So if you have watched our next video
Oops I meant on our previous video
we already talked about the rice stall Marikena
We mentioned that we would go get a coffee afterward at Warkop Geleng.
According to Bintang, Warkop Geleng is like the local "Starbucks".
Coffee shop with the touch of local taste
The place is actually not far from the rice stall just now. You can walk from there.
This here is at Jamin Ginting Street, at the intersection with Parang I Street.
The location is at the corner, facing the Main Street.
It's a combination of two houses; the place is quite spacious and it is an open space.
Although the interior is quite old, but you'll be surprised because there's wifi here.
True, there's WiFi!
This is like the local community place where people come together just to hangout,
meeting friends or even doing business meeting here,
And usually this place is packed
Right now it's not but could be because it's lunch time so everyone looking to stuff their stomach with filling food first.
I heard that they sell breakfast in the morning.
Here, they are opened from 6AM to 12 AM.
It's run by a family.
Cause it's a family business, they have 3 shifts; each shift changes every six hours to make sure every single thing is handled by a member of the family.
This coffee shop has been around for 50 years
Named after the father who was called Geleng,
And this is the first coffee shop opened in the area of Padang Bulan
The first WarKop (coffee shop)?
Yes the first one here.
It's a legacy that has become family inheritance
It becomes a place where everybody comes just to talk about anything - literally anything
it's a must to talk business here.
In accordance with the changing era, they provide sterling stalls for people who want to sell foods.
They rent it out.
For example in the morning, there are people who sell pangsit, and at night there are people who sell mie goreng
Basically their drinks are halal but I'm not sure about the foods - it is up to the food seller.
What about the taste?
Generally, it has the standard taste of a coffee sold in any other Warkop
For me, it's too sweet.
Maybe it's because of the dense sweet creamer. It filled almost half the cup.
So for those who don't like sweet stuff, you may request them to put less creamer.
Or maybe just have them put it separately.
It's too complicated.
By the way, in the morning, they also sell a dessert called Pulut Srikaya (Glutinous rice with Srikaya) along with some traditional grilled toast.
So it's like a typical WarKop, then? They have grilled toast, and pudding.
According to my friends who mostly come here, their favourites are the Coffee Milk and Milk Tea.
It's too sweet for my preference.
I honestly like the place. First reason, it's not hot.
It's in open space and the tables aren't placed closely with each other.
It's not the stuffy type of WarKop.
But actually, they usually put more chairs at night because it was just too crowded.
So there is privacy - albeit a little.
When we talk about business, the people at the next table can't hear us.
Like those people, they're probably talking about business.
If you happen to be around in this area, then come and try this WarKop Geleng.
