And here's the rest of the coffee Advent Calendar!
Days 14-25:
Windmeal, Jalan Ewe Hai. Three-layer coffee
Indah, Upper China Street. We love these guys. They've been there for us for many a long year now
Earthlings. Another old favourite. This is their "Snowman". Special treat after another visit to Immigration...
Ember, Jalan Padungan
Black Bean, Jalan Ewe Hai. The Liberica here is fab
The other Indah, at Think & Tink
Foh Miaw Cafe, Siburan. Road trip coffees for four, please!
HWC, The Spring. We were disappointed when these guys disappeared from Vivacity...
The Bing! at Green Heights
Kantin's signature coffee, made with buttermilk. It tastes almost chocolatey
Hup Ho's awesome combo of coconut, espresso, and osmanthus. Worked really well
And finally -- drumroll -- Christmas Day!
The Bing! on Jalan Padungan. Our first Kuching cafe... We've been coming here since 2018, so it seemed like a good one to round off with
This has been a fun little exercise. Absurdly easy... We've gone only to places that we KNOW do good coffee, and we were in no danger of running out of options.
It's nice to look back at the photos, which record memories of so many beloved Kuching scenes and valued coffee-vendors.
The photo at the top, needless to say, is not coffee (although To Melt For, our favourite gelateria, do offer coffee as well). This was our Christmas Day treat. The one pictured is roasted brown rice and jasmine, and Nigel's was chrysanthemum. I always like their interesting flavours.
And now we coast along until New Year...
