KOPI 434 CAFE IN MUAR REVISITED

I was in Muar today, attending a funeral of a relative. It was a day trip and I decided to stop by at Kopi 434 Cafe in town before driving back home. I was lucky as there were many empty seats as it was a working day.

I ordered coffee, Kaya Toasts and Steamed Bun with Otak Otak Filling [blended savoury fish fillet]. Unfortunately there was very little butter on the Kaya Toast and even not enough Kaya [coconut jam], and that was a letdown.

On the other hand, the coffee was strong enough that I did not feel sleepy at all driving from Muar to Johor Bahru for 2 hours. It worked on me effectively. That was one valid reason to come back to this cafe when I am in Muar next time.

MY MUAR GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - 434 COFFEE SHOP REVISITED

23rd AUGUST 2019 ~ Who needs Starbucks when there is Sai Kee 434 Coffee Shop in town? This should be like a must-visit when in Muar and should be my third time here. Other than coffee, you could also get other food. This time I tried its Mee Bandung, a signature dish of Muar. The food was alright but it would be better if seafood is added, just like its original recipe.

If you are at lost, not knowing what to bring back home from Muar, this place will have the answer for you. They are selling 434 Coffee, in all varieties - just the coffee powder, or coffee bags, 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 coffee, white coffee and more. Another food item that I love is its bread and butter that is toasted and becomes like cookies. Love to eat it by dipping it in hot drinks like tea or coffee - just heaven.

I will sure go there again when I am in Muar in the future.

A 2-DAY ACADEMIC GETAWAY TO MUAR

30TH & 31ST OCTOBER 2017 ~ We were again gathered for an academic get-together in Muar. We were here in the same town last year.We definitely had to make this trip a fun one as the saying goes, all work an no play makes Jack a dull boy.

The first activity of the day was coffee session at the kopitiam (coffee shop) jusr beside the hotel we were staying at, Classic Hotel. This should be a branch of the original shop near the bus station.

For dinner, we made a return trip to Muar Soup House. There was even a surprise birthday celebration for three lucky members of the group.

For breakfast on the second day, we made the effort to find an eating place in town and successfully found this restaurant selling Mee Bandung and Sate. When in Muar, ate breakfast like Muarians do.

To conclude our gastronomic adventure in Muar, we stopped at (the other) Sai Kee Coffee Shop in town on our way back home.

There would be tonnes of work waiting for us ahead but at least we all had happy tummies during our stay in Muar.

MY MUAR GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - SAI KEE 434 COFFEE SHOP

24TH OCTOBER 2016 ~ After the briefing session of the day had ended, we decided to have a coffee at this well-known coffee shop in Muar. The place is situated right opposite the Muar express bus station. 

The people in Muar had started consuming Sai Kee 434 Coffee as early as in 1953. The present coffee shop not only serves coffee and toasts, but also other Malay food like "mee rebus", "nasi lemak" and "mee bandung", and a variety of local dishes and western food as well.

The shop also exhibits some antique items from the past and a collection of tea pots, cups and saucers.

Visitors could buy coffee powder from the shelves and also other food items.

This should be a good place for coffee lovers to hang out but I don't think people could stay for too long. There was a constant flow of people coming in and out when we were there.
