Heineken Crowns Malaysian Bartender as Its Global Draught Champion
December 12th, 2024
Checking out the new concept cafe that opened in PJ this month: Salt ‘n Koffie Gallery at Jaya One.
Salt ‘n Koffie, a colourfully cheerful space whose friendly creators clearly love potted plants & fascinating furniture.
The ‘salt’ in this cafe’s name could be a reference to ‘salt water’ – Salt ‘n Koffie is reputedly run by diving enthusiasts who sell a plethora of paraphernalia here linked to their primary passion.
‘Koffie’ seems self-explanatory, but Salt ‘n Koffie serves something special that’ll likely be a major magnet for dessert aficionados: ‘The Accidental Affogato’ (RM12), with a scoop of Sangkaya’s increasingly renowned coconut ice cream partially submerged in a shot of single-origin espresso.
The other signature coffee beverage is called ‘The Salty Koffie’ (RM13), with iced coffee, Gula Melaka & some salt combining to taste like something out of a cendol bowl. Deliciously well-balanced in its sweet-salty dimensions, ideal for a hot afternoon.
Desserts in jars are another highlight here; we like this one with yoghurt, mango & muesli mix – it tastes fresher than expected, with luscious slices of fruit partnered with smooth, creamy yoghurt.
Home-made cakes are available too – the recommendation’s the salted caramel chocolate, with a very moist, steamed texture.
All in all, we like Salt ‘n Koffie; it has lots of positive energy & a fun vibe. We think it’ll do deservedly well; kudos to its owners.
