Kopi Che Nah, They Remain In Teluk Intan

Coffee, everyone.


I love coffee. Or rather, I NEED coffee. Everybody needs coffee. They say, you need at least 2 of this a day. I say I need 6. Or I'd find myself in zeezeeland in no time.

Apart from the usual 'that brand' of instant coffee, (I can put it's name here but I decided not to, because this entry is about Kopi Che Nah) I enjoy this locally produced coffee. It's ground. It's mixed with all kinds of other things. And it's delicious and invigorating.


I tend my small shop in Kampung Bahagia in Teluk Intan and I sell this too. Conveniently, I can easily brew up one, without having to worry about running out of stock, unless the shop runs out of stock. What the nook am I talking about??


No, I mean, it's easy for me. Manning a cashier counter, you have to have this. But, I alternate it with 'that brand'. Just to make sure. Of what I don't know.


From a reliable source, I found out that Kopi Che Nah has been around for many many years, and yet they are not able to break through next door market. Che Nah the founder herself has long been Allahyarhamah (deceased). Her grandchildren are now holding the directions of the company.   And oh... there's a spin off products called Sayang Nana also by Che Nah's grandchildren. Does that tell anything about why it never goes beyond the border of Daerah Hilir Perak?


Where to get them? Well, because they remain in Teluk Intan, you can only get them in Teluk Intan, specifically at my shop in Kampung Bahagia. The price RM3.80 for 200g packs (USD not applicable. What for?)

Selipar Jepun

The Plain Slippers.


In America, Flip-flops or sometimes Thongs. But thongs can always be confused with something else.

In Britain, they don’t have these. It’s too cold to leave your feet unwrapped like that. So they don’t have a name for it. Slippers, in Britain, are the ones that you use before bed, usually adorned with fluffed up cartoony shapes, so as to trap the little heat that may be exerted around the feet.

In Malaysia, Selipar Jepun (Japanese Slippers – Japanese, probably because it was introduced by Japanese Army during those days. Also, Japanese ladies in kimonos were always portrayed with similar looking footwear then. Selipar, is of course, the Malay tongue of the word slipper which was then adopted into the language)

Here, how they look like.

I particularly like the slipper in the photo above for a few reasons. They're made by Asadi. Funny thing is, we used to think of them as one of the bad industry copiers (in this case that German sports apparel producer Adisomething), but they've certainly come a long way and managed to develop a brand  name that stands on its own.


The best reason : I have used the pair for almost 3 years now. I mean uuuuuuuuuused them. And still nowhere near its expiry point.

Introduction To My Blog

Hello.

I wouldn't consider this as my first entry, rather an introduction to what my blog is about.


I haven't plan anything out of this world for it. Neither would it be so meticulously planned as some other blogs. But that remains to be seen.


At the moment I would post anything that I like, and anything that makes me grouse.


As time goes by, who knows what this can turn out to be.


And I try as much as possible to post and say nice things, except when I grouse. I was not paid whatsoever by whomever, if you wonder, I just happen to like the stuff. You can also comment whatsoever, say 4-letter or 12-letter words,  I'll take them as compliments.


Thank you for visiting my blog.
