🍜 Dublin's Malaysian Hidden Gem: Kopitiam Review

📍 53 Capel St, Dublin 1 (Where "why haven't I come sooner?" hits hard) ✨ First Impressions: "Cozy, aromatic, and suddenly very hungry" - this family-run spot delivers authentic Penang vibes with Dublin charm. The menu? Small but mighty. 🧋 Drinks That Slap: • Hot Milo (€4.5): "Not your sickly-sweet European hot chocolate" - malted, rich, and diabetes-friendly • Milo Dinosaur (€4.8): Iced version topped with whipped cream snowdrifts ❄️🍫 (summer orders only!) 🍢 MUST-ORDER DISHES: 1️⃣ Satay Ayam (€7.5) "Skewers so tender, they’ll ruin all other chicken for you" 🥜 Peanut sauce MVP: "No sugar overload here – just nutty, savory perfection" 2️⃣ Tom Yum Seafood Soup (€6) 🌶️ "Gentle spice, maximum umami" (Packed with squid + prawns – "who said this smells? LIARS!") 3️⃣ Hainanese Chicken Rice (€12.8) 🍗 "The chicken melts like butter... and that garlic-chili sauce? Chef’s kiss" 4️⃣ Salted Egg Squid (€15.5) 🏆 🦑 "Crispy, creamy, crack-like addictive" (Pro move: Salad-dipping in leftover yolk dust) 💡 Insider Tips: • Portions are HUGE – two dishes satisfy 3 people • Skip the basic curry for underrated stars like Nasi Lemak (weekend special!) • Vegetarian? Their roti canai is flaky heaven #KopitiamDublin #MalaysianFood #DublinEats
