"Quite old kopitiam in Sungai Petani Town area but the shop is very clean and the ventilation is good. Used to have many stalls selling different food but nowadays only 2/3 stalls left. Nonetheless the soy milk and taufufah in this kopitiam is still the best in SP town over the years. The quality was maintained for more than 20 years and my family favourite spot for soybean delicacies ever since my childhood. The soy milk and taufufah cost RM3 each. I like to enjoy my taufufah by self adding some soy milk on top."
