Originating in Jeram, Kedai Kopi Shin Lok (新乐茶室) is well-known for its Yam Puff and Vege Pau. The Klang branch of this coffee shop is located at the old town district.
Each morning, a fresh batch of wares is transported from Jeram. The Klang outlet is only responsible for steaming the food. As most preparation is done at a central location, the taste of food here is said to be identical to the original outlet.
Yam Puff (芋角, RM1.80) at Shin Lok Kopitiam is scrumptious indeed. The delicate crisp is easy on the mouth, unlike the sharp crisp like those from other stalls. Each piece of Yam Puff is filled with minced chicken and green peas in savory gravy.
Vege Pau (菜包, RM1.70) is one of the many baozi (包子) which the coffee shop offers. The bread is extremely soft and fluffy, while the interior contains jicama (sengkuang) and hard-boiled egg. Despite having eaten several pieces, the Vege Pau does not feel surfeiting.
For drinks, we ordered Kopi C (RM1.60) and Kopi O (RM1.40), which is Malaysian lingo for black coffee and coffee with evaporated milk respectively. Unfortunately, the coffee is unpleasantly sour in my opinion. I think the choice of coffee beans should be reconsidered.
