KCK at Kopitiam.


If you ask for a 'KCK' at this particular kopitiam here in Alor Star you would get a set of two half-boiled eggs on toasts. 'KCK' stands for Ketua Cawangan Khas. Apparently one KCK turns up at this kopitiam sometime in the last millineum and demonstrated how he liked his half-boiled eggs and toast made. That's how the story goes as told by the proprietor, fact or fiction, the signature dish is a favourite among regulars. BTW this kopitiam used to be a school building of the Convent Primary School. The school has been moved to a new site on the other side of town so sitting down here at this kopitian means sitting in what used to be a classroom. This place is very well patronised for breakfasts 7 days a week and certainly a good place to be to see what locals folks look like. Oh, there's another kopitiam at Kompleks Alor Star a few minutes away by car and the place is equally good. You can get your KCK overthere too, the proprietor is kind of related.
