“We’ve had many adult guests, around my grandparents’ age, who’ve come in and shared stories about how their grandparents would make it for them in the mornings and right before bed.” Even though teh tarik is a simple drink with only two or three ingredients , the art of manually pulling the tea and milk into one luscious and frothy concoction comes with no shortcuts or machines. At Kopitiam, there are no pre-mixed batches of teh tarik; each drink is made-to-order.
“We’re in a day and age where the goal of everything is to see what can make the drink faster and faster,” Tsai says. “Having to brew and wait while only using metal pitchers and tea sock strainers to create this delicious drink—there’s beauty in that.”, the culinary mastermind behind Kopitiam, grew up in Penang, Malaysia and comes from a lineage of kopitiam owners. She teaches her staff to use the teh tarik recipe and technique she inherited from her family.
Teh tarik? Oh wow!
so crazy to see you guys cover this. even crazier to think that there is a pretty legit Malaysian kopitiam of the same name in the heart of NY city. so happy!!
