Typica Cafe

 After an unsuccessful search for it at pudu plaza, my dad finally found this coffee shop at the ground floor of Shaw Parade in KL last saturday. Dad heard an interview of this place’s owner on radio last few weeks and decided to go give it a try. The coffee shop which is in a deserted corner of Shaw Parade was open only last April. It is a small shop which can seat about 10 people at most i think.

After seating at the corner of the tiny shop, 1 of the pretty shopkeeper passed us 2 menus and started introducing their cafe’s special. They prepare their coffees in 2 methods, syphon and filter. To order, customers can choose which method they want and which type of coffee beans. There are 6 different types to choose from. Although it is not printed in their menu, they also serve fruit juices and latte.

According to the friendly shopkeeper, syphon method produces a more intense flavor compared to the filter method. After ordering 2 cups of coffee and a japanese cucumber fruit juice, the shopkeeper recommend us their special ’taufoo cake’. She said the texture of the cake is very soft with a layer of peanut butter in between. It sounds nice so we ordered a plate also.

After taking our order, the shopkeeper even invited us to sit at the bar to watch her make our coffee. She was very friendly and chatty, explaining the steps as she was making our coffee. After getting our order, mom and dad starting reading the newspaper and enjoying their coffee while sd and me explore around the tiny place and snapping photos all over the place. As both the shopkeepers were young girls in their 20s we started chatting about coffee. The shopkeeper recommended their invention pandan latte and also mention about irish coffee. Since irish coffee is not common, we decided to try it also.

There are a few layers in the irish coffee; syrup, whisky, coffee and whipped cream; bottom up. We drank it without stirring to taste the different layers of the drink. Although both the coffee and whisky tastes distinctive in the drink but they blend well together.

Besides selling drinks, the cafe also sells coffee equipment such as coffee bean grinder and coffee syphon. The prices are not too expensive and they do not charge service charges or government tax. All in all although the variety of food and drink they offer are abit limited but the service and quality they offer makes the cafe worth a visit. The deco of the place are quite homey and comfy despite their limited space. It is a nice place to de-stress while reading over a cup of coffee and cake or catching up with friends.
