So- Malaysia does produce coffee.I know it does, but have no idea where to buy it...can't find it in the market or the grocery????!!! Anyway, for some reason the popular coffee drinks are made with Nescafe- the dried instant stuff. Well, I drank it for awhile and actually liked it- especially over ice. But here is the difference between being on vacation and living somewhere...the novalty has time to wear off. The other day, I realized I needed to be able to make real coffee. For me, yes...but also if I wanted to inivte someone over...a common thing is to offer tea or coffee. Well, I was not going to serve up some crystalized coffee grinds. So, on a shopping trip the other day, I searched for a coffee press (called a plunger in Australia). Couldn't find one anywhere- so my new friend, Kate said- go to Starbucks. Yup right here in our grocery there is a Starbucks. I had not been in as it felt a bit to strange to go to Starbucks in Malaysia. But I went in...and this is what I came out with~
Our family will be living in Johor Bahru, Malaysia for at least a year ...keep track of us as we journal our adventures and daily experiences.
