Our Story

Take a look at how OLDTOWN popularized White Coffee from Ipoh, to the World.

OLDTOWN is manufactured in Ipoh, the same town where in the 1930s the Hainanese concocted this delicious beverage.

Today, OLDTOWN is exported to 21 countries worldwide, sharing this Malaysian cultural heritage internationally.

Aside from White Coffee, OLDTOWN continues to introduce new offerings which magnify the Asian craft and tradition in both food and drink.

Brewing an authentic white coffee

The OLDTOWN signature White Coffee recipe stays true to the authentic taste of traditional Ipoh White Coffee.

The recipe uses a three-bean blend to create a distinct taste profile. Arabica beans produce sweet, nutty and aromatic notes. Robusta beans give our White Coffee a stronger body and deep, roasted taste. Liberica beans are rare and is the reason why OLDTOWN White Coffee lingers long on the palate.

Furthermore, OLDTOWN’s controlled degree of roasting caramelizes the beans to produce White Coffee that is exceptionally aromatic and smooth.

Introducing the modern Kopitiam concept

When the first OLDTOWN Kopitiam opened its doors in Malaysia,
it was a perfect nexus between the comforts of a modern, air-conditioned setting and the delight of authentic local fare.

The contemporary ambience made local cuisine appealing to the younger generation, creating a renewed interest in Asian flavours and ingredients. Plus of course, a reverence for food that is made with time-honoured traditions.

Today, OLDTOWN outlets also come in express formats, so you can conveniently pick-up your favourite lunch order or cup of teh or kopi!
