In early May, the xes.cx makan team made a trip down to Kuantan, Pahang.
When we first stepped in Kuantan, my first question was ‘Where to have lunch!?’
The answer was ‘Kemaman Kopitiam!’
So we headed towards the place, which on located on a corner lot, opposite Berjaya Megamall.
I immediately did a quick search on the internet and found a blog recommending their toasted bread and iced coffee.
So ordered their toasted bread and iced coffee plus their ‘milo king’, special nasi lemak and Myanmar noodles.
Niamah Noodles. Tasted weird.
The service was excellent. Commendable.
The interior was excellent as well. Very homey and comfortable.
But I must say their food and drinks sucked. It was no where near Yut Kee, Kluang Railway or Village Park.
Milo King – came with ice cream and chocolate chips – crap
The bill came up to RM39! Bloody expensive for a meal for 2 people for this type of food!
Upon checking, it seems that my nasi lemak with a small piece of grilled chicken and a fried egg costs me RM13.90!
Soooo not worth it! kanasai! RM13.90 I can eat two plates of nasi lemak + rendang ayam @ Village Park!
Thumbs down for this place!
But if you want to find a good place to relax and have a drink, you can head to Kemaman Kopitiam. The map is below.
What ever you order, don’t order Milo King. Damn kanasai.
the Niamah noodles, it sounds like some word in hakka like “nia mah seng” LOL
i think the only famous kopitiam in Kemaman itself is “Kedai Kopi Hai Peng” … they’re the real thing .. kemaman kopitiam, er .. sounds like a rip-off ..
Kemaman kopitiam is pretty much the same as Hai Peng. The son in law of Hai Peng is the business owner.
gosh .. i miss this shop …
Darren: ahha its supposed to be myanmar mee..i changed it to niama mee
kf&uaredumb: damnit should have asked you guys before i goo!!
Dan: wow, you from kuantan ar
This kemaman kopitiam is sort of like branch of the hai peng kopitiam in kemaman. The food price is damn expensive. For example, 2 pieces of french toast cost about 6 bucks. But, the food is nice, at least worth the money. If not, you really going to go siao is the food is not nice but the price is pocket burning. By the way, you can try old town too. It is almost like kemaman kopitiam.
Audrey: 6 bucks for 2 pieces of french toast is damn expensive. Around kl price liao. Kuantan ppl must be quite rich, can afford eating rm6 french toast
kemaman kopitiam is NOT hai peng kopitiam’s branch..and the owner is not hai peng’s son in law…so happened im from kuantan so i can fully confirm about my statement..you sould try out at hai peng’s someday..the kemaman’s hai peng which is the authentic one..or their branch in kuantan..same name..kedai kopi hai peng…waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the ex yet kanasai kemaman kopitam
Esther: wow, you also anti Kemaman Kopitiam huh
Totally agree wif esther…. the original hai peng has a branch in Ktn town… behind miva funiture shop…. go try their coffee…..
Btw, i;m from ktn and find it hard to recommend good food to my visiting frens….. food wise ktn sucks! however the beach is not bad lar….. : )
Bernard: will visit the beach next time I go there again!
I just went there for business trip…went to tried out the Kemaman Kopitiam as recommanded by my friend said very famous there…Guess wat…my mind thought about what u have wrote,cos is TRUE..is damn expensive!! 1 slice of bread i can buy 1 pack of gardenia bread d,and gardenia bread is nicer than that..then i order a white & black coffee..i thought what so special,just a cup of coffee added some milo,and this cos me RM5.50…wao! and by colleague order there famous Kemaman COffee Ice…gossshhh…the coffee is sour….yoh..no quality at all…im wondering how come so many ppls said this Kemaman Kopi nice??? Just becos of the Dato K & Siti Norhaliza photo is there? im so dissapointed with the service too..the waiters and waitresses there not comman manner at all…and the shop is very dirty and in the mess..seem like no manager to take k…emmm….suck!
Kemaman Kopitiam is not Hai Peng Branch BUT the owner of Kemaman Kopitiam, Kuantan, Mr Stanley is definately Hai Peng’s ex son in law. I am not saying that esther is wrong but being from Kuantan doesn’t mean she know everything… Do believe just go to Kemaman Kopitiam, Kuantan and ask Stanley himself or ask Eleane Wong (the ex wife and the daughter of Mr Wong Chang Hai, Hai Peng’s Owner) at Hai Peng Kemaman,
boney: wow. thanks for the feedback. these fellows should step up their game liao.
wang: thanks for the info.
Kuantan have more food to try like ikan bakar at tanjung lumpur , chicken chop at tc n etc. Hope the next trip you come will be more exciting .
thanks Cool!
anyone heard about Old Taste Kopitiam…is my favourite to lepak at Melaka…i like thier hazelnut coffee…
Concept also more or less like Old Town & Kemaman Kopitiam…
but Old Taste Kopitiam i feel more environment friendly

Old Taste sounds really familiar..i think they have a branch in KL
Ya,KL do have branch,but my friend said not as good as i said..haha…but Melaka OLD TASTE really do a good job,they will come out new items every few month…I went to try Uncle John Kopitiam’s coffee…OH MY GOD,is sour! how can they served sour coffee??!!! Anyone have the same experience?
GUYS…first time to KB Kemamang Kopitiang just now (10am). Ordered nasi lemak but the rice is yet ready cooked?!!! Oh please…and the ‘so called’ taukeh…eksyen giler…man…
Ordered bread toast, egg and baked beans (actually peas). And the conclusionzzzz :
1. No bad service and no bad food for me, thanks.
2. And…no second time.
