All About Pahang - Raub
Old timers and those who frequented Raub, a town nowadays more popular for its Musang King cultivar than everything else, will know the existence of this kopitiam that has been around for the longest time.
Located along the main road of Jalan Tun Razak, you'll see no big signage but instead the main pillar where 东南美 was inscribed. The interior seems to have no changes since Day 1 - the old school wooden frame with mirror on the wall with old school cabinet.
Regular customers always sit at the back where they make coffee but most of them will fight for every available table in front especially on weekends. For me, I always drop by in the morning if I happen to be on my way to and fro KL. The lady boss already knows what I want once I am seated down.
◾toast bread - old school toast or steam bread are available. They make one of the best kaya in town and like old school kopitiam, spread the kaya and butter on your own. It'll be perfect if there's charcoal taste to it. ◾half boiled eggs - the colour of the yolk was beautiful as I broke it with spoon. ◾nasi lemak packet - available in limited quantity each day (outsourced), the sambal was a bit spicy but tasted delicious nonetheless. ◾Chee cheong fun - pick your favourite ingredients from the stall in front of the restaurant. ◾curry mee - don't bother ordering unless you're craving for noodle. The noodle stall quality is just so-so. ◾char siew bao - they do have options for bao, loh mai kai and siew Mai. ◾drinks - my teh si was good while the kopi si had the oomph. But in terms of taste, I will still vouch for SYC Hainan Kopitiam nearby.
Once you've overcome the parking problem - you'll be very lucky if you can find one nearby - enjoy your morning kopi with the awesome toast and egg while you're there.
Tips: park at the back row of the restaurant but remember to put...
Read moreGenuine old-time kopitiam with food being the main draw. Owner & staff were helpful in getting the six of us seated despite it being a busy morning.
Being our breakfast stop, we started off with roti bakar with in-house kaya & butter plus half-boiled eggs accompanied with cups of aromatic & tasty hainan coffee. The kaya was so tasty that we had to buy a few home.
For the remainder of our drive, we filled up with kon low mee, fish ball mee & curry mee. No complaints here as we finished up everything!
Tip: when looking for this shop, don't expect to see a big bright signboard. It only has a small traditional signboard half-hidden by...

Kopi not bad lah, full of village or old shop feel. Toast with Kaya Butter and Half Boil Egg is great. As others comments said its really fresh and the egg yolk is red in color.
Didn't saw the curry chee cheong fun stalls as mentioned, just a mee stalls that sell pork noodles, and pan mee (curry laksa only available in weekend). Ordered pork noodles and pan mee. Hmm...just soso only, nothing special. But the staff...
