SERIAN, March 5: Fancy a hearty meal and some nice cold traditional coffee when in Serian? Toko Minuman Seng Hua will be a good place to start.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Serian’s old township lies a charming, age-old coffee shop that feels like it has been there since time immemorial.
A local favourite, this unassuming spot is a haven for those craving hearty, traditional dishes that satisfy even the most discerning palates.
Despite its weathered exterior, the coffee shop offers some of the best traditional dishes and it serves perhaps one of the best coffee in town.
The coffee served here is masterpiece in its own right. Made with traditional coffee beans, the coffee boasts a smooth yet deep flavour.
The latte, in particular, stands out with its thick foam layer and velvety flavour that undoubtedly reflects the operator’s dedication to crafting exceptional brews.
Moving on to the dishes, Toko Minuman Seng Hua serves some of the best fried chicken rice in town.
The dish features a well-seasoned succulent chicken that remains juicy despite being deep-fried, and complimented further by the savoury sauce which keeps you coming back for more.
Apart from the signature chicken rice, the coffee shop also offers traditional pork leg rice that is a true culinary delight.
The pork is cooked to perfection—so tender that it falls effortlessly off the bone and melts in the mouth with every bite.
The rich, savoury flavour of the meat is complemented by the aromatic sauce, creating a satisfying experience that lingers on the palate.
This dish is more than just food; it’s a journey back in time. It evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting diners back to simpler times when hearty, home-cooked meals were cherished.
It is a dish that brings warmth and comfort, making it a beloved favourite for customers, and a perfect reminder of the culinary traditions that have stood the test of time.
And if you can still have room for more, just take a quick stroll to the coffee shop’s back lane. There, you can find the famous Ah Guan Pau, a must-try treat perfect for takeaway.
It’s the ideal way to round off a meal that is already brimming with flavour and nostalgia. — DayakDaily
