ten times I’d order their white coffee whenever I eat at the establishment. The reason why the restaurant will remain nameless here is because I don’t want to get anyone in trouble. Who knows, just in case lah.
One day I was tarpau-ing food from said restaurant, and I ordered a white coffee to go. I noticed that the girl working there took out a small packet, which I assumed was the instant powder for my white coffee. The boss of the restaurant was not there, so I nonchalantly asked the girl if I could see the packet. She hesitated for a while, then smiled and showed it to me. I quickly memorised the brand of the white coffee, and when I got back to my car, entered the information into my phone.
Sounds sneaky, right? Again like I said, who knows. You don’t want to be messing with anyone’s business.
Sometimes when you want something real bad, offering incense to the devil’s spawn would not give you even half a dime. Not to say that I did that, being a semi-Pastafarian and all. But I did make it a point to browse the coffee/tea section intently whenever I go grocery shopping, which is not often at all. As fate and luck would have it, none of the hypermarts I frequent carry the brand. Not Tesco in Mutiara Damansara, not Carrefour in Midvalley and Tropicana Mall, not Giant in Kelana Jaya. Ridiculous or not?!
One day I was at 1Utama when my sister called to ask me to buy something at Cold Storage. Off I went, and naturally I sauntered over to the coffee/tea section. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw…
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you… CHEK HUP IPOH WHITE COFFEE!
Fuwah… really, you would not believe how happy I was. I took the last two big packets (RM 13.xx), paid for them and went home. When my mother was here, I made a cuppa for her. She liked it a lot, and took one of my two big packets back home to Batu Pahat. Actually, my entire family now likes it — sisters, brother-in-laws, aunties, uncles…
For my mom’s birthday last month, I bought more Chek Hup Ipoh White Coffee. Ripped them open, took out the individually-packed coffee and arranged them nicely in a box. Loaded the box with some other stuff, sealed and wrapped it, then gave it to my mom as a birthday present.
Caffeine for mom
She laughed when she saw the content, then told me that it’s being sold in BP Mall in Batu Pahat for RM 11.xx. When we were at Cameron Highlands over the weekend, I saw it being sold at a small supermarket in Brinchang. So I bought one and some of us had it the next morning. I think they liked it.
Just now when I was getting some office stationery, the white/brown packaging caught my eye. Even our regular stationery shop carries the brand! Only thing is that they are selling it for RM 15.xx. Sien.
MMmmmmmmm…
It’s creamy, it’s aromatic, it just tastes awesome! I love my Chek Hup Ipoh White Coffee!! I just need to know where I can get it in PJ for Rm 11.xx …

yeah suanie, it is nice. but it could be better if stronger. remember i need to have 3/4 pack for a tea cup.
Yah I like it too, will give you one of the packets of my current favourite brand too. See what you think, it’s not so creamy but the coffee taste is sharper.
I’m back!
yeah, that’s really good!

The price of Rm11.xx is quite reasonable. The package looks familiar, maybe I should try one too.

hyperX: Rm 11.xx in Batu Pahat and Cameron Highlands. RM 13.xx in Cold Storage at 1U
Yehh it was very naisss, i need moreee!
it’s yummy! I like because very creamy! YEAY!
they also have 2in1, then u add ur own sugar.
actually this brand has about 3 types in the market, the one with yellow packaging call the KING of white coffee, is actually better ..
ky: buy!
fa: but honestly take too much at one go also jelak
LT: hehe why add own sugar! it’s not that sweet mah
lisalicious: ooo i bought the yellow one before! you are right .. it is slightly better. but the white packaging is good enough (cos sometimes cannot find the yellow packaging one hehe)
OMG! You have like HEAPS of coffee. Can i haz some?
Gosh I gotta buy it!
Tinkerbell!!! you can fly, you can fly, you can fly!!!
My mom’s favourite is Homefarm Coffee Mix, comes in this grey-metallic packaging, distributed by Fantes Marketing. I buy it at this grocery shop near Atria, same row as the Damansara Jaya Public Bank. Maybe you might find your coffee there too, at a good price? Not sure about your taste preference but sometime you might try mine, and I might try yours..
HB: you have to ask my mom. That stash in the photos above is hers
eiling: heh no promises that you’ll like it k, seeing that you are from ipoh and have probably tried more white coffee than me
suertes: oO got to try that one
Have you tried the Kemamang coffee?
If you get to Kota Baru, look for Kopi Deka. I think you can have a cup at White House.
Next time you are brwosing in supermarkets, please let me know if you come across condensed milk which I think has been replaced by yucky creamer. My coffee is best drunk with condensed milk.
dunno really how to appreciate or enjoy coffee to the max but… oldtown one is good for me d.. LOL =D hahaha
Yup, Chek Hup is the preferred brand esp for Penangites. Will check with my friend where she gets her supplies from in the Klang Valley, as she is crazy abt this.
Aiyor .. Giant in USJ 1 got la .. I get my supplies from there. Try the mint version or the caramel version, that taste good as well!
did i tell u about the catpoo coffee we had in bali? RM10 for one tiny cup
wow. do u need a damn whole box of it? for 2 years?
rats. now i feel like scouring the supermarkets in seremban to see if they have it here for rm11.xx
I’m sure all you coffee drinkers know this……but just in case.
Never fill up the water in your mug to the brim (well not ACTUALY to the brim, but you know what i mean….) If its a regular size mug, fill up 3/4 , if its a larger mug, then even less. If its a normal coffee cup, yes, fill it up! This way your coffee tastes stronger, richer, creamier, sweeter, oomphier, etc.
the next time u come sg … buy me some. kthxbai :p
hey hey… I read this post of urs at the RIGHT time because I’ve been switching coffee brand all this while but couldn’t find one tat satisfies me. I went to Sunway Pyramid Jusco … and guess what?
