Nui Kopi (Facebook & Instagram)
A Penang pop-up stall specialising in making Vietnamese Egg Coffee and other drinks with Vietnam Coffee as the base. Nui Kopi also aims to give recognition to locally roasted coffee by serving Penang Coffee as well, giving the customer options to choose their preferable coffee base.
It all started when two friends had a drink one night and recalled their separate visits to Hanoi. With memory of the delectable drink in Hanoi still fresh in their minds, they decided to set up a pop up stall selling Vietnamese Egg Coffee and other handcrafted specialty drinks. What better way to brand it as Nui which means egg in Penang Hokkien.
