After raves from my good friend, Angeline, who's a coffee connoisseur, I was eager to try the brew at Bercham Great Wall Kopitiam. She had earlier shown me the way there as it's not the easiest place to locate, being tucked away in a hidden area at the foothills.

| This is the unassuming coffee shop which serves excellent coffee at really low prices! |

| A menu like this will make a coffee aficionado very happy. |
My excitement to taste the coffee there was fraught with disappointment on two consecutive days as the coffee shop was closed. The third time is the charm as I found it open and bustling with business when I went there again after my car service.
Despite the crowd, I managed to secure myself a table after queueing to place my order. It was a 20-minute wait for my coffee but I used the time to send text messages to hubby, survey the available food stalls, savour the aroma of coffee wafting in the air and to people-watch.

| Look at the queue to place orders! |
My cup of Dark Roast El Salvador (RM4.50) has arrived!
Mmm...it's a well-balanced brew with medium body, the right amount of acidity and a honey-like sweetness.

| Dunking my soda cracker into my coffee (hmm...I wonder if a 油炸鬼 can work too?) |
Noting that there were some regular customers who even brought their own tumblers to have their coffee taken away, it gave impetus to future visits to try Great Wall's other blends without having to jostle for a table. Now, should I go for the Macchiato Lover or should I try their Gula Melaka Latte next time round?
