Malaysian Coffee Then and Now

When you talk about Malaysian coffee, either you think about a drink made of coffee beans harvested in Malaysia, or a certain taste of coffee that you heavily associate with it. In any case, this beverage is prepared by holding ground coffee in a certain cloth and pouring boiling water over it. The result is a strong and bitter taste, but anyhow, people love to drink it either hot or cold. If you’re looking for some sweetness, you can simply add condensed milk and you get that extra titillation on your taste buds.
When in Malaysia, a popular hangout of coffee lovers is a Kopitiam coffee shop which reminds everyone of the pre-war era when ceiling fans provided ventilation for people who shared a few cups while talking about their lives and others’. Coffee served in this shop is about the same as coffee you’ll find in Thailand’s Trang province, which is home to the kin of Fujian traders.
People in Malaysia are predominantly tea-drinkers, so it’s rather unclear how coffee became quite popular in this country through the centuries. Liberica, which is native to Africa, was believed to have been brought to Malaysia in the 18th century.  

With the advent of technology and commercialism, coffee in Malaysia has taken on the fast lane with instant products such as Old Town White Coffee and Nescafe Coffee being very popular among modern shoppers. These instant varieties are readily available in stores of all shapes and sizes, from malls to specialty stores that also sell other goods such as Maggi Noodles, Apollo Cake and the like. 

Exploring Malaysian Exports as a Business Opportunity


If you are a Filipino who frequently travels to Malaysia and are looking for a new business opportunity, why not engage in the export business? Food is a particularly attractive investment because, after all, who doesn’t need it? In Malaysia, there are various opportunities for you to explore, such as partnering with Hanyaw.

Hanyaw is an exporter of various consumer goods, including food and non-food items. From Maggi Noodles to Apollo Cake to Old Town White Coffee to Nescafe Coffee and many other saleable items, Hanyaw can give you something to get busy with while fattening your bank account.

Its main office is located in Sandakan Natural City in Sabah and the company has established export trade to the Philippines since 1986. Hanyaw Malaysia is a rapidly growing business with whom its large Filipino clientele has been increasingly satisfied. Shipments to the Philippines can land as soon as one day after orders are made, with five main drop off points, including Manila, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao City and Zamboanga City.

Recently, the enterprise has also been forwarding shipments to importers from all over the world, including Hong Kong, China, Papua New Guinea, Dili, Hawaii, Guam (Okinawa & Mariana Islands), South Africa, Indonesia (Sulawesi & Kalimantan), Yemen, Australia, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. 

As you can see, Malaysia is not only ripe with attractions for tourists. It is also a good starting point for doing business. In this day and age, having something to boost your income is always a welcome idea. With grocery items from Hanyaw, the prospect of success is clear.
