Chawan
Situated where the old Devi's Corner in Bangsar was, is Chawan, a kopitiam smacked right along Telawi Street. Despite opening recently, the place is already regularly packed to the brim. What drew us to the place was word of mouth that the Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang (RM9.90) is good. The reality didn't turn out to be that appetizing. For what it's supposed to be, the rice tasted too plain. The chicken rendang didn't taste too bad, but its portion is so small that you end up devouring it ahead of the amount of rice. There wasn't much to say about the sambal either; it lacked a spicy kick. Try the asam laksa (RM9.90) instead. The sourish laksa broth is balanced in terms of the concentration of fish flavour, making the noodles tangy and worth every slurp. As the name Chawan implies, this cosy place is great to grab a cuppa, as you can get any locally-produced coffee on their menu. Alas, everything here is over priced and nothing offered is close to fancy.

I tried the curry mee. Not up to the mark. Disappointing.
I love thier coffee where u can choose from variety of local coffee
Chawan's food is so-so average, there's not much choice, and the price is OTT. I think its pretty darn brave seeing there are so many other kopitiams around, with lower pricing and better-tasting food! Even their OJ is pathetic.
how can you tell me to differentiate between those kopi? they are all taste the same.
