Kopitiams are a culture here in Malaysia. Where else
would you find a place to chill with a cup of coffee and catching up on missed
news? Some of these kopitiams are a gem for serving the best of a nostalgic
dish. In the spirit of such kopitiams, here is one. Known to serve one of the
best, their award winning Nyonya Laksa is the talk of town, and all the other
towns around. Situated in the origin of the Nyonya culture Malacca, the laksa
has to go through some straining effort to produce but the end product is worth
all the sweat and tears. Because of the meal preparation, Nyonya Laksa is
usually cooked and served in the comfort of a home as an occasional indulgence,
but Bess Kopitiam took up the challenge and serves authentic Nyonya Laksa for
more people to enjoy whenever.
Drawing
the attention of a number of people to this quaint little coffee shop, it shows
that one is willing to search high and far for good food. The best part is Bess
made sure that every bowl of laksa out of their kitchen is equally consistent
in taste and pleasure. A bowl of the Bess is filled with a rich and savoury curry
that is neither too runny nor too thick, along with cockles, dried tofu and fish
cake, poured over white vermicelli topped with cucumber, bean sprouts and
hard-boiled egg. That, with the affordable price of a good slurp-y meal will
have you planning your next trip down to Melaka. Another thing Bess is known
for is their limited but all equally satisfying toasts, such as the Cheese
Toast and the Ground Peanut Butter Toast.
