[This cafe is one of our Favourite Cafes of 2020. Check out the post here].
“Take the spiral stairs
Up into suspended space
Light trails on coffee.”
– a ThokohMakan haiku
[Pork-free] Curio is a newly-minted cafe off Jalan Ipoh – small, cozy with a countertop that reminds me of kuih talam (Mmm… kuih).
We love the space – bright with limited space for quiet conversations with friends over cuppa.
Menu (and tables) are limited as well with focus on espresso-based coffee and as well as Curio-us concoctions such as Skyfall and Black Soda.
A micro-roaster sits in a room at the back – the owners are still tinkering with the machine, but freshly roasted beans should be ready soon
A small selection of cakes and pastries keeps you company – we enjoyed our slice of Pecan Pie. We had a nice chat with the cordial couple – on what drives them to create and curate this space.
And they were too kind to give us a small sample of Guatemalan beans for our French press at home.
(Count the words starting with C in this post. How many could you find?)

![[Muslim-owned] Sang Kout Cafe is a quaint little cafe located in Pekan Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur. ☕️🍃
This cafe was a lovely find for us as Pekan Sungai Besi felt like a town untouched by time with its two-lane streets, pre-WW2 shoplots, central wet market and old shops. 🏬
In some ways, Pekan Sungai Besi reminded us of the central town areas in Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor and Bidor, Perak.
Pekan Sungai Besi used to be the central hub of mining activities ⛏ back in the days - and is only a 20-minute drive from the KL city centre.
We were here on the second day of CNY to take a break from the Chinese food and festivities. 🧧🧧
Thanks to the lovely weather, we had a good time savouring the Pandan Gula Melaka Cake (RM11.90) and Latte (RM7) as we surveyed the streets from the al-fresco seating area.
I supposed the cafe name is accurate, as we found ourselves "tersangkut" in time as we were transported to the Old Malaya days.
