A taste of Nanyang coffee at Sepang's Chop Guan Kee


Coffee beans are spread on the ground for drying. — JERRINE TEO

In the quiet town of Sungai Pelek in Sepang, Selangor lies a small-time local coffee business that has been around for 81 years. The coffee beans here are roasted using traditional methods – with charcoal.

Today, Chop Guan Kee is a coffeehouse helmed by sisters Jerrine Teo and Teo Shao Hui, third generation owners who took over the business in 2021. Set in a kampung house, the shop serves not just local coffee but delicious local fare too.
