RainForest Coffee Bean @ Jonker Street, Malacca

  For the past few weeks, it would seem that I've hit upon a blogging hiatus, really had lost touch in the 'ideas' department. Plus time was not really a friend of mine in recent times then. Anyway, my recent travels found myself scurrying through the historical streets of Malacca, rampaging through all kinds of local delicacies it has to offer.

A semi-converted antiques coffee-craven.

  As always, everyone would have rather died than trying to miss the Malacca famous chicken rice balls, or the exquisite taste of satay celup, and of course the amazing Malacca cendol. Those aside, I happen to stumble upon modernization, something of rich flavour and taste ~~ Behold, a coffee shop in the heart of Jonker Street!

Coffee-beans!

The Holy-Book-Of-Coffee!

  Few years back during my last trip here, I've not remembered seeing the front of this shop, at least that was what memory has for mii. And now there it was, RainForest Coffee Bean; it's rich aromas of neatly-served coffee, reaching out to tourists for a stop-by.

Cozy

Giant coffee-bean menu!!

  This shop was actually one that deals with business of antiques of all kinds few years back, but has now been partly converted into a coffee heaven for caffeine addicts. Of course the antiques are still on for display, business goes on as usual, but the dimension of the shop has changed. With people coming in and out, enjoying the rich taste of Arabican Coffee Beans while the antiques get a fair share of exhibition moments.

A nice stop-by for tourists!

  Now on the coffee, it claims to serve 100% Arabican originated coffee beans. And of course being a major caffeine addict, I couldn't help but to take on a warm cup of cappuccino. My friend Mei Yee decided on some macaroons to add to taste.

  What can I say? I've tasted cappuccinos from Malaysia to Taiwan, China, Thailand, Switzerland and many more, not to say from franchised companies, so and so. And yes, as in all high-quality coffee beans, this suits my taste a lot! The perfect combo of bitterness and tinge of sweetness; without brown sugar, it by itself is an amazing stand-out I give you that, certainly worth a try!

  Oh yes, the macaroons  lovely little sweeties they are. We got 3 pieces for RM9, of purple, brown and chocolate colours. The purple one was lavender my friend said, and one bite proves it all. It is not just the taste that was exquisite, but that the sweet, flowery smell arose from each bite, certainly you could still smell that sweet aroma after gulping down one of these. For the chocolate and brown ones, well, chocolate is chocolate, no changing to that. But we were unable to identify the taste of the Mr. Brown. My friend thought it was peanut butter, nevertheless, the aroma ad taste was enough to put ones heart to content.

Little sweeties!

  Honestly, I did not try much then due to my overblown tank of wonderful foodstuff that day. Of course there are many other kinds of coffee and non-coffee based drinks here, and each and every of them perfected to suit one's taste. Would recommend the Affogato and Cafe Latte there. Rich and awesome in every aspect. Do try out the other tidbits and desserts served there too, I'm sure there would be one for the liking.

  Overall, this really is a place to stop-by to have a quick rest after a days walk at Jonker Street, and certainly a heaven for coffee lovers. Do stop by some time, at least I would in the following weeks to come. Till then, see ya!! :)

When culture meets modernization
