After visiting Perting Dam, it was time to chill at famous Kow Po ice-cream parlour in Bentong town. When I pointed the camera at this little girl in the shop, she paused for me to click. She is the six-year-old granddaughter of the lady selling nasi lemak outside.

The man behind agreed she is really cheerful, helping the family when business is brisk and having fun at the same time. He is from the neighbouring town of Raub and he too recommended a few places to explore. I love a random road trip with no itinerary or schedule.

The Kuala Pansoon area is well-known for its picturesque kampung houses, hills, rivers and eco resorts. At the village square, is a nondescript kopitiam famous for its kaya or coconut egg jam. The family started making the breakfast spread some forty years ago. Branded as Kaya Sri Langat, it has become so popular that they now make around 12,000 jars a month.

The kaya is preservative-free and their pandan-flavoured version is made with real pandan (screwpine) leaves. Don’t just take-away but try it there with their steamed or toasted Hainanese bread (fluffy Roti Benggali), half-boiled kampung chicken eggs and black coffee.

Nam Wah Coffee Shop, it seems, is also popular with the cycling community and is at 18th Mile Hulu Langat.

Since its founding in 1940, Chong Kok’s simple and popular signature food has always been their steamed (or toasted) Hainanese bread with kaya and butter. Many also order  the famous house coffee and soft-boiled eggs. They have recent additions such as cheesecakes, packet nasi lemak and cucuk udang.

If you want to try some at home, you can purchase the kaya (coconut egg jam) in cups and the coffee powder in sachets. Chong Kok Kopitiam is located in Little India Klang, in front of the Railway Station, at 5 Jalan Stesen Klang. See previous pic.
